As Zoom states, "Meetings are designed to be a collaborative event with all participants being able to screen share, turn on their video and audio, and see who else is in attendance." What is a webinar? Virtual meetings are the transposition of that event into a virtual space, where the room and all of its functionality is facilitated by a service, such as Zoom.


These are usually performed in a room, at a table, during a pre-acknowledged day, time and location. When looked at as an in-person event, meetings are simply real-time events where multiple individuals collect together to discuss one or more items that are relevant to all of the attendees interests or roles.

But what exactly is a webinar in contrast to a meeting? It seems at times that the two terms: webinar and meeting, are used interchangeably when the idea to host a virtual gathering is planned. There are times where individuals at the university may feel the need to host a webinar.
