Hi,

I would like to use a pre-recoded webinar/ Zoom meting for my webinar and then at the end go for a live Q/A

It means the first part (the presentation) of my webinar is recorded and the Q&A will be live

My questions are

Can I use Zoom meeting recordings for the pre-recorded beginning
How can I play the recording during the live webinar
How do I switch form the recorded part to the live Q&A at the end of the recording.

Many thanks,

Kind regards,

Josephine

Hi Josephine,

Here is a support article that explains how to do what you're looking for
https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360059914112-Hosting-live-webinars-with-pre-recorded-presentation

Zoom Webinars allows you to share a previously recorded session as a video file within a live session with live chat and Q&A. Zoom supports this through its built-in video player. Sharing your video with the built-in player improves the quality of the shared video. The webinar host simply needs to have a locally stored MOV or MP4 file of the previously hosted meeting or webinar session and share the video file within the webinar.

Why show a pre-recorded presentation within a live webinar?

I have the same presentation to deliver to different audiences but want to encourage interactive chat and Q&A with each audience
My presenters are only available for one time slot but I want to give the same presentation to different audiences in their timezone

I hope that helps! Please mark the reply Accept As Solution if it does.

@TomO one more question. I assume you will be able to run live polls during the recorded part of the webinar

Hey, @TomO and @Josephine1611 ...

I was curious, reading your post and replies, whether a Host could play a video and then open a Poll while the video was playing... so I tried it. It works!

The attendees will see the Poll show up in the middle of the video (it initially appears centered on the screen), but they can move it to the side -- but only have a little leeway on reducing it's size, so maybe pause your video (which you can do from the Share Screen Video Player window) while conducting the polls. Then, after voting, when you share the results, the window goes back to where the viewer had moved it... and subsequent questions/polls also go there too.
