webinar

Virtual live lecture

A webinar is a seminar conducted over the internet, typically featuring a presenter or panel speaking to a remote audience who can watch, listen, and sometimes submit questions.

The format became ubiquitous during the COVID-19 pandemic: I have three webinars scheduled this week.

Most webinars are business or educational presentations, often recorded for later viewing.
