Overview
A Zoom Webinar allows you to broadcast a Zoom meeting with unlimited minutes for up to 1000 view only attendees. As the host or a panelist, you can share your screen, video, and audio in a webinar, while attendees can use the chat or question and answer options to interact with the host and panelists.
Webinars can require pre-registration, with the option for the host to add custom registration questions, or registration can be turned off for attendees and attendees can join by simply clicking a link at the time of the webinar. Webinars can be held once, reoccur in a series, or be the same session held multiple times.
