Host features

Queued video support for simulive webinars

• Hosts can upload and sequence up to three videos within a single simulive webinar event, enabling automated playback of intro, main content, and outro segments. Hosts can reorder videos within the event setup, but not once the webinar starts. The system maintains the same file size limits per individual video while supporting seamless video transitions that appear as direct cuts to attendees. Videos are clearly labeled by their playback position, ensuring consistent presentation flow. This functionality works across both simulive and go live event types, accommodating organizations running multiple parallel webinars. The feature addresses the challenge of managing large-scale webinar operations without requiring external video editing tools. This feature must be enabled by Zoom.

Production Studio Video Scenes automatically start webinars when video begins

• Event producers and hosts can enable a setting in Production Studio's Video Scene configuration to automatically start the live broadcast when pressing Play on pre-recorded video content within a video scene. This setting eliminates the manual two-step process of starting the broadcast and playing the video separately. When enabled, the Start Broadcast button remains disabled until the host clicks Play on the configured video scene in the Program / Live section. Production Studio provides a clear visual indicator near the Play button to warn hosts that this action will also start the live broadcast. This feature ensures seamless, synchronized transitions for professional-grade events.
