8 Best Webinar Platforms for Education

There are three key considerations for educators when comparing webinar software systems:

1. How you plan to run your classes. Will you host every class live, or prepare recordings you can reuse from session to session, semester to semester? Are you only delivering material once, or do you need to offer content on a recurring schedule or on demand? Are you looking to combine multiple webinars into a structured course?

Many educators prefer to prepare recordings that they can reuse because classes and courses are, by nature, repeated. Educators can develop and perfect their curriculum and deliver a consistent learning experience to all students. That’s why automation often works best for educators — they can prepare lessons ahead of time yet still interact directly with students via chat as they digest the material.

2. Interactivity during classes. How should students engage with the material? What tools do you need for chat, Q&A, polls, or more personalized 1:1 guidance?

3. Where students are located. Are all students on the same campus or in the same region, or are they spread across the country — or even the globe?

Only once you understand these factors can you effectively compare webinar platforms and identify the right fit for your teaching model.

To help simplify the process, we’ve compiled a list of top-rated webinar platforms that tend to work particularly well for educators, including both live and automated options.

1. eWebinar

Most flexible automated webinar software for online learning experiences

eWebinar is one of the most top-rated automated webinar solutions because our system lets users create pre-recorded presentations that feel just as engaging and interactive as live sessions.

We offer the most flexible scheduling options so you can run webinars on autopilot, and the largest gallery of interactivity tools, including a unique chat, to engage audiences through the entire webinar experience and continue conversations after webinars end.

This way, educators can record their lessons once — they don’t have to hassle with presenting the same lesson over and over, or stress about putting on a perfect presentation every time — without losing any of the engagement of a live webinar.

Educators especially love us because we offer tools to create both standalone lessons and comprehensive webinar courses. Plus, as they create courses, our Webinar Series tool gives educators complete control over the learning experience. They can choose how students move through the course, set requirements to advance between lessons, chat with students as they learn, and monitor everybody’s progress. And as of this writing, we’re the only webinar software provider to offer this feature.

In the following sections, we’ll walk through our core webinar tools and show you how they work — but you can also explore eWebinar further with a 14-day free trial or by tuning into our demo below.

Our user-friendly webinar builder

Our Webinar Builder makes it a piece of cake to turn recordings into engaging, automated educational webinars, and we’ve built a simple workflow that walks you through each step so there’s zero guesswork. Here’s how it works:

1. You can start with a template or build your webinar from scratch. Templates come with pre-defined goals, suggested interactions, and pre-built registration pages to guide and streamline the creation process.

2. Next, you’ll upload your recording. You can upload files from your device, import videos from Zoom or Descript, or add URLs from video-hosting sites.

3. Then, give your webinar a clear, catchy name and choose the language for it.

4. Next, you’ll specify how often it plays — as a one-time event, a recurring webinar, or available on demand. Note: Later, you can combine a recurring schedule with on-demand viewing, so students can sign up for a time slot or watch at their convenience.

5. If you're not working from a template with a built-in goal, you'll be asked to choose a goal for your webinar, such as completing a specific action or setting up a 1:1 meeting with you.

6. Finally, you’ll add brand elements like logos and custom colors. These will appear in webinar rooms, on registration pages, and throughout webinar experiences. You only have to import these once, and then our system stores them for all your other webinars.

Once you create your webinar, you can begin adding interactions.

Interactivity tools & asynchronous chat

As mentioned above, our system has the largest gallery of interactive features, so you can engage with students in a variety of ways. Our system offers polls, quizzes, Q&As, feedback requests, tips, action items, handouts, and more — check them out below:

We also provide AI-powered interactions — our system will review your recording to understand what it covers and the webinar's goal, then suggest interactions for you to place within experiences. Suggested interactions include pre-written copy and tips on where to place interactions so you know exactly how to engage your audiences.

You can place as many interactions as you like, quickly and easily, because our interactions editor is super user-friendly. You simply go to the moment in the video where you want an interaction to appear, select the interaction you wish to add, fill in the copy, and hit Save. You can preview interactions as you go, so you know they display exactly where you want them to.

Our chat is arguably the most convenient interactivity tool of all.

Our system lets instructors chat with students at any time before or after webinars — if they’re available to send real-time replies, they can get back to students immediately; if not, they can respond later, and chats are sent to students' email addresses where they can continue the conversation.

eWebinar saves all chats in one convenient hub, so moderators can see which chats have received a reply and which are still waiting, and make sure they get back to everyone.

This chat function is what really lets educators automate webinars and free themselves from round-the-clock hosting. They don’t need to be available every moment students are tuning into content, but students still have a direct line to instructors to ask questions or get 1:1 assistance, and teachers can ensure no students are left hanging.

Flexible scheduling

Now, our flexible scheduling tools allow educators to provide students with a variety of options to tune in. Our system supports:

• One-time events
• Recurring schedules
• On-demand viewing
• Just-in-time viewing
• Webinar replays (where students can register for a replay link without having to attend a scheduled session first)

You can combine any of these viewing options so students can choose when they tune in. Our data shows the easier you make it for students to attend, the higher your attendance rate will be.

Our system also offers automatic time zone adjustments for scheduled sessions — this ensures that webinars run at convenient local times for all viewers. So, if you set webinars to run at 2 and 4 pm, they’ll run at 2 and 4 pm for everybody, regardless of where they’re located. This helps educators reach a wider audience without asking students to tune in at odd hours.

Webinar Series

Webinar Series is our tool for creating comprehensive, multi-webinar courses and maintaining control over the learning path. Here’s how it works:

• Choose your webinars and arrange them in whatever order best fits the learning experience.
  
  

• Set course requirements. You’ll specify whether students need to watch the lessons in order or can jump around, set minimum watch times per webinar, and then assign quizzes or action items for students to complete each lesson. You can even require students to achieve a particular grade on quizzes before they’ve successfully passed the lesson.
  
  

Our system lets you offer certifications to students upon completion of courses. You can integrate with Certify to offer more personalized certificates or link to sites where students can redeem gift cards or other incentives upon passing. In addition, elements such as a progress bar, warnings about half-completed webinars, and the promise of a certificate or other reward gamify the experience and encourage students to complete your course.

Our chat is available to students in the Webinar Series so they can message instructors anytime they have questions. Chat histories are saved in students’ personalized dashboards (more on these in a minute), where they can reference past conversations for a refresher.

Once students register for a course, they’re directed to their personalized dashboard — this acts as the home base for their learning experience. They can see all webinars in the course, access replays, review chats, monitor their progress, and receive completion certificates once they finish up.

You can also monitor students’ progress from eWebinar’s Universal Dashboard. You can view details on each registrant: how far along they are, if they drop off at any point, how they engage with webinars, and more.

The Universal Dashboard also provides cross-webinar analytics, individual webinar breakdowns, and a centralized chat management tool. This makes it easy to see how your course is performing as a whole, zoom in on specific lessons, and double-check that you’re responding to all student chats.

Each webinar series also gets its own dedicated dashboard.

Registration page builders & widgets

eWebinar includes convenient registration page builders to streamline the process and help you design high-quality, professional landing pages. An AI assistant will even write your registration page copy for you based on a transcript of your class.

Note: Registration pages for the Webinar Series include all the webinars in your course, so students only need to register once to access all lessons.

Our system also includes a variety of registration widgets you can add to other sites — like online learning portals — so you can make it possible for students to join your lessons from a lot of different places. You can also enroll students automatically yourself by importing their contact information via Zapier; our system automatically sends them a registration confirmation so they can join webinars.

You can also automate reminders so students never forget to join a session. Our system comes with pre-written reminder emails (you can customize the copy any way you like) that you can schedule for one day or a couple of hours before webinars start.

Analytics dashboards & heatmaps

Our system provides detailed analytics dashboards to understand how your lessons resonate with audiences. You can review:

• Registration rates
• Attendance rates
• Registration vs. attendance rates
• Audience engagement rates — including average watch times, how many stayed til the end of webinars, and how many times students interacted with webinars
• Completion rates — how many students completed your lesson based on the criteria you define (e.g. minimum watch time, quiz scores, etc.)
• Conversion rates — how many students completed the goal you set when creating webinars
• How users joined webinars — if they watched on-demand, registered for a session, or viewed a replay link

We also take things a step further here with webinar heatmaps so you can see exactly where and how students engaged with lessons. You can see when they joined or left webinars, liked or reacted to content, sent chats, or responded to interactions.

You can also dig into individual interaction details to see how students replied — for example, if you added polls or quizzes to your webinar, you could see how many students engaged and their responses.

All of this lets you know just how effective your lessons are and where you can continuously improve. For example, if you notice many questions about a specific topic, you can elaborate there to answer common questions or add handouts during webinars so students can read more. Or, if you see students are consistently dropping off at a point, you can dig in to understand where you’re losing them. You have the actual data to make informed decisions when fine-tuning webinars, rather than blindly tweaking lessons and hoping for the best.

eWebinar packages + pricing

We offer a 14-day free trial so you can give our platform a test run before committing. After the trial ends, you can opt into one of our packages.

Our plans are based on the number of webinars you run and the number of attendee seats:

• Level 1 ($99/month) supports one active webinar and 3k registrants per month
• Level 2 ($199/month) supports five active webinars and 6k registrants per month
• Level 3 ($299/month) supports 15 active webinars and 12k registrants per month

You can also build upon packages to accommodate larger classrooms — you can add increments of 1k attendees for $49/month.

2. EdisonOS

EdisonOS is not a specific webinar software; instead, it’s an all-in-one learning management system with a variety of tools to offer interactive, engaging experiences. It lets educators host both live and on-demand classes, create realistic mock tests and assessments, and manage course content from a single platform. It's particularly popular with test prep companies and tutoring businesses, but it also works well for universities, online course creators, and anyone running structured educational programs.

Focusing on its webinar features — this platform offers a built-in Zoom integration for instructors to host live classes with real-time discussions and Q&A sessions. Alternatively, instructors can upload pre-recorded content for students to access on their own schedule.

Beyond the live and on-demand class features, EdisonOS provides tools to build comprehensive courses, track student progress through detailed analytics dashboards, and create an online community via discussion forums and chat.

The platform is designed to be user-friendly, even for non-technical educators, with a drag-and-drop content builder and over 50 interactive content options, such as quizzes, flashcards, and multimedia presentations.

EdisonOS does not yet have online reviews, but you can read more about it on Capterra.

Notable features for educators

• Live class hosting via Zoom integration
• Interactive whiteboards for live sessions
• Pre-recorded video content with interactive elements
• Over 50 interactivity tools options — flashcards, quizzes, games, matching exercises, multimedia presentations
• Mock test and assessment builder with 5100+ premade test questions
• Discussion forums for student-instructor engagement
• Custom learning paths & course management tools
• e-Commerce capabilities for selling courses and coaching services
• Email marketing tools
• Custom branding options — white labeling, custom domains, website builder
• API and WebHooks for custom integrations
• Analytics dashboards to track student progress & performance
• Mobile apps for iOS & Android

Pricing

EdisonOS offers three plans and custom enterprise packages.

• The Starter plan ($999 every 90 days + $549 one-time setup fee) supports 2 admins, grants access to 5,100+ pre-made test questions, and includes 100 test attempts. You also pay $9.99 per test in this plan.

• The Growth plan ($2,499 every 180 days + $549 one-time setup fee) supports 3 admins, grants access to 5,100+ pre-made test questions, and includes 360 test attempts. In this plan, you pay $6.95 per test.

• The Scale plan ($4,999 per year + $549 one-time setup fee) supports 5 admins, grants access to 5,100+ pre-made test questions, and includes 1,000 test attempts. This plan brings the cost per test to $4.99.

Enterprise plans support unlimited admins, custom reports, and deep customizations via web development tools, API, and WebHooks. These plans also include a dedicated account manager to assist with onboarding and support your success on the platform. You must contact EdisonOS for a custom quote if interested in this plan.

3. WebinarGeek

WebinarGeek is a popular webinar platform that emphasizes ease of use and quick setup. The platform is particularly popular with educators because it doesn't require any downloads for students or instructors — everything runs in the browser.

WebinarGeek supports live, automated, on-demand, and hybrid webinars, so educators can choose how they want to deliver content — whether that's real-time classes, pre-recorded lessons that feel live, or a mix of both.

• During live sessions, hosts can stream in HD, share their screen, show slides, or play videos.

• For educators who want to run recurring classes or make content available on demand, WebinarGeek's automated webinars let you pre-record sessions, schedule them to broadcast at specific times, or offer just-in-time viewing.

WebinarGeek also includes interactive tools like polls, quizzes, Q&A, and chat to keep students engaged during sessions. (The main downside here is that chat only works as webinars play — teachers can’t get back to students after.)

Beyond the core webinar features, WebinarGeek offers custom branding options, automated email reminders, analytics dashboards, and integrations with over 6k tools, including CRMs, email platforms, and learning management systems.

It’s also worth noting that the platform is GDPR-compliant, which is essential for EU-based or global educational institutions that manage student information.

Check out more WebinarGeek reviews here.

Notable features for educators

• Live, automated, on-demand, and hybrid webinar hosting
• HD video streaming (browser-based, no downloads needed)
• Automated replays and session recordings

• The Enterprise plan unlocks full feature access and supports up to 5k attendees. Plans start at $410/month and require custom quotes as you upgrade.

4. LiveWebinar

LiveWebinar’s platform supports live, automated, on-demand, and hybrid webinars, and it's designed to handle everything from small-group sessions to large-scale lectures with up to 1k attendees (depending on your plan).

One standout feature for educators is the variety of classroom modes offered by LiveWebinar. You can use:

• Classroom mode to focus attention on the presenter (students only see and hear the instructor, not each other).
• 1:1 mode for private discussions with individual students during class.
• Standard modes for more collaborative sessions.

The platform also includes breakout rooms, which let you split students into smaller groups for team projects, discussions, or brainstorming activities.

LiveWebinar includes a variety of interactive tools to make online classes more engaging — interactive whiteboards for explaining complex concepts, Q&A, polls, quizzes for knowledge checks, screen sharing, and live chat. You can also offer personalized certificates to students who complete courses or webinars.

The platform also supports automated email reminders and follow-ups, and provides detailed analytics dashboards to track attendance and engagement. Educators can also record sessions and make them available later for absent students to review.

LiveWebinar also offers API access for custom integrations, multi-language support, and security features like password protection, waiting rooms, and role-based access controls.

And as with WebinarGeek above, everything runs in the browser — no downloads required for students or instructors. However, mobile apps are available for iOS and Android.

LiveWebinar also offers custom enterprise plans.

5. EasyWebinar

EasyWebinar is a webinar platform that's designed for users who want to run both live and automated webinars. It's particularly popular with course creators, coaches, and businesses focused on delivering training sessions, but it also works well for educators who need a flexible solution for online classes.

For live sessions, EasyWebinar offers HD live streaming, multi-presenter support (up to 4 presenters), screen sharing, breakout rooms, and interactive tools like live chat, reactions, live polls, and Q&A. You can also enable attendee participation, allowing students to use their mics and cameras to interact with instructors.

For automated webinars, the platform includes interactive elements like polls, CTAs, and chat, recurring and "just-in-time" scheduling, and automatic time zone adjustments so sessions run at convenient local times for all students. Chat isn’t available after webinars end, but EasyWebinar includes a contact box for students to get in touch with instructors when they’re not available to respond in real-time — they can leave a message and get an answer later.

One benefit users consistently praise with EasyWebinar is the ability to convert live webinars into automated ones — they can run a session once and then reuse it on a recurring schedule, which is helpful for educators teaching repeated lessons or courses.

The platform also integrates with LMS, CRM, and marketing software, and provides comprehensive analytics dashboards to track attendance, engagement, and conversion rates.

See more EasyWebinar reviews here.

Notable features for educators

• Live, automated, and on-demand webinar hosting
• Automatic replays and session recordings
• Engagement tools — public and private chat, emoji reactions, Q&A, polls, special offers, clickable links, CTAs, monetization tools like "Buy Now" buttons, and attendee participation with mic and camera controls
• Breakout rooms for smaller group discussions within webinars
• Contact box for automated webinars, allowing attendees to leave messages
• Scheduling tools, including one-time, recurring, just-in-time, or on-demand webinars, plus automatic time zone adjustment
• Branding customization options
• Scheduled email reminders and customizable follow-up sequences
• Comprehensive analytics dashboards
• Integrations with LMS, CRM, marketing software, and more
• Mobile-friendly attendee experience

The Live Webinar plan costs between $39 and $299 per month.

6. Demio

Demio is a simple, straightforward webinar software that supports both live and automated webinars. They typically advertise their solution to marketers, but many educators also like Demio for its flexibility and ease of use.

For live webinars, Demio offers interactive tools like public and private chat, Q&A, polls, handouts, and CTAs, screen sharing, and the ability to bring attendees "to the stage" so students can participate during sessions.

For automated webinars, Demio supports both recurring and on-demand sessions and offers many of the same interactivity tools as for live webinars (polls, handouts, CTAs, chat).

As we’ve mentioned with many of the names above, Demio’s chat isn’t super flexible. Instructors can’t message students after webinars end, and chat isn’t available for on-demand sessions — students watching on-demand have to leave messages for instructors to reply later.

Demio offers robust analytics to measure webinar effectiveness. Instructors can see attendance rates, attendee focus (how engaged students were during sessions), average watch times, and engagement rates.

The platform also offers automated email reminders, integrations with popular marketing and CRM tools (including HubSpot, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Zapier, etc.), and mobile apps for iOS and Android.

Find more Demio reviews here.

Notable features for educators

• Live, automated, and on-demand webinars
• Replays and recordings
• Interactions — chat (public/private), Q&A, polls, offers, links, CTAs, and attendee participation (where they can use mics and cameras to interact with webinar moderators)
• Scheduling tools (single or recurring events, time zone adjustments)
• Customization options and branding tools
• Automated email reminders
• Analytics dashboards
• Integrations with marketing and CRM software
• Mobile apps (for iOS and Android)

Pricing

Demio offers a 14-day free trial and three packages (differentiated mainly by attendee room capacities):

• The Starter plan ($63/month) supports a single host and 50 attendees. This plan is recommended for small businesses and solo entrepreneurs.

• The Growth plan supports multiple hosts and up to 3k attendees. Packages range from $117 to $855 per host per month. This is the most popular package.

• The Premium plan also supports multiple hosts and up to 3k attendees, and comes with dedicated account support. Demio doesn’t reveal all pricing info here, but we can see this plan starts at $196 per host per month.

7. BigMarker

BigMarker stands out from other webinar platforms because it's designed as an end-to-end solution for running webinars and building an ongoing content library. So instead of just hosting one-off webinars, BigMarker lets you create a channel (similar to a YouTube channel) to store all your webinars and make content available on demand. This appeals to educators who want to create a long-term hub for their classes rather than treating each session as a standalone event.

The platform supports live and automated webinars, as well as "Summits and Series" — where instructors can create multi-webinar courses that let students register once and access all webinars in the series — which is particularly useful for educators running more comprehensive learning experiences.

But as far as engagement tools go, BigMarker’s offerings are pretty standard — chat, polls, Q&A (with upvoting so popular questions rise to the top), handouts, surveys, and file sharing.

BigMarker often appeals to larger teams, like universities with bigger budgets, because it touts some enterprise-level features and can be pretty expensive. It offers:

• Flexible live hosting where hosts can have up to 64 people on video at once. Live sessions also include breakout rooms for group discussions and roundtables for more collaborative sessions.

• Multi-language support for instructors reaching global audiences.

• Security features like SOC 2 Type 2 certification, TLS encryption, GDPR compliance, and role-based permissions.

The platform also provides detailed analytics dashboards to report on attendance, engagement, and conversion rates.

• Scheduling — one-time, recurring, just-in-time, on-demand

• Security features — SOC 2 Type 2 certification, TLS encryption, GDPR-compliance, role-based permissions

Pricing

BigMarker offers a variety of plans and packages under the Webcast, Event Packages, and Media Hub umbrellas. All pricing requires a custom quote.

8. Zoom Webinars

The last name on our list, Zoom Webinars, is a name most already know. Zoom offers one of the most popular video conferencing tools around, but has also expanded its offerings to include webinar software. The main appeal of Zoom Webinars for educators is familiarity — if you're already using Zoom Meetings for classes or office hours, Zoom Webinars integrates with the same ecosystem and has a similar interface.

Zoom Webinars is designed specifically for larger, more formal live webinars, as it supports audiences ranging from 100 to 5k (or even 10k+ depending on your plan). Zoom also offers multi-presenter support with video and screen sharing, recording and replay capabilities, and engagement tools like breakout rooms, chat, Q&A, polls, hand raising, and reactions for live webinars.

It also includes Simulive (its version of automated webinars). This lets educators pre-record lessons and schedule them to play at specific times. Instructors can then join these sessions to answer questions via chat or Q&A. This can work for educators who want to reuse recorded lectures while still being available for student interaction.

Though it's worth noting that you need Zoom Webinars Plus (or higher) to access Simulive, and the feature is more limited than dedicated automated webinar platforms.

Zoom Webinars also offers integrations with CRM and marketing platforms (via Zapier), security features like waiting rooms, passcodes and encryption, multi-language support, closed captioning, and mobile apps for iOS and Android.

Find more Zoom Webinar reviews here.

Notable features for educators

• Live webinars and Simulive (pre-recorded content broadcast at scheduled times with live host participation)
• Multi-presenter support with video and screen sharing
• Recording and replay capabilities
• Engagement tools — chat, Q&A, polls, hand raising, reactions
• Breakout rooms for smaller group discussions
• Custom branding for registration pages and emails
• Automated email reminders for registrants
• Analytics dashboard tracking registrations, attendance, and poll engagement
• Integrations with CRM and marketing platforms via Zapier
• Security features — waiting rooms, passcodes, encryption
• Mobile apps for iOS and Android
• Multi-language support and closed captioning

Pricing

Zoom offers three packages: Webinars, Webinars Plus, and Events. You need to opt for Webinars Plus for access to Simulive sessions.

• The Zoom Webinars plan ranges from $89 to $2,490 per month and supports up to 5,000 attendees. You can choose between a monthly and an annual subscription here.

• The Zoom Webinars Plus plan starts at $99/month for 100 attendees. To accommodate more viewers, you have to opt for an annual plan. These range from $82.50 to $1,665.83 per month and support 100 to 3,000 attendees. They also provide options to pay per attendee.

• The Zoom Events plan starts at $149/month for 100 attendees. As with Webinars Plus above, you just choose an annual plan to unlock more seats. Annual plans range from $124.17 to $2,207.50 and support 100 to 3,000 attendees. They also offer a pay-per-attendee option here.

Getting Started in Your Best Webinar Software

At the end of the day, the right webinar platform for you really depends on your specific requirements — how you plan to run classes, how students need to engage with material, and where your students are located.

But in our experience, we’ve found the reality for most educators is that they’re delivering the same curriculum on repeat — whether they’re teaching the same lessons multiple times a week or every new semester. Which is why automating webinars is often their best course of action.

That's where eWebinar shines. We're the most top-rated automated webinar software (with a glowing 4.9-star rating) because we give educators the flexibility to run webinars on any schedule, the most extensive gallery of interactions to keep students engaged, and a unique asynchronous chat that frees them from having to sit in on every single lesson. This way, instructors can make lessons available to students 24/7 while still providing the 1:1 engagement they need to succeed.

See how eWebinar can save you countless hours when building and delivering your online curriculum by starting a 14-day free trial. You can also watch our demo below for a sneak peek of eWebinar before starting.
