Live Stream a Zoom Meeting

Standard zoom meetings support up to 300 seats. The college supports a limited amount of webinars/meeting licenses that can hold 500-1000 seats. These licenses would require special permission and IT support to set up. One easy way to reach a larger audience is to live stream zoom meetings to YouTube or Facebook. The only requirement is to have a YouTube or Facebook account.

2. Click Account Management > Settings.
3. Toggle Allow live streaming the meetings under In Meeting (Advanced), and enable Youtube or Facebook. (It is not recommended to use Workplace from Meta or Custom Live Streaming)
