Zoom Webinars
Most of us are familiar with using Zoom to conduct an online meeting. Western University has detailed Zoom tutorial documents available online.
However, sometimes for large events, a Zoom Webinar may be more appropriate than a Zoom Meeting. Webinars are designed so that the host and any designated panelists can share their video, audio and screen. However, in a Zoom Webinar the majority of attendees are view-only participants. It is a much more secure and controlled environment in which to hold a large event.
