With Marvelous, you have the choice of two different live-streaming technologies.
OPTION 1: STANDARD
Standard live-stream comes with your Marvelous account.
You can schedule two different kinds of live-streams:
Broadcast (participants are view only)
Privates (1 on 1 - just you and your client)
The usage is based on live-streaming minutes (1,000 for teacher plans and 2,000 for studio plans). More about calculating live-streaming minutes here.
OPTION 2: ZOOM
For this option, you will require a paid Zoom account.
You can schedule two different kinds of live-streams:
Group collaborative// Zoom meetings (all participants are visible on screen)
Broadcast//Webinar (participants are view only). To use this feature, you require the Zoom Webinar add-on feature.
Once you initiate a Zoom live-stream, the Zoom "window" will open with full admin control.
How do I know which one to choose?
Price: If you are live-streaming infrequently and can stay under your live-streaming minutes limit, you may want to stick with the standard live-stream.
Familiarity: Many people have used Zoom and are comfortable with joining a Zoom meeting or webinar.
Do you need extra features?
If you're looking for more features, like screen sharing, waiting rooms, passwords you'll want to choose Zoom.
