Meetings are designed to be a collaborative event where all parties can share, whereas webinars are designed so that the host and designated panelists can share and view-only attendees can watch the presentation. Zoom meetings can host up to 500 participants and allow participants video or profile pictures to be displayed. Webinars are for up to 3,000 participants with options to extend more using YouTube Live.
If you are hosting a large event, or don't want participant video or profile pictures displayed, contact us at mps@csusm.edu to discuss the Zoom webinar option and get a webinar license. Not sure if you need a Zoom meeting or Zoom webinar, review the comparison chart to help you decide.
While the best scenario is to keep disruptive persons out of your meeting to begin with, if your meeting is being disrupted, there are things you can do to minimize the disruption.
A participant could be saying something or simply making noise. You can Mute the individual person. The Mute button next to each person’s name in the Participants window.
Mute All – if you’re not sure who’s making the noise. The Mute All button at the bottom of the Participants window.
Remove participants’ ability to unmute themselves. The More menu at the bottom of the Participants window. At this point you, as Host, are the only person that can unmute someone.
A participant could have something offensive in their webcam video or in their virtual background. Mute the video of a participant. The small camera icon next to each person’s name that allows you to turn their camera off.
NOTE: Participants can turn their video back on. You cannot prevent this.
One of Zoom’s basic capabilities is screen sharing, but someone may attempt to share something objectionable. You can stop anyone from sharing their screen unless you allow it.
Advanced Sharing Options under the Screen Sharing menu at the bottom center.
With this selected, only you – the host – can screen share.
This can also be done in the Security menu, available at the bottom of the screen.
Stop a screen share already in progress. While someone is sharing, this button is at the top of the screen. Click it to stop the share.
You can remove a disruptive participant out of a meeting. Pop up the More menu next to a person’s name in the Participants window and choose Remove.
