Raise Hand
Attendees can use the “Raise Hand” feature as a signal to get the attention of the organizer or to answer impromptu polls during a webinar. It can be used in multiple ways according to the discretion of the webinar organizer.
Allow to talk
Let attendees speak in a webinar using the “Allow to talk” feature. Attendees can also share their webcam videos using the “Allow to talk with video” feature. Attendees can share their questions or thoughts with everyone in a webinar once the organizer or a co-organizer grants permission to speak.
Make an attendee a co-organizer
Webinar organizers can make any attendee a co-organizer any time during a webinar. Once an attendee has been made a co-organizer, they can view attendee lists, handle Q&A, polls, and more.
Polls
Zoho Webinar helps you conduct live polls to gather attendees’ views and opinions on a subject. Get results instantly. You can either create instant polls during your webinar, or launch polls that you created before your webinar.
Handouts
Handouts let organizers share files such as slides, PDFs, or videos with attendees before, during, or after a webinar. They give your audience useful reference material to follow along with and take away, which keeps them engaged during the session and extends the value of your content after it ends.
Session materials
Webinar organizers can share materials such as PDFs, PPTs, and videos with attendees during the session. While scheduling webinars, you can attach materials from your computer, WorkDrive, or library. Once the organizer has started sharing the material, attendees will be able to see it.
Q&A
Webinar attendees can ask questions and receive answers through the Q&A tab. Organizers and co-organizers can view attendees’ questions and answer the attendees privately, or make it public and share the information with all attendees.
Project a question
You can project a question during a live webinar to ensure that everyone in your webinar will view that particular question in a more prominent way on their screens.
