What is a Webcast webinar?
Webcast webinars are live broadcast-style sessions with up to 3,000 attendees (Enterprise plans) and 1,000 attendees (Pro plans) in listen-only mode. This allows organizers to reach bigger audiences with even greater engagement.

- To start a webcast session, see Start a webinar (Classic) or Start a webinar, depending on if you use our classic or new GoTo platform to host your session. Select your preference in the Settings tab of your dashboard.
