With an on demand webinar, you allow your viewers to watch the webinar at a time that best suits their schedule.

The viewer registers using their name and email, so you’ll know exactly who watched the on demand webinar at which moment. You can also configure interactions, so you’ll be able to get even more results from your on demand webinar.

There are two options to create an on demand webinar, which we’ll explain extensively below.

Release live webinar to on demand webinar

Convert live webinar to on demand webinar

If you want to use a live webinar recording, you can easily reuse your content and create an on demand version of it.

  1. Click on your live webinar.

  2. Choose 'Options' next to the broadcast you want to use > 'Create as on demand webinar' > 'Convert webinar'.

Using a live webinar to create an on demand webinar

A new webinar will be created. The video, registration page, interactions, presentation and video injections will be copied. Set the availability to the time period you’d like to allow people to view the on demand webinar.

The interactions and the slides you’ve used during your live webinar will be started at the same moment during the on demand webinar. You have the ability to change timestamps of interactions, and you can still schedule new interactions as well.

As soon as you click on 'Create as on demand webinar', you’ll be able to see an overview of the data that will be used.

You’ll have the option to use the registration link of your live webinar (the same link) here. When you no longer use the registration page of your live webinar, you can convert this registration link to your on demand webinar. There’s no need to share a new link in this case.

Please note! Your live webinar is no longer the destination for this registration link, because we’ll add ‘-old’ to the registration link URL string.

Importing an existing video
