eWebinar Quick Start Checklist

If you have a presentation that's ready to automate, here is your “to do”.

To fully learn how to use this checklist, complete Your eWebinar Product Onboarding.

Step 1: Prepare your video

For this step, choose one of the following two paths:
Use an existing recording (Recommended)

◻ Edit out the "noise"

"Noise" is anything that only makes sense in a live session: welcoming people as they join, waiting for latecomers, checking audio, small talk, or any moment the presentation goes off track. Edit it all out, if you can.

Record something new
(Ideally, something you know well)

Adapt your script for automation
Record your presentation
  • Use your preferred tool or one we recommend.
  • Get it done. You can swap out the video later.

Step 2: Create and configure your eWebinar

Login to eWebinar → Click "Create new" → Upload your video

(Don't have a video? Paste in this example video link: https://bit.ly/ewebinar-onboarding.)

◻ Configure the Schedule and Chat using our Setup Guide

(When in doubt, use the Recommended Default.)

On the Interactions tab:

◻ Edit, move, or delete the existing interactions

◻ Add a handful of new interactions

Enable an intro with Housekeeping, if it's not already included in your script

(Existing recording? Check out the intros for an "interactive replay".)

Step 3: Publish and share it ←This is the goal! 🎯

◻ Publish your eWebinar

◻ Share the landing page link with a small group (email is easiest)

◻ Share it with a few more groups (real audiences), if you can
