Hello, Is it possible to **start** a webinar using the [Web Client](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/214629443-Zoom-Web-Client)? The documentation clearly states it’s possible to _join_ a webinar as a participant, but it’s not really clear whether it’s possible to start a webinar as host. Thanks! ---

Hi @gsnewmark, Right now it’s not possible to start a Webinar using the Web Client but we do have it on the roadmap to include this feature within a release coming very soon. [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/stay-up-to-date/upcoming-changes/web-sdk](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/stay-up-to-date/upcoming-changes/web-sdk) Thanks ---

Great! But I was asking about the Web **Client** , not the **SDK** 🙂 Sorry for the confusion. ---

No worries. They both would support the same functionality and would release the webinar start feature at the same time. ---

Hey @maxmuller2199, We mean via the [Web SDK](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web). Thanks, Tommy
