Sometimes, you need to have a meeting. Sometimes a webinar is best. To decide which is best for your event, you'll need to know the differences between them.
- A Zoom Meeting is best for more interactive sessions where you’ll want to have lots of audience participation. They are best suited to sessions where you would like to allow your attendees to actively speak and participate. This option will also allow you to create Breakout Rooms when needed, which is not supported by a Zoom Webinar.
