Meetings via Zoom include both Meeting and Webinar, which have different capabilities and usage. Meetings is designed for all participants to share screens, turn on camera, mic, and see other participants. On the other hand, Webinars allow screen sharing only for those with the Host or Panelists role. Other participants will be in View-Only mode and can communicate with the speaker through Q&A, chat, or polls only. Additionally, they cannot unmute or turn on cameras themselves; the host must do so individually.
