V 2.0: Introducing webinars, embed registration widget, and Google Chrome extension, hot-fixes for time zones, calendar events, and audio conferencing

Hello there,

After our announcement on adding webinar features, we received plenty of queries related to webinars, following which we have now introduced a separate tab to schedule and manage webinars apart from your meetings.  

Introducing webinars
When you log in to your Zoho Meeting portal, you would have noticed the all-new My Webinars tab. You can now schedule webinars, promote the registration link and allow attendees to register for your webinar. Get registered users list (export as CSV option is also available), add polls to your scheduled webinar on the webinar details page. Broadcast live and interactive webinar with webcam sharing and also record the session for later reference. Recordings will be emailed to you automatically once it is ready.

Embed registrations
We have also introduced an option to embed the registration form widget on your website directly. Just copy-pasting a code snippet on any landing page will do that. This will help you to an extent in reducing the bounce rate for separate registration page, which would, in turn, boost the registration count for your webinar.

Attendee engaging polls
Along with the webinar features, we are adding to Zoho Meeting, now we have introduced polling feature. You can add polls from the webinar details page, which will be listed in the presenter toolbar for you to run at any time during the webinar. Polls are available in multiple choices poll (single answer selection and multiple answers selection) and star rating polls. Making your webinar interactive will boost the participant's attentiveness. Ask your questions live and get the voting results instantly on your screen.

Introducing Google Chrome extension
When we moved to WebRTC technology, we were in a place to add an extension for screen sharing in Google Chrome. Now we have added user actions to that extension which will allow you to start instant meeting even without logging into the service. Add the chrome extension now and keep your meetings handy.
