Host Live Events with Zoom & Vimeo for 10,000 Attendees

Using Dryfta Virtual Event Toolkit, events organizers can setup live events with live Q&A session for up to 10,000 attendees. To enable livestream and Q&A for such a large audience, we use a combination of Vimeo Livestream and Zoom.

A Zoom meeting is used by speakers to present the session and Vimeo is used to livestream that Zoom meeting to the participants watching live on Dryfta. When participants need to ask questions, they need to join the same Zoom meeting, where speakers are presenting, to ask questions.
