About Zoom Webinars
Zoom Webinars and Zoom Events are the webinar and virtual event products of Zoom Video Communications, the San Jose company (renamed Zoom Communications in late 2024) whose meeting software became the default for video calls. Zoom Webinars handles broadcast-style sessions where panelists present to a large audience, while Zoom Events (including Zoom Sessions for single and multi-session events) adds event hubs, lobbies, ticketing and multi-day conference features on the same infrastructure.
Webinars include registration with custom questions and approval, branded pages and emails, a backstage area for panelists, Q&A, polls, chat, reactions, and live captions. Simulive plays pre-recorded content as if it were live, and recordings become on-demand content. Zoom Events adds an event lobby, networking, expo booths for sponsors, ticketing and multi-track agendas for virtual and hybrid conferences. Reporting covers registration, attendance and engagement, and integrations connect to HubSpot, Marketo, Salesforce and other marketing tools. Licensing is per host and attendee capacity, starting at 500 attendees for Webinars, with larger capacities and Events packages priced higher or quoted.
Zoom is a safe choice for company all-hands, large customer webinars, training and conferences, because attendees already know the interface and the video infrastructure is reliable at scale. Marketing-focused tools usually offer richer engagement analytics and conversion features: Livestorm and Demio run fully in the browser with marketing integrations, and ON24 provides enterprise-grade engagement analytics.
