Zoom Event Expectations (for WGST Events Only)
Let me help you make your next Zoom event a success! For each Zoom event, I like to create a jpg image, an email announcement, and an associated webpage. Please read through the following for what I need from you for each event.
There are 2 basic types of Zoom events – ‘meetings’ and ‘webinars’:
Meetings are designed to be a collaborative event with options for all participants being able to screen share, turn on their video and audio, and see who else is in attendance.
- ideal for hosting more interactive sessions where you’ll want to have lots of audience participation or break your session into smaller groups.
- By default, meetings have a capacity of up to 300 attendees, but by request can be increased to 500 attendees. (This request takes at least 1 week.)
- Webinars are ideal for large audiences or events that are open to the public. Typically, webinar attendees do not interact with one another.
- Webinars have ‘practice sessions’ to gather panelists before the event begins.
- By default, webinars have a capacity of 500 attendees.
- Webinars are a separate license, that must be requested well in advance of the event. It normally takes 2-3 business days to get the webinar license, and OIT prefers to give access to the registration system no more than 1 week before the event.
For each type of Zoom event, there are multiple options I'll need you to choose from: (click below to explore each)
