Zoom gives you a variety of tools to manage your participants, including muting one or all participants, putting an attendee on hold, or removing an attendee. You can also secure access to your meeting in a variety of ways. Are you using the same meeting room to meet privately with your students? Use the waiting room feature to keep the next student in a virtual waiting room until you finish up meeting with a student. Are you using the same meeting room to conduct online interviews? Lock your session to prevent the next applicant from joining until you are ready for them. Then, end your session and locate the session recording and attendance reports.

Now that you know how to create and host a meeting, creating and hosting a webinar is very similar. In a webinar, hosts have access to many of the same features and tools as a meeting, such as audio and video, screen sharing, polls, and co-hosts. However, attendees can only communicate through chat, Q&A, and raise hand, if the host has allowed those options in the webinar settings. This module will focus on the features and tools in a Zoom webinar that are different than a Zoom meeting.
You can create a webinar with registration or without registration. If you are using registration, you can use Zoom’s default webinar registration questions or customize the registration process by creating your own. You can also have Zoom automatically approve all registrants or you can manually approve each registration.
