In a Zoom webinar, by default only the allocated host or presenters can be seen or heard. If you expect higher numbers than 500 or have had registrations for more, a higher webinar license allocation (up to 1000 or 3000) can be requested. Once you have been allocated a webinar license, you can schedule a session via the conferencing portal by logging into Zoom with your University credentials. Zoom webinarsĪ Zoom webinar license (default size is 500 participants) or capacity upgrade is available via here. However, there are situations where Zoom Webinar may be more appropriate to your needs, such as having a large number of students in a webinar. Zoom meetings give you a better breadth of features for collaboration, active learning and managing your students (such as breakout rooms). We recommend using Zoom Meetings for webinars/online tutorials with your students, rather than Zoom Webinar. Zoom Meetings are designed to be collaborative sessions with the option for instructors to let participants screen share, turn on their video and audio, and see who else is in attendance. Users can also record their screens, screen share and use Zoom for remote desktop control. The Zoom Meeting and Zoom Webinar tools offer similar features and functionality but have some key differences. When logging in for the first time be sure to use the SSO-login to access the institutional version of Zoom or follow the setup instructions at getting started with Zoom. The service can be used on a desktop or a mobile and is available in the self-service portal on all staff MOE computers. Zoom supports up to 300 participants in standard meetings (webinars support up to 500 or more on request). Zoom is an online video conferencing tool for all University of Melbourne staff.
