I want to host a webinar in June but want to setup the whole thing from now. I want to ask if I take the webinar one month option, will it allow me to setup webinar from now for the 3 days event in June? Normally I setup a meeting and then later on convert it to webinar before few days of the webinar event. I don't want to do this way and want participants to directly register for the webinar and also I dont want to pay every month of webinar license when Im not using it.

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @DrHanadi.
Interesting approach – and I think the way you did it before will work just fine. Here’s the steps I think you’re talking about:
This Zoom Support article has details you might want to read:

For example: After converting from Meeting to Webinar, the registration URL will change slightly, but the old registration link will automatically forward to the newer link, so there shouldn’t be any issues.
I don’t know if the option to convert is affected by the fact that you have a recurring session planned. The article doesn’t address the issue, but it seems like it should work fine.

@DrHanadi, I’ve created a test scenario, and it works as expected.
To initiate the change process, you click the name of the event on the Zoom Web Portal:
Then, this message appears:
Click Convert and it’s done. I did find that the registration URL listed was the same as the registration URL for the Meeting, but after clicking the URL in a browser, it does forward to another URL that is quite different from the original. I made a registration when it was a meeting, and that registration persisted after the conversion.
I hope this helps!
