Zoho's webinar software allows you to create an event that captures the information you need from your target audience.

-
Lead generation

Advanced settings
Using the advanced settings, you can customize the registration process for webinars, such as the maximum number of registrants, allow registration only with an authorized domain, approve or block users from certain countries to register for the webinar, and so on.

Registration moderation
Zoho Webinar offers two registration moderation settings for scheduled webinars. In automatic approval mode, all webinar registrants are automatically approved to attend, but you still can cancel their registration if necessary. On the other hand, in manual approval mode, you have the control to allow or deny entry to each registrant based on your discretion.

View registration list

Approve or deny registration
