Having Webinars Without Participants Creating A Zoom Account

Does anyone know if you can have a webinar without participants creating a zoom account.  This is creating a pain point for our clients and killing participation.  Users don't have to have accounts to get on traditional zoom meeting and asking them to create an account for a webinar is creating a problem for our clients.

@Legacy2023 Hi there, the participants of the Zoom Webinar are not required to have an account and they can also join via browser (so no requirement for account or software).

If the host has setup the: "Require attendees to authenticate to join" to be enabled and selected "Sign in to Zoom" then it would mean you need an account, but that is up the host to configure.
