Zoom Update: Video conferencing platform Zoom has rolled out a major upgrade to its webinar capabilities, now allowing up to 1 million viewers to connect simultaneously on a single call. The update comes after the capability was recently stretched for high-profile political fundraising events.
got new update
Let us tell you that in this new update, customers can connect from 10,000 to 1 million participants simultaneously. Zoom’s Chief Product Officer, Smita Hashim, said that this update is “revolutionizing the way organizations seamlessly connect and engage with large audiences.” This step has been taken after the recent fundraising events for Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.
This included a recent call hosted by Win With Black Women, which connected more than 40,000 people and raised nearly $1.5 million in just three hours.
Zoom envisions applications for this expanded capability beyond politics. The feature includes uses in enterprise communications, public sector outreach, and the entertainment industry’s fan engagement. Additionally, the platform will rely on its event services team to ensure large-scale virtual events run smoothly.
Premium users will get the facility
For your information, let us tell you that this new capability comes at a premium. A one-time webinar for 1 million participants costs $100,000, while an event for 10,000 people costs $9,000. In such a situation, people may like this new update a lot. Also, with this, many people can be easily reached simultaneously.
