They cannot share their screen or camera unless the host promotes them. This one-to-many architecture is what makes webinars suitable for large groups while keeping the presentation controlled.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>How Webinar Works in Zoho Meeting<\/h2>\n<p>A Webinar is created by a host in Zoho Meeting and can support a larger audience than a standard meeting session. Attendees register in advance and receive a join link via email. During the event, only the host and panellists have audio and video; attendees watch and interact through the Q&#038;A panel, polls, or chat. The host controls who speaks, when polls are launched, and whether the session is recorded. After the webinar, a recording and attendee report are available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>When to Use Webinar<\/h2>\n<p>Use a Webinar when your event is one-directional: product demos, training for large groups, thought leadership sessions, or customer education events. Choose a standard Meeting Session instead when you need all participants to actively contribute audio and video, such as team brainstorms or client workshops. The distinction matters for attendee experience: unexpected mic access or camera prompts in a webinar format confuse and delay the session.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Key Considerations for Webinar<\/h2>\n<p>Attendee capacity limits depend on your Zoho Meeting plan. Registration is a separate step that must be set up before sharing the event link; skipping it means you lose pre-event attendee data. If you plan to re-stream to YouTube or another platform, use the RTMP Broadcast feature rather than asking attendees to watch the webinar and a stream simultaneously. Recording a webinar requires the feature to be enabled in your plan, and recordings are stored in the cloud for a retention period set by your plan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>India Example:<\/strong> A Mumbai-based SaaS company runs a monthly product update webinar for its 400-strong customer base. The founder presents new features, the support lead runs a live Q&#038;A panel, and attendees vote on roadmap priorities via a poll. Registration data feeds into Zoho CRM for follow-up.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/registration-webinar-zoho-meeting\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Registration (Webinar)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/polls-and-qa-zoho-meeting\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Polls and Q&#038;A (Meeting)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/rtmp-broadcast-zoho-meeting\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">RTMP Broadcast<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is the maximum number of attendees for a Zoho Meeting webinar?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The attendee limit for Zoho Meeting webinars depends on your subscription plan.
