Zoom Webinars

The functionality in Zoom Meetings should be enough for most staff and student requirements. However, Zoom Webinar is an additional feature. It is a virtual events option rather than an interactive meeting. Zoom webinar allows for virtual events with up to 10,000 attendees. Virtual events can be large online meetings such as, lectures, conferences, open days and award ceremonies.

A comparison of the differences between Zoom Meetings and Zoom Webinars is available here (Zoom support web page).

There is an extra cost to the Conservatoire for Zoom Webinars and so these need to be requested via the ithelpdesk@rcs.ac.uk
