This means you can do everything yourself. Set up your account, set a date for your webinar, invite your audience, create your fully interactive webinar (add slides, polls and other CTA’s to keep engagement high and get the rich data flowing) broadcast and answer all questions with the live chat.

A webinar is a dynamic live seminar streamed online, offering various interactive features to engage your target audience. These include a live chat for questions, enticing call-to-action buttons, and surveys and polls to assess your viewers’ opinions.

A webcast is a live stream of an event, for example a live press conference. A webinar is an interactive, data-driven online broadcast. So the big difference is the interaction that is possible in a webinar: participants can react to your information and participate.

A webinar can be used for many purposes:

• in- and external communication
• marketing
• lead generation
• thought leadership
• training / e-learning
• product presentations

We have the perfect environment setup for you. All you need to do, is add your personal identity features to our webinar platform. You can add a profile image, a specific image per webinar, and you can provide the specifics to a webinar just as you see fit.

Zoom and Teams are first and foremost tools that you use for meetings. And a meeting is in general a format where people that attend want to share their voice with the other attendees. Important in a meeting is that you can see and directly interact with the other people in the meeting. These tools are ideal to have conversations and/or a discussion.

A webinar is a whole different animal. A webinar is used when you need a format to present a story. This can be straight forward telling your thing, or this can be done in an interactive way. In a format like this, you don’t want to stare at black boxes or bored faces in your screen. And of course the fact that you can generate first party data with a webinar also helps.

The best time for a webinar depends entirely on your target audience and the type of webinar. For example, are there many men in the target audience? Then it’s not convenient to plan the webinar at the same time as a Champions League game. Does your target audience usually work part-time? If so, don’t plan the webinar on Wednesdays or Fridays. In general, we see that Tuesdays and Thursdays are preferred by many people. Monday is often the start of the week, and less people are present on Wednesdays and Fridays.

For now you can use the share ink generate when a webinar time and date has been set. In the tool you can find the share link in the menu at the share button. Copy the link and share the invite with your desired audience.

For now you can do this yourself. You can see who has accepted the invite and registered for your webinar. If you miss people form your mailing list or other, you can send out the invite as often as you want.

However this proces will become much easier when we will launch our email tool.

A dry run, or dress rehearsal, is always wise: whether you are giving a webinar for the first time or for the tenth time. If you’re doing it for the first time, it’s nice to run through the program. Is it for the tenth time? Then it’s also good to make arrangements in advance, for example when you switch to different items during the program.

This depends on the target audience. We always advise to use as many channels as possible and to repeat the message sufficiently. Think of newsletters, your own website, social media or (paid) display and link building campaigns.

A working internet connection and a browser are sufficient. Whether that browser is on a tablet, PC or phone – the platform works on any device, so participants can watch the webinar from anywhere in the world.

During the webinar you can interact in different ways:

• live chat
• poll questions
• survey
• calls to action

You can ask viewers to respond in different ways: think of polls and surveys. You can set them up yourself.

The live chat is an excellent feature, however if you do the presentation, it scan be difficult to focus on 2 things at once. That is why we suggest you use moderator

By moderator we mean the person who answers the questions in the chat. The moderators answers the questions on their own or forward them to the presenter in the studio. The moderator can work from home and does not need to be present in the studio. The moderator is always someone from your own organization.

During desktop sharing, the speaker in the studio shares his computer screen with the participants. The speaker is still visible in the picture. Desktop sharing can be useful, for example, when the speaker wants to show how he goes through an exact number of steps in a complex digital process.
