Request a Zoom Webinar
The Zoom Meeting and Webinar platforms offer similar features and functionality but have some key differences.
- Meetings are designed to be a collaborative event with all participants being able to screen share, turn on their video and audio, and see who else is in attendance.
- Webinars are designed so that the host and any designated panelists can share their video, audio and screen. Webinars allow view-only attendees. They have the ability to interact via Q&A, Chat, and answering polling questions. The host can also unmute the attendees.
UGA offers Zoom meeting accounts to faculty/staff and students at no charge. However, webinar accounts DO have a yearly charge associated with them. CAES owns several webinar accounts that we share with faculty and staff that have the need to do occasional webinars. We do this on a first-come, first-serve basis. To request a webinar, click on the "request service" button at the right.
