Run a webinar

A webinar is the other live format. Instead of everybody on camera, you and your presenters broadcast, and the audience watches, chats, and raises a hand if they want to speak.

What is different from a room

• The audience is not on camera, so a large one does not turn into a wall of faces.

• People register rather than just turning up, and everybody who registers can be added to an audience, so your automations can follow up.

• You can promote somebody to the stage when they raise a hand, and take them back off it.

• There is a public watch link, so a webinar can be the thing you advertise.

What it costs

Growth includes 150 viewer hours a period. Forty people watching for thirty minutes uses twenty of them. Past that, a webinar stops unless you have turned overage on in Settings and set a spend cap, and the presenters count against the live participant allowance separately.

Afterwards

Attendance is measured: how many watched, how long a typical person stayed, and everybody's watching time added up. The recording can be published for replay, and added straight into a course module if the session was really a lesson.
