Video conferencing prices on Zoom

Zoom webinar cost
Zoom has a special offer for webinars: From € 74 per month and host, you can organize events or online workshops for 500 to 10,000+ participants. While video conferences are collaborative events in which the participants can all actively intervene via video and audio, webinars are designed in such a way that the participants are only passively present in the spectator role. Audio and video sharing is for designated panelists and the host only.
You can even increase the number of viewers via streaming on Facebook Live or YouTube. Viewers can either be muted or actively participate. Other integrated functions are, for example, live questions, the integration of PayPal for chargeable additional content and surveys. Zoom webinars are therefore suitable for training courses, workshops or major events.
