Zoom has a new product called Zoom Events.
It allows for ticket sales, event hub building, informal chat hosting, and more.
It's meant to expand the conferencing capabilities of the Zoom communications platform.
Zoom Events is not yet live, but it's coming soon, and it promises to be "an all-in-one platform that gives you the tools to create engaging virtual experiences that attendees will love." In short, it's hoping to make remote conferencing closer to its real-life counterpart than ever before.
Zoom Events will allow for ticket sales and registration for events, all customizable by those creating the gatherings as though they were renting out a real venue with limited seating. The new platform will also offer users a hub where they can list upcoming events to let people know what's coming next and when. And events will be shared to a public directory so that, just like a real event, passersby can discover them organically.
