Frequently Asked Questions
Product Comparison
What is Zoom Webinars, Zoom Sessions, and Zoom Events?
Zoom Webinars offers a simple, secure, and reliable solution to broadcast your message to a wide audience. Built with Zoom’s best-in-class audio and video technology, engage the room with chat, Q&A, and polls. Improve webinar performance with registration and engagement reports along with integrations to CRM and marketing automation platforms.
Zoom Sessions offers a premium webinar solution with advanced branding, robust production tools (Backstage, Simulive, Production Studio), text and image generation using Zoom’s AI Companion, team collaboration, and richer analytics, all on Zoom’s events platform.
Zoom Events offers a comprehensive webinar and virtual event solution that supports multi-track, multi-day events, a virtual expo hall for sponsors, greater attendee networking opportunities, and hybrid event capabilities (badge printing, check-ins, mobile companion app), all on Zoom’s events platform.
What's the difference between a Zoom Webinar and Large Meeting?
Zoom Webinars are designed for presenting to a large audience, with attendees primarily in view-only mode. Hosts have full control over who can speak or share content, making it ideal for public events or broadcasts.
In contrast, Large Meetings are an extension of regular Zoom Meetings, allowing up to 1,000 participants to fully interact with audio, video, and screen sharing.
Webinars prioritize controlled presentation, while Large Meetings facilitate open group discussions.
Features and Functionality
Can a host manage several webinars or events simultaneously?
With a subscription plan, you can only run one live webinar or event at a time.
With the pay-per-attendee plan for Zoom Events or Zoom Sessions, you can host multiple live webinars or events at the same time.
Can a host run events with multiple tracks simultaneously?
Yes, Zoom Events supports multi-track events. Hosts can organize events with up to 15 tracks running at the same time.
What post webinar/event analytics are available?
For Zoom Webinars, we provide insights into audience engagement, including registration, attendance, Q&A, polling, reactions, and survey results. You can export these reports as CSV files.
For Zoom Sessions and Zoom Events, we provide more robust analytics capabilities including dashboards of the event summary, attendee demographic and participation breakdown, and custom reports that you can build.
What's the maximum duration for hosting a webinar/event?
Zoom Webinars, Zoom Sessions, and Zoom Events allow you to host a webinar or event for up to 30 hours.
Our single-use webinar plans let you host a webinar for up to 3-hours, which comes with pre and during-webinar support from a Zoom event services team member. Single-use webinars beyond 3-hours may require additional paid consulting services.
Is the attendee and host experience the same in extra large webinars?
Webinars up to 100K attendees will have all the native audience engagement features as with any webinar such as Q&A, chat, polls, reactions, surveys, and getting promoted to a panelist.
For webinars over 100K, it’s best practice to disable chat, Q&A, and reactions as it can cause distractions to the presenters and other audience members. If you would like to enable these features, a Zoom event services team member will help plan and monitor your webinar to allow for these interactions in a limited capacity.
Attendee Capacity
Can Zoom Event, Zoom Session or Zoom Webinar have more attendees than the plan size?
The total number of attendees who can join is based on your plan (i.e. a 500 attendee capacity plan allows up to 500 attendees). However, you can have unlimited registrations for unpaid events or you can set a registration limit.
What is the maximum capacity for Zoom Events, Zoom Sessions and Zoom Webinars?
Zoom Webinar can support up to 1 million attendees.
Zoom Sessions and Zoom Events can support up to 100,000 attendees.
Do attendees need to have a Zoom account to join a webinar or event?
No, attendees don't need a Zoom account to join a webinar or event.
Purchasing and Licensing
What are the different payment options for purchasing Zoom Webinars, Zoom Sessions, and Zoom Events?
Zoom Webinars offers a monthly/annual subscription, a one-month plan, and a single-use plan.
Zoom Sessions and Zoom Events offer a monthly/annual subscription and a pay-per-attendee plan.
All monthly/annual subscriptions are priced based on attendee capacity. Annual subscriptions for Zoom Sessions and Zoom Events come with a Zoom Webinars license at the same capacity.
Pay-per-attendee plans do not come with a standalone Zoom Webinars license.
How does a pay-per-attendee license work?
A pay-per-attendee license gives you a set number of attendee slots to use across all your events in a 12-month period from your date of purchase. For example, a 1,000 attendee license lets you host one event with 1,000 people, ten events with 100 each, or any combination that adds up to 1,000. If you go over your limit, there's an extra charge per additional attendee.
For US Customers: If your non-profit organization is eligible for a sales tax exemption, follow the support guide to submit your exemption certificate. Some certificates may need manual review and result in initial tax charges, but once approved, any applicable taxes paid will be refunded to your original payment method.
Global Non-profit Discount: Zoom collaborates with TechSoup to offer verified non-profit organizations worldwide a special discount. For further details and to claim this offer. Please visit their website.
Support and Services
Does Zoom offer professional services to support customers when using these products?

Event Services offers a variety of event support packages to meet the unique needs of our customers. Event Services include best-practice consultation on run of show, production set-up and support as well as live event management and moderation.
Do you support language interpretation?
Zoom's language interpretation lets hosts designate panelists as interpreters, and participants can select their preferred language audio channel with over 35 languages supported. Cloud recordings capture only the original audio, and local recordings record what the person recording hears, excluding multiple audio channels.
