How many contacts could be added to my mailing list? What is the cost and how many emails can be sent at a single time?
Contacts/leads can be added to your Zoho Campaigns account based on the subscription plan. Here’s the link to our pricing page.
You can choose either a monthly or yearly subscription and a subscriber- or email-based plan, depending on your requirements. There is also a pay-as-you-go plan for users who use Zoho Campaigns for two or three months in a year.
The subscriber-based plan is based on the number of contacts in your account. You can purchase the plan for a specific number of contacts and then send those contacts unlimited emails, set autoresponders, and use workflows. For example, if you choose a subscriber-based plan for 1000, you can store up to 1000 contacts and you can send unlimited emails to those 1000 contacts.

What’s the conserve bandwidth option in Zoho Meeting?
When the conserve bandwidth option is enabled for an attendee, screen sharing is optimized according to the user’s download speed. I.e. if the user’s download speed is low, fewer screen updates are sent. Similarly, for presenters, it optimizes according to the upload speed.

The Webinar organizer or co-organizer can allow other attendees to share their screen using “Make Presenter” option during the webinar. You can read more on this here.
