How to use Zoom to live stream a meeting on YouTube and Facebook

By using Zoom, you can easily and easily live stream on YouTube and Facebook. Of course, you can do the distribution by yourself, or you can do it with a large number of people participating.

This time, I will explain in detail how to do such a Zoom live broadcast.

On which platforms can Zoom be live-streamed?

If you want to live stream Zoom, you can use the following platforms.

• YouTube Live
• Facebook Live
• Workplace by Facebook
• Some compatible distribution services such as twitter, LINE LIVE, and Nico Nico Douga

You can also distribute across these multiple platforms at the same time, so you will be able to see many people in one distribution.

Benefits of Live Streaming on Zoom

You can get the following benefits by live streaming your Zoom meeting.

• Many people can watch the meeting without worrying about the number of participants in the Zoom meeting
• Record immediately as an archive on YouTube or Facebook
• No encoding work required, ready to deliver

Live streaming with Zoom requires a paid license contract

To live stream with Zoom, you need to switch to a paid license. Please note that you cannot use it with a free license.

However, the side watching the Zoom live distribution does not have to be a paid license.

By the way, Zoom has a function that is perfect for web seminars, online salons, product introductions, service launches, company briefings, etc. We recommend it.

This also requires a paid license agreement, but it is very convenient, so it is better to use it according to the usage scene.

Differences between Live Zoom Meetings and Zoom Webinars

There is no difference between live streaming of Zoom meetings and Zoom webinars in that they are both delivered on time, but they are used differently.

Many-to-many usage where a Zoom meeting shares the screen with all participants and many people discuss and exchange opinions.

On the other hand, in Zoom webinars, the host or panelist mainly speaks, and the participants mainly watch. In other words, webinars can be used one-to-many or few-to-many.

In a webinar, participants are basically just watching, so if they want to express their opinion or show a reaction, they will use the “raise your hand” function, Q&A, chat, and answers to surveys.

Webinars are recommended if you want to proceed with seminars and online salons without trouble

When live streaming using Zoom Meeting, many screens are displayed and it is difficult to understand who is the main person, and it is difficult to control the participants such as muting or taking them out of the room.

For example, if you want to show how a few people are talking lively, live streaming via Zoom meeting may be sufficient, but if a company or organization is doing branding while talking about products and services. If so, you should choose the Zoom webinar.
