Demio vs Zoom Workplace: common questions

- No. Zoom Workplace provides meetings and collaboration tools. Hosting Zoom Webinars requires a webinar license on most Workplace plans; Zoom lists webinars among its Enterprise plan features.
- Which should I choose for marketing webinars?

- Is there a free plan?
