Hello! We are hosting a webinar and will have an estimated 150 participants. Does anyone have a suggestion of using chat vs the Q&A? Thanks!

This will depend on the environment you'd like to facilitate during the webinar. Typically Q&A is the preferred method of communication for a webinar. The reason for this is because Q&A can be controlled so the only things seen by the attendees is the answered questions, rather than allowing a free for all in chat. Using Q&A with Zoom webinars
