Live webinars are, by default, always recorded. This recording begins when you start the webinar and stops when you end the webinar.
As soon as your live webinar ends, we’ll start to process the replay recording. This takes about 15 to 20 minutes on average. Processing the replay happens in the background and you can close your browser.
As soon as the replay is available, the button automatically changes from 'Processing replay' to 'Replay'.
Even when your replay isn't enabled for viewers, you can still watch the replay of your own webinar at any time and decide to make it available for viewers later on.
View replay
You, as the host, can always watch the replay after your webinar. Follow these steps:
Click on your webinar
Navigate to the broadcast you wish to watch the replay from.
Click on 'Replay' > 'View replay'.
A new screen will be opened where you can watch the replay.
The subscribers of your webinar can watch the recording in a number of different ways if you've made it available to them. For example, the 'View webinar' button in the confirmation email will automatically redirect to the replay after the live webinar has finished. You can also set up a replay email. This allows your registrations, viewers and/or non-viewers to watch the replay.
Disabling the recording
If you don't want your live webinar to be recorded, you can turn it off. Follow these steps to disable recording your webinar:
Click on your webinar
Click 'Edit webinar'
Go to 'Webinar'
Go to 'Settings'
Scroll down to 'Enable recordings for live webinars' and toggle the switch off
Please note! If you host a webinar with the recording disabled, there will be no recording no matter what. We can't recover this for you.
Frequently asked questions
Will you always record my webinar?
By default, yes. However, you can turn off recording if you want to. Read this part of the article to find out how.
Can I edit my replay after publication?
No. The replay is an exact representation of the live webinar. However, you do have the option to download the replay, edit it externally and publish it later in WebinarGeek, e.g. as an on demand or automated webinar. Click here to learn more.
What if I want to do more with my replay such as collecting more statistics or creating its own registration page?
A replay is meant for viewers of a live webinar or people that happen to miss the broadcast. When you feel the need for more options, such as e.g. its own registration page or more statistics, you can convert the recording into an on demand webinar. This is an individual webinar with a lot more possibilities, such as its own registration page, the option to send follow-up emails and more statistics.
To create an on demand webinar, choose 'Options' next to the broadcast and click 'Create an on demand webinar'.
