Webex Meeting
We recommend a standard Webex Meeting for groups that are sharing content and all having a conversation together. Webex Meetings have a breakout room option.
Webex Event
Webex Events are best for larger virtual events that involve a host or group of panelists presenting information or discussing together, but the average participant is just a viewer. You can enable and configure chat and Q&A features as you would like depending on your event, but your regular participants are typically not using cameras and microphones in this type of event.

You can lock your personal room mid-meeting which enables a waiting room feature, allowing you to bring people in individually.
