Zoom Webinar Checklist

There are a limited number of Webinar licenses available for use.

You may request a webinar license from Media Services for a one-time event by emailing mediaservices@scu.edu or calling (408) 554-4520. Reserve this service early, as we have few available. The license will be added to your account at 12pm on the day your reservation begins and removed at 12pm on the date your reservation ends, for a total of 7 calendar days with the license.

You may schedule a Zoom meeting at your convenience and convert the meeting to a webinar once Media Services transfers the license to you. Any settings you have in the meeting will carry over to the webinar. The join link will remain the same for your attendees.

Webinar Pricing

The webinar license includes:

500 participants: $60 per 7 days

(which allows time for setting up the webinar, rehearsals, running actual events, and time to run and download reports and videos)

1 on 1 consultation and training with a Media Services staff

1,000 participants: $150 per 30 days

(which allows time for setting up the webinar, rehearsals, running actual events, and time to run and download reports and videos)

1 on 1 consultation and training with a Media Services staff

For an additional fee, we can provide a technician for the event, but in most cases, this is unnecessary. Participants can call Media Services on-call staff if they experience technical problems.

*Zoom no longer provides the 100 participant license level

Planning your Event

Contact Media Services as soon as possible to:

  • Check webinar license availability
  • Reserve your webinar license if you already know your event date/time.
  • Schedule webinar training if you've never done one before

You can schedule and share event Registration links before you receive the webinar license.

  1. Schedule a regular Zoom meeting and select the automatically generated meeting ID. You may also set settings like require registration and record the meeting automatically.
  2. Distribute the registration link to your attendees.
  3. Send a calendar invite or save the date to your panelists, but they do not need to register for the event. You will add panelists when you have the webinar license.

You will receive your webinar license a few days prior to your event. You can convert your meeting into a webinar and complete the rest of the setup at that time.
