Zoom Large Meetings
Most of us are familiar with using Zoom to conduct an online meeting. Western University has detailed Zoom tutorial documents available online.
However, Zoom also has great options to support larger events, such as a conference, presentation days, or simply group work sessions during a class. Zoom Meetings include features like polls and chats for interactivity, and breakout rooms to allow smaller group of meeting attendees to work (or simultaneous talks within a main event).
If you are looking to host a large meeting with more than 300 attendees, then the "Zoom Large Meetings" add-on license may be of interest to you.
Science Technology Services has produced a detailed tutorial video about these various features:
