Zoom webinars are different from meetings in many ways, both in what happens before the meeting as well as the interaction during. If you want a Zoom webinar, these are the things to think about and information we will need to set up your webinar. (When you fill out the form, it will step you through the information needed. This is just a guide of things to think about.)
Please fill out this form for a webinar and we’ll be in contact with you with the details of your webinar and any followup questions.
Before a webinar can be created, we need at least the basic information (title, name of host, date and time). The following items should be added when it is created, but can be modified if needed.
General
Webinars have panelists as well as co-hosts. Please let us know the name and email address of the panelist(s) that need to be in your webinar. If you have a picture or bio for a panelist, you can include that as well.
Webinars also can have a Q&A area as well as a chat (or just one of those if you want). This can depend on how you want attendees to ask questions.
A practice session allows you and your panelists to be in a webinar before the public can see/hear anything. This gives you time to set up a PowerPoint or go over roles before it opens to the public.
Registration
One of the biggest differences between a meeting and webinar is registration. You can have people register for an event and collect information from them before the event happens. The form will step you through this, but here is what it will ask you. We will need the contact email for the person the registration information will go to. We will need the information fields that you want potential registrants to provide. If there is any extra text you want in the confirmation email sent to attendees, that can be added as well as reminder emails to go out 1 hour, day and/or week before an event.
Once an event is over, an email can also be sent to those who attended. This, too, can be customized.
