The Health Computing office has access to a Zoom webinar license for bigger audiences when hosting a number of people for an event or meeting.
How to setup webinar
In a browser go to https://uwaterloo.zoom.us and select Sign In above configure your account.
3. Name your webinar and set your date and time. Make sure that you set the Webinar for the proper amount of time so that it doesn’t close it off before you are done and set required users to register for it.
4. Would recommend the following settings as well:
Video for Panelist to ON
Audio set to Both and edit Dial from to include other countries if needed (United States and Canada added by default)
Enable practice session checked off
At the bottom make sure to add alternative hosts who are part of your event or meeting group. Add users by searching there name or email. May want to check off Allow alternative hosts to add or edit polls if needed.
Make sure to add the following users as Alternative Hosts:
(Trevor Bain) etbain@uwaterloo.ca
(Josh Schmiedchen) jschmied@uwaterloo.ca
(Brent Clerk) bkclerk@uwaterloo.ca
5. Once everything is set you can hit Schedule. Alternative hosts at that time will get an email regarding the webinar for connection.
6. It will take you to your Webinar settings so you can then scroll to the bottom and under Invite Attendees you can select to the right of the Registration Link and copy the link then send it out via email to whoever you want to be able to register for the webinar.
