Zoom Meeting vs Zoom Webinar: What is the difference?
Zoom Meetings are designed to be a collaborative event, allowing all participants to share their screens, turn on their video and audio, and see who else is in attendance. Zoom meetings allow 1-300 participants.
Zoom Webinars are designed so the host and any designated panelists can share their video, audio, and screen. Webinars allow view-only attendees. Attendees can interact via Q&A, chat, and answer polling questions. Zoom webinars can host up to 1000 participants. Malicious attendees cannot share their screens or speak in a webinar.
