What to consider when choosing a webinar platform?

Online webinars shouldn’t be complicated to set up. With the right webinar platform, you can go live online without worrying about technical issues getting in the way. Choose software that's easy to set up and seamlessly lets you push your webinar live on any platform you choose. If you’re looking to repurpose your webinar, make sure you can record it in high-quality resolution. It’s best if your software comes with local recording so no internet issues ruin your recordings' quality.

Webinars are all about engagement and it’s worth choosing software that offers captivating audience engagement tools. If your speakers are located all over the world, you’ll want to use remote recording software that allows you to invite guests no matter where they are. Screen sharing is a feature you’ll want to easily display presentations and slides, but other extras you may want include automatic transcriptions, live editing, and the ability to turn your webinar into repurposed clips.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a webinar platform?

A webinar platform lets you host online seminars or virtual events. The word ‘webinar’ comes from combining the words web and seminar. While seminars traditionally happen in person, this is not always possible, and that is how webinars came about. Webinar platforms are specific online programs or tools that help you host these online seminars. They often come with live streaming, screen sharing, and other features designed to attract audiences and engage with attendees. Riverside is an example of a webinar platform that lets you live stream to social media, engage with your audience live and customize your webinar with your branding.

While you might feel like you need webinar training to get started, recording a webinar remotely isn’t so hard if you’re using the right software. Hosting a webinar should be simple and should generally include the following steps:

Step 1: Plan your event, set up your online hosting platform, and book relevant webinar speakers.
