A Zoom webinar is a controlled environment in which you can designate some participants as "panellist". The rest of the webinar participants can join in activities such as live polling and Q&A, but cannot share video or be seen in Gallery view, and can only share their audio when un-muted by the host. Also, webinars do not include breakout rooms.
Note:
-
The meeting cannot be scheduled with the personal meeting ID.
-
Scheduling privilege cannot be used. You must be able to log directly into the account with the license.
-
Recurring meetings cannot be used unless you 1, turn on registration for the meeting, or 2, remove the recurrence. Alternatively, you can create a brand new meeting.
