Webinars are best suited for larger audiences and events open to the public, where attendees do not need to interact with each another. For details about the differences between Zoom meetings and webinars, see Meeting and webinar comparison.

To convert your existing Zoom meeting into a webinar:

1. Sign in to the Cornell Zoom web portal.
2. In the navigation panel, click Meetings. 
3. Click the name of the meeting you would like to convert into a webinar. 
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, then click Convert this Meeting to a Webinar. 
   

5. Click Convert to confirm.

   

After you have converted your Zoom meeting to a webinar, review the features available in webinars that you might find helpful for hosting your session, including assigning panelists, creating a registration form, sending email reminders, holding a practice session, and polling attendees.
