Zoombombing is a new form of trolling in which a participant uses Zoom’s screensharing feature to interrupt and disrupt meetings and classes.

To report any issues of Zoombombing, contact the USC Security Operations Incident Response team at security@usc.edu.

	Meeting	Webinar
Description	Zoom meetings are ideal for hosting more interactive sessions where you’ll want to have lots of audience participation or break your session into smaller groups.	– Think of webinars like a virtual lecture hall or auditorium. – Webinars are ideal for large audiences or events that are open to the public. – Typically, webinar attendees do not interact with one another. – Though Zoom provides options for you to get more social with your attendees, your average webinar has one or a few people speaking to an audience. – Attendees can engage in Q&A and participate in polls.
Best Used For	Small to large groups (2+ participants) for: – Team meetings – Working sessions – Training sessions – Educational lectures with high participation – Attendees are known and trusted	Large events and public broadcasts (50+ attendees) such as: – Town halls – Quarterly updates – Educational lectures -Attendees maybe unknown
