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.

Setting the replay availability for your webinar

Offering the replay

The option to offer the replay to viewers is turned on by default when creating a new webinar. You can click on the switch to stop offering the replay to your subscribers. You can always change this after the broadcast for each individual webinar in the replay settings.
