| Description | Zoom Webinars can be used like a virtual lecture hall or auditorium. Webinars are ideal for large audiences or events that are open to the public. Typically, webinar attendees do not interact with one another. Though Zoom provides options for you to be more social with your attendees, your average webinar has one or a few people speaking to an audience. |
With simulive webinars, you can reduce the amount of effort required to successfully run a webinar by using pre-recorded content. Simulive webinars allow hosts to share a previously recorded cloud recording as a video file within a webinar. The webinar will automatically start at the scheduled time, without the need for the host to be present. The host and panelists can still join and interact with the audience through live chat and webinar Q&A. Hosts can also configure the simulive webinar to automatically transition to a live session after playback. During the simulive playback, hosts and panelists can join the backstage area to prepare for the live portion. They receive visual notifications before the transition to live. Once transitioned, the webinar functions as a regular live session. Note: Simulive webinars can be managed by users with scheduling privileges. Both users must have a webinar license and Zoom Events or Zoom Sessions license in addition to existing prerequisites. |
