Automated Webinars
You can create future dated webinars that enable you to attach a replay to the webinar page instead of hosting live. The replay will automatically start playing at the date and time you have set for the webinar.
To do this, you will first need to Create a future dated webinar and a Landing Page to promote the webinar. Once you have created the webinar and landing page, Link the Landing Page to the webinar. Next Pre-record and attach a recording to the webinar page. Ensure, that you have not invited any attendees before you have created the recording that you wish to attach to the webinar page.
The autoplay feature will work for both webinars recorded on the platform and for videos that are uploaded and selected from the Video Library tab.
If you wish to create a recording with an Uploaded Presentation and/or Play an injected video during the webinar you record, set it up before you visit the Private Rehearsal area and start the broadcast for your webinar recording.
