On Marvelous, we call Zoom webinars "broadcast" live-streams. In this type of live-stream, your students are view-only and only the teacher is visible.

You must have a paid Zoom account with the WEBINAR ADD-ON to use the Zoom webinar live-stream. Your participant limit is 100 and the participants are view-only attendees. You can add more participants by purchasing add-ons through Zoom.

(If you do not want the webinar style live-stream and want your participants to be able to participate, you should create a Zoom meeting or group collaborative live-stream. Learn more about Zoom meetings on Marvelous here.)

Before you can set up a Zoom webinar live-stream, you must integrate your Marvelous site with your paid Zoom account with the Zoom webinar add-on. How to do this is explained in this article.

You can add a broadcast live-stream event to any product type (memberships or courses) You simply, create and schedule the live-stream inside your product. And when it's time to go live, you initiate the live-stream from your calendar. Here's a step by step guide on how to create and start a broadcast live-stream event.

1) Go to “Calendar” and select “Add Event”.

2) Fill in the fields for this event including:

3) Under "Event Type", select "Broadcasting Event".

If you have multiple Zoom accounts connected, make sure to select the account you want to use for the webinar by clicking on the drop down.

4) Set the "date", "start-time", and "duration" of the live-stream. Check the box if you want the event to repeat and select the "day" and the "repeats until" date.

When you are ready to live-stream, you need to initiate the live-stream.

2) Go to your "Calendar" tab in your teacher account.

3) In your calendar, click on the live-stream session, you want to initiate.

5) To end the session, you can click "End Meeting" in the bottom right hand corner.

After the session has ended, Zoom will process the video and then send it automatically to your Media Library on Marvelous. It may take a few minutes to process depending on the length of the live-stream.

Click on Media Library and you will see the recording appear when Zoom's processing is complete. You can now add that recording to any of your products.
