Zoom Webinar Review.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We utilize Zoom Webinars for all our webinars within our scientific society. This allows us to reach people worldwide with our scientific webinars. We use Zoom webinars on average once or twice a month for our webinars. The Zoom platform is much easier for our speakers to use than the previous platforms we have used.
Pros
- Speaker access.
- User-friendly.
- Easy to build a webinar.
- Easy to look up analytics after the webinar.
Cons
- Director speaker join- sometimes it doesn’t work, and I have to send multiple emails for the speakers (who didn’t receive the original Zoom invitation) to join the webinar.
- Updating the event description - the latest update made it difficult to update the description for the event in any place other than the event page, which is clunky.
Likelihood to Recommend
The program is much easier to build and design the webinar, as well as for our speakers to log in and speak, compared to other interfaces we have used (GoToWebinar, X-CD). It is also easy to see the analytics after each webinar, which our organizers appreciate.
