A live webinar is an online event in which a host presents to an audience in real time. Unlike pre-recorded video, a live webinar is created on the go and allows you to interact with your audience through Q&A, polls, and chat while the event is happening.
With Riverside, you can host live webinars in 1080p quality while recording them locally in up to 4K so you can repurpose the content later.
For more details, read our guide on what is a live webinar.
Yes, you need a microphone for a webinar if you are a host or presenter and if you plan to speak. Attendees generally do not need microphones unless they plan to speak using live call-in features.
While built-in laptop microphones work, an external USB or XLR microphone significantly improves the clarity quality of your audio.
You can prepare for a webinar by writing a script, testing your equipment, planning your visuals, and defining engagement moments in advance.
Here’s a simple checklist:
Your camera is only on during a webinar if you choose to turn it on. Most live webinars include video to increase engagement and trust, but you can host audio-only sessions if preferred.
In most webinars, your camera is usually on only if you are a host or a guest speaker, and off if you’re an attendee. But, if a host invites an attendee onto the stage using Riverside’s video call-in feature, that attendee’s camera can become active as well.
A webinar can be live, recorded, or anything in between (like a simulive webinar). A live webinar happens in real time with audience interaction. However, you can also record the session to turn it into an on-demand or evergreen webinar immediately after finishing.
Many platforms also allow you to record live webinars so you can use them for pre-recorded content later on. For example, Riverside records your live webinar in up to 4K, so you can edit, clip, and repurpose it after the event ends. You can also host a pre-recorded webinar using a previous live one.
