Zoom Webinars and Zoom Meetings are an excellent way to keep businesses running when travel restrictions increase. Find out all the pros and cons of recording a Zoom Webinar.
We are living in unprecedented times. The coronavirus outbreak has caused havoc all over the world. Schools in China have been closed since mid January. Flights to and from Asia have been halted. Individuals who have been to Asia, Iran and Italy have been told to self isolate for two weeks.
As the virus spreads across borders, other countries are beginning to take similar draconian measures.
I type now from the newest epicenter: Northern Italy. I was supposed to teach a three week course to high schoolers, but the day before the course began, the school was declared closed indefinitely by mayoral decree.
F@#$%*!
Cancelling the course wouldn’t be an option. The financial and reputational loss would be too much for the small company that delivers the course. The solution: Zoom!
The course was quickly reorganized to be delivered by Zoom Webinar, a remote video conferencing service. Within a day the course was back on and I was teaching students from their mountain retreats and Milanese bedrooms.
With the growing spread of the coronavirus and increased possibility of school shutdowns, business closures and travel restrictions, I can sense an increased need for Zoom Webinars around the world.
So if you haven’t used Zoom before, now is an excellent time to learn about the difference between Zoom Webinars and Zoom Meetings, why you should record Zoom Webinars and Zoom Meetings, and decide whether local recording or cloud recording of a Zoom Webinar or a Zoom Meeting is right for you/and or your organisation.
Zoom Webinars and Zoom Meetings are part of the Zoom platform that offer a video and web conferencing service, allowing participants from varied locations to get together and view and listen to the same content.
Zoom Meetings are more collaborative. Participants are able to screen share, turn on their video and audio, and see who else is in the meeting. The meeting attendees are capped at 1,000 for paid subscribers and 100 for free members. Additionally, Zoom Meetings can be conducted with Zoom’s basic account plan, which is free.
Zoom Webinars are more presentation orientated. Attendees are only allowed to view the hosts video. Only the host and designated panelists can share their video, audio and screen. Zoom Webinars can accommodate up to 10,000 participants with the right plan. However, Zoom Webinars are only available to premium subscribers.
There are many reasons to record your Zoom Webinars and Zoom Meetings:
Provides a complete record that everyone can revisit and watch.
Offers and option for people who can't attend live to watch later on demand.
Allows those attending to actively participate without the pressure of taking excessive notes.
