As the "Netflix of webinars", it gives you on-demand access to webinar training topics ranging from sales & marketing to content creation & engagement techniques.
Access to The WebinarNinja Academy is included with every WebinarNinja plan. Just click the 🎓 menu icon on the left when you sign into your account.
Live video multi-streaming
We have upgraded WebinarNinja to Live Video Multi-Streaming. This means when a you stream your live broadcast we will produce several live streams and give each of your attendees the stream that best matches their internet connection quality. Without multi-streaming, your broadcast quality can be dragged down by an attendee's poor connection.
Multi-streaming is built-in and there is nothing for you to switch on. If you would like to utilize multi-streaming, just use Chrome or Firefox when you host your webinars. Multi-streaming is the latest tech in live WebRTC videos and is optimized for those browsers. On the other hand, your attendees can use any browser they like.
