What types of hybrid meetings events are there?
Webcast
A live speaker speaks in front of a large online audience with little interaction with the online audience – similar to a live TV show/streaming on a client’s website.
Webinars
Generally speaking, smaller online audiences and live speakers can interact with the audience through chat boxes/polling/Q&A/whiteboard etc.
Video Conferencing
Usually very small online participants so live participants can see and hear online participants.
How long does it take to plan?
The time frame for large webcasts/webinars is 4-6 weeks, and the time frame for smaller events like video conferencing is 1-2 weeks.

What's the difference between web and video conferencing solutions?
Both web and video conferencing solutions take advantage of the concept of multi-party communication and try to create a more engaging and productive experience. Web conferencing is great for playing a single speaker in front of a large audience, but if quality, reliability, and conversation are important to you, nothing beats a video conferencing solution.
