How to Create an "On-Demand" Automated Webinar

Create an automated webinar that registrants can attend anytime to generate leads and sales. You can use a YouTube video, upload a video from your computer, or select a recording from past live webinars.

Tip: Record videos specifically for automation rather than using old live recordings.

Benefits:

1. 24/7 Availability: Allows potential customers to access the webinar at their convenience, increasing the chances of engagement.

2. Scalability: Enables the company to reach a larger audience without scheduling conflicts or additional resources.

Example:

A software company launches a new product and wants to educate potential customers about its features. By creating an 'On-Demand' automated webinar, the company can provide a seamless and consistent presentation to viewers at any time, increasing engagement and sales.

To Create an "On-Demand" Automated Webinar:

1. Create a New Webinar:

Navigate to My Webinars and click Create New Webinar.

2. Select Webinar Type:

Choose Automated.

3. Enter Webinar Details:

Enter a webinar title.
Set the webinar registration as free or paid.
Visibility: Select the visibility type for your webinar:
- Public – The webinar is listed and accessible to everyone.
- Private – The webinar is accessible only via a direct registration link.

Back to editing the webinar, click Add Video Files and choose a video to use on the webinar. A window will pop up where you can choose videos from your Media Library.

Tip: You can also upload a new video by clicking Add New Video in the pop-up window.

Note: For YouTube videos, you can set start and end times to use a specific part of the video. The video must be public or unlisted, not private.
