Meetings are designed to be a collaborative event where all parties can share, whereas webinars are designed so that the host and designated panelists can share and view-only attendees can watch the presentation. Zoom meetings can host up to 500 participants and allow participants video or profile pictures to be displayed. Webinars are for up to 3,000 participants with options to extend more using YouTube Live.

If you are hosting a large event, or don't want participant video or profile pictures displayed, contact us at mps@csusm.edu to discuss the Zoom webinar option and get a webinar license. Not sure if you need a Zoom meeting or Zoom webinar, to help you decide.
