Zoom Webinars
Zoom Webinars is a paid platform for one-to-many broadcasts in which hosts control who can speak or share while attendees primarily view and interact. It supports live, automated, and on-demand sessions, with recording, registration pages, polls, and Q&A. Other engagement tools include chat, emoji reactions, quizzes, live transcription, and language interpreter support. The Webinars, Webinars Plus, and Events plans are each listed for up to 500 attendees, while Zoom says capacity across its webinar products can reach 100,000 depending on the purchased plan. The Webinars tier is listed with 720p video, basic event analytics, and no breakout rooms; Webinars Plus and Events list 1080p. Reports cover registration, attendance, Q&A, polling, reactions, and surveys, and can be exported as CSV files. Attendees do not need a Zoom account to join. Annual Webinars is listed at $66.67 a year and monthly Webinars at $89 a month.
