Trouble with Your Online Webinars? Let’s get you sorted.
Watching a webinar
Why is my webinar not opening?
If you’re having trouble accessing the webinar, don’t worry! There could be a few reasons why this is happening. Here are some things you can try:
- Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure that your device is connected to the internet. If you’re using a company network or VPN, it might disrupt your connection. It’s usually better to use your own WiFi or internet connection at home. If you’re at work, you might want to switch to using your mobile phone for internet access.
- Refresh the Page: Sometimes, simply refreshing the page can solve the issue. You can do this by clicking the ‘refresh arrow’ in your browser to reload the content.
- Try Another Browser: If refreshing doesn’t work, try using a different web browser such as Chrome or Safari to join the webinar. Sometimes, certain browsers work better than others.
- Update Your Browser: Make sure that your browser is up to date. Older browsers might not work well with newer technology. If possible, try using a newer device like your smartphone, as it may provide a smoother experience.
By trying out these steps, you should hopefully be able to access the webinar without any problems.
How can I watch a live webinar?
Click on the link you’ve received. If you don’t have an account with OnlineWebinar yet, please create one. Once you’ve done that, you should see the webinar in the “my webinar schedule” section.
How can I watch an on-demand webinar?
To watch the webinar, start by opening the link sent to you in your email. Then, click on ‘watch webinar’ and log in if you’re asked to. Just follow the steps you see on the screen. If you didn’t receive a link but know who’s hosting the webinar, simply go to “my.onlinewebinar.com” and log in there.
The webinar keeps loading and does not start, what can I do?
It could be probably due to the speed of your Internt. Click here to go to a test page where you can check the speed of your internet. If the test shows that the internet speed is too low, you might want to switch to a different internet connection.
I have an account, but I can’t log-in, and I didn’t receive the reset password link.
If you are certain that you have an account with OnlineWebinar.com, the e-mail you are missing is likely to be in your SPAM folder.

How do I unsubscribe from a webinar?

The link will be valid for 24 hours. After 24 hours, you will need to verify your account on the profile page.
Audio/Video
What should I do if my screen is faltering?
If you’re having trouble watching the webinar and the video is breaking up, check your internet connection speed. Consider switching to a mobile internet connection if you’re using WiFi, or switch to a WiFi/cable connection if you’re on your mobile.
What should I do if my sound falters?
If you’re having trouble with the sound, however, it might be because of your internet connection. Try using a different connection, like your mobile data. Not having enough bandwith to watch the webinar without interuptions is most likely the way to go.
What should I do if my screen freezes?
If you’re having trouble, try refreshing the page in your browser first. This often fixes the issue. If that doesn’t work, you might want to try opening the page in a different browser. We recommend using Google Chrome or Firefox for the best experience.
What should I do if I hear an echo?
The most common reason to have an echo in a webinar, is that you have two browser windows/tabs open, with the same webinar.
Close all unnecessary tabs/windows. If you are not sure, close your browser completly, and click again on the link in the email you received.
What should I do if part of my screen/webinar is missing / not showing?
If you can only see a part of the webinar screen, it’s likely because your browser window is zoomed in. You can reset your browser window in the settings of your browser, or try and press CTRL+0 to fix the zoom level of your browser.
