Enabling Webinar Session Branding

If enabled by an account owner or admin, hosts can use Webinar Session Branding to have full control over their webinar’s appearance, including how the panelists are displayed to attendees. Hosts can customize what attendees see by uploading a wallpaper behind the video tiles, setting the virtual background for all panelists, and providing digital name tags for panelists

Webinar Session Branding includes the following customizations:

• Wallpaper image: Hosts can make a session unique by uploading a branded wallpaper that is displayed in all views behind the video tiles and shared content.
• Shared Virtual Backgrounds: Hosts can automatically set a common virtual background for all panelists when they join the session.
• Name Tags: Hosts can add name tags that are customizable to meet your brand colors. Name tags are automatically applied when panelists join and are displayed while their video is on.

Prerequisites for enabling or disabling Webinar Session Branding

• Paid account with a Zoom Webinars or Zoom Events license

Notes:

• Users are not required to have a Zoom Events license to use this feature in regular webinars.
• Panelists who join from a version older than the minimum client version will not see the assigned virtual background or name tag, and will not be able to see the wallpaper.
• Attendees who join from a version older than the minimum client version will not be able to see the wallpaper or name tags. They, however, will see any virtual backgrounds set by panelists.
