A replay is a recording of your live webinar. A recording of a live webinar is always created; you don’t have to do anything for it to happen.

After the webinar, you’ll always be able to watch the replay again at your own discretion. Participants can only view the replay if you make it available to them.

The recording starts when you begin the live webinar and it will stop the second you end the live webinar.

Please note! The interaction results shown to the viewer during the replay are made up of responses from replay viewers. These results are different from the live webinar.

Tip! Do you want all of your broadcasts to have a replay that expires several days after the live broadcast, but don't want to configure it all one by one? You can change the replay settings for all broadcasts you'll create in the future by editing the default replay settings. Keep in mind that the default replay settings aren't applied to broadcasts that already existed.
