Good day!

 

My organization is planning to hold a face to face event (seminar). But we are thinking of setting up a Zoom webinar to allow certain folks to watch the proceedings--and only watch, not chat, share their screens, or even see the names of other such attendees.

 

Would this sort of arrangement be possible?

 

Thanks in advance for your answers and inputs.

Hi

 

We have two webinars due to be run at the same time on 29th March. We have 1 500 attendee webinar licence and several individual licences for hosts. 

 

Will we be able to run webinar 1 with host A and webinar 2 with host B at the same time? Also what would be the attendee capacity for each webinar - 500 per webinar or 500 across both events?

 

Thanks

time differences in a series

Is it possible to create a series with different webinar start times?  I cannot find this.

Hey, I'm a bit lost. 

I want to do a webinar and bought a webinar plan to do this.

Now I've done some testing. But no matter what I'm trying the video resolution that I'm sending is just 640x360.

 

Of course I activated "HD" in the Client Video Settings and I also activated Group HD in my Zoom Settings.

How can I achieve a better video resolution?  640x360 is totally unacceptable for me. Thought a webinar would always be in at least 1280x720?

 

I've already seen Zoom webinars that have definitely been in HD and had a much better quality than my attempts. 😞

Looking forward for a solution or some hints.

 

Kind regards

Hi community!

 

How much bandwidth is necessary to host a webinar for about 100 viewers? Is a fiber optic cable with 50 Mbit/s enough? How do you calculate that? I don't need video feed or audio from the participants, only chat.

 

And how does it work exactly? Do the participants connect directly to my internet connection, or are they hosted by Zoom? So, do the users get their video feed directly from me, or from the Zoom servers?

 

Thanks in advance, Chris

My webinar attendees find that chat is disabled when they try to use. I have changed all the settings to restore 3 times as per Zoom guidelines but it is still disabled. I have also changed the setting so that I will be alerted when attendees join the webinar but this is not working either.


What else can I do now?

Meetings vs Webinars

I would like to run an event where participants can come into it for free. I understand that I can only have 100 people in meetings, but 500 people in webinars - but I don't like that we can't see everyone's faces in the webinar - is that correct? Show more

I have a memorial scheduled as a webinar and the link to register is widely distributed.

 

I realized that we want to see participants so wanting to convert the webinar to a meeting.  If I convert it now - will all the people who have a registration link be able to still register. I think a lot of people will register last minute thinking the registration link is a meeting link.
