Zoom Webinar for Universities and Training Providers
Transform lectures, professional seminars and knowledge-sharing programmes into structured online events with Zoom Webinar.
Universities, colleges, training organisations and professional associations can use Zoom Webinar to reach larger audiences without giving every participant the same level of control as a presenter.
A Structured Environment for Learning Events
Zoom Webinar uses separate roles for hosts, co-hosts, panelists and attendees.
Lecturers, trainers and invited speakers can be appointed as panelists, allowing them to use video, audio and screen sharing. Learners or public attendees can join in view-only mode and communicate through features such as Q&A and chat when enabled.
This format is suitable when an event has a defined group of speakers and a much larger audience.
Suitable Education and Training Programmes
Zoom Webinar can be used for:
- Public lectures
- Academic seminars
- Research presentations
- Student orientation
- Continuing professional development
- Industry talks
- Alumni programmes
- Training demonstrations
- Certification briefings
- International guest lectures
- University open days
- Professional association events
Improve the Participant Journey
Registration can be enabled before the event, allowing organisers to capture relevant participant details and send event-related communications.
During the programme, organisers may use Q&A, polls, chat and reactions to encourage participation. Zoom lists polls, Q&A, chat and audience reactions among its webinar engagement capabilities.
After the event, registration, attendance, polling and other webinar reports may be reviewed for administrative and evaluation purposes.
Prepare Speakers Before Going Live
Zoom Webinar supports a practice session that can be accessed by hosts, alternative hosts and panelists before the webinar is opened to attendees.
A practice session allows the organising team to:
- Test microphones and cameras
- Confirm presentation order
- Review screen-sharing permissions
- Brief moderators and panelists
- Test slides and videos
- Confirm how questions will be handled
- Resolve technical issues before attendees enter
