A couple of points on use of Zoom for this sort of thing:
* Anybody can sign up for a free account which has full functionality (you
can share-screen to show powerpoint or whatever), but limits number of
participants to 100 and length to 40 min.
* Right sort of paid account (institutional or not) can remove either/both
of those limits ($200/yr = unlimited time, up to 300 participants)
* Hosts (regardless of account type) can assign 'co-host' privilege to any
other participant, and that other person can then share screen, etc.
freely.

Another option: You can use Zoom (including free version) to record a
presentation, and then share it as an .mpg (doesn't allow interaction, of
course).

Another option: *Google Meet *works very similarly to Zoom, and is free to
use as host for anyone with a google/gmail account (google meet conference
can include non-gmail emails).  I think it works at least as well as zoom -
may have slightly higher bandwidth demands...
