When I was the host for an MNC series of webinars on HVAC topics,  I was told that it is not advisable to have a breakout room as the audience may be too large to handle?

But when I tried it out during one of the webinars,  I noticed it is possible to do so but you need to prepare your breakout room in advance. You need to do some management of likeminded participant to ensure the audience do not get passive in their interactions.

Do share what are your strategies for keeping your breakout room engaged and participative especially for the shy Asian audiences.

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with my recurring webinar series on Zoom. The webinar dates were automatically changed without any action on our part, and Zoom sent an email to participants informing them of a schedule change, which is incorrect and causing major confusion.

Here are the details of the issue:

• Issue: Zoom modified the dates without any manual changes from our team and sent a misleading email to participants.
• Impact: We are losing participants due to this confusion.

Could you please investigate why Zoom changed the dates automatically and provide guidance on how to prevent this from happening again?

We would appreciate a prompt resolution, as this is affecting the success of our webinar series.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm organizing a Zoom Webinar event and want to schedule a walkthrough session with my panelists beforehand. This walkthrough will cover:

• Familiarizing them with Zoom webinar controls (audio, video, screen sharing).
• Practicing entering and exiting the webinar.
• Testing breakout room functionality.
• Understanding the transition between the live webinar and the "backstage" area.

I have a few questions regarding this walkthrough and the webinar setup:

1. Panelist Registration: Do my panelists need to formally register as attendees for the webinar in order to participate in the walkthrough or the live event?
2. Early Access & Reusability: Can we access the full webinar interface a month prior to the event for our walkthrough, start and stop the webinar during the practice session, and then re-access the same webinar with all settings intact on the scheduled event date? In other words, can we use the same webinar link for a practice run and the actual live event?

We are running a hybrid meeting and using Zoom webinar for the online audience. All speakers will be presenting in English and we know we as hosts have to select the language that closed captions appear in. Which for the majority will be fine. We will have numerous delegates joining whose first language is NOT English. Ideally individuals watching need to be able to select the closed captions in their preferred language (just for them to see) is this possible? If yes, what settings do I need to activate? IF not is there a 3rd party system we can purchase to add to zoom for this. Help please!
