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.

The features that are available on your account may vary depending on your subscription plan.

Make sure you are running a supported system.
