  • Add and manage webinar panelists
  • Get and list meeting session types for scheduling the type of meeting
  • Get a registration form definition for a webinar
  • Add a webinar registrant

Webinars can be created, retrieved, updated, and deleted using the Meetings API. The following new attributes have been introduced for scheduling a webinar:

  • scheduledType – When set as an attribute in a POST request body, specifies either webinar or a regular meeting. Set the value of scheduledType attribute to webinar for scheduling a webinar, and to meeting for scheduling a regular meeting. This attribute is mandatory for scheduling a webinar.
  • enabledWebcastView – Set the value of enabledWebcastView attribute in a POST request body to true for scheduling a streaming mode for a webinar and to false for scheduling an interactive mode for a webinar. The default value for this attribute is false.
  • panelistPassword – When set as an attribute in a POST request body, specifies the password for panelists of Webinar. The password must conform to the site's password complexity settings as described in password management. If not specified, a random password conforming to the site's password rules is generated automatically.
  • phoneAndVideoSystemPanelistPassword – When returned as an attribute in a GET request, specifies the 8-digit numeric panelist password to join a webinar from audio and video devices.

Developers should note that a webinar cannot be updated to a regular meeting and vice-versa. Also, developers can get and list Meeting Session Types enabled for a given user for scheduling a meeting or webinar. In addition to that, the following attributes are not supported for a webinar:

  • recurrence
  • allowFirstUserToBeCoHost
  • allowAuthenticatedDevices
  • excludePassword
  • enableAutomaticLock
anchorAdding and managing panelists

Developers can use Meeting Invitees API to manage webinar panelists. For webinars, all the invitees will join as panelists. Panelists can also be added using the Create a Meeting API by specifying invitees in the request body. The following new boolean attribute needs to be enabled to mark an invitee as a panelist:

  • panelist – When set as an attribute in a POST request body, specifies whether an invitee is allowed to be a panelist for the webinar.
anchorRegistration
anchor

Developers can use the Create Meeting API to create and manage registration for a webinar, as well as enable/disable the auto-approval process for registrants by setting the autoAcceptRequest attribute value in the POST request body. In addition to that, the following APIs are available to manage registration:

  • Get the registration form definition for a webinar - Get a webinar's registration form to understand which fields are required for an attendee's registration.
  • Add a webinar registrant - Used for registering a new registrant for a webinar.
  • Get and list webinar registrants - Used for retrieving details of a webinar registrant with a specified registrant Id. Can also be used to retrieve a list of registrants for a webinar with a specified meeting Id.
  • Batch update the status of webinar registrants - A webinar's host or cohost can batch update the status of registrants.

The following roles can register an attendee via the API up to the capacity limit for a webinar:

  • The host of the webinar
  • The cohosts of the webinar
  • Any user of the same site
  • The administrator of the site where this webinar is hosted
  • Guests

The following roles can approve or reject a pending registrant for a webinar:

  • The host of the webinar
  • The cohosts of the webinar

The following roles can invite an attendee using the API up to the license capacity limit by the host license:

  • The host of the webinar
  • The cohosts of the webinar
  • Any user of the same site
  • The administrator of the site where this webinar is hosted

Developers should note that registration capacity has a maximum limit of 10K. There's no minimum limit, which means that a webinar can support any number of invitees or registrations fewer than 10K.
