64 webinar software reviews (Feb 2023)
Introduction
Running a webinar is getting easier and easier, and many webinar software platforms are free to use. But which one suits you?
Here is an update of the blog I originally posted in 2021 ………
Having moved my business online during the pandemic, I decided I needed to invest in Webinar software.
I started my search.
There were a few software comparison websites, but some of the reviews were missing information.
So I turned to blogs. These enticed me to read “21 best webinar software for 2021” or “10 best webinar software platforms that work”. But I was dubious. Had they reviewed ALL webinar software? What did they define as best, and how did they know what was best for me?
I decided to generate a list of my own which contained all the webinar software I could find. Once the list was completed I went onto each website and gathered relevant information around price, features, number of attendees etc. It took a long time!
The good news was that webinar software wasn’t as expensive as I thought, many had a free trial, and some even had a free version!!
And in terms of functionality some offered up to 4 different types of webinar to suit all needs. For example, recorded webinars allow you to get it right before you stream. Some recorded webinars even had the look and feel of a live webinar, with the ability to fake attendees if you were so inclined.
So with costs starting from zero, and the fear of looking an idiot on a live stream removed, what’s stopping you from hosting webinars?
That was back in February 2021, and after completing my research I went for Webinarkit. It was free and the functionality was great.
But now, in February 2023 Webinarkit have announced they are moving to tiered pricing, so the question is do I stay with Webinarkit and pay,or do I move somewhere else?
Time for more research.in 2023
Features, uses and benefits of webinars
Webinars are a great way to connect with your customers and your teams, and webinars allow for more interaction than a video call.
For entrepreneurs webinars are great for promoting your product, building your email list and generating leads.
For large businesses they are great for saving your company money through reduced travel time and cost. They can be used for anything from recruitment interviews to large virtual events and conferences, where you can create breakout rooms for attendees.
Webinars allow for real time feedback from the audience through polls, Q&A and chat. These can be moderated and even hidden from the audience if you prefer, and attendees can upvote the best questions.
Through the chat feature they can discuss the presentation and interact with you and the other attendees, even if they are on the other side of the world.
Here are some uses for webinars
- Product presentations
- Lead generation
- Training for employees and customers
- Employee communications
- Shareholders meetings
- Press conferences
- Workshops
- Tutorials
- Seminars
- Conferences
- Product demos
- Online courses
- Pay-Per-View
- Recruitment, Onboarding and training
- Town Hall broadcasts
- Conferences and events
- Fundraising
What do you need to host a webinar?
Well aside from the webinar software there are a couple of items that can add a professionalism to your webinar.
You could try the laptop microphone and webcam first, but if these don’t work out then check out the options below
Webcam
- Logitech StreamCam – £91.39 (was £139 in Feb 2021) View on Amazon
- Razer Kiyo – £69.99 (was £99.99 in Feb 2021) View on Amazon
- Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 – £19.99 (was £35.99 in Feb 2021) View on Amazon
Microphone
- Samson Meteor – £46.49 (was £82 in Feb 2021) View on Amazon
- Audio-Technica AT2020 – £90.40 (was £82 in 2021) View on Amazon
- Blue Microphones Yeti £119.99 View on Amazon
- Samson Go Mic Portable USB – £46.99 (was £55.95 in Feb 2021) View on Amazon
You also need an email account with an email marketing service provider. I’d suggest Mailchimp and Convertkit because they have a free version
And of course you need a laptop and a good internet connection
What to consider when choosing webinar software?
- Do you need live, on demand or automated webinars? Or all 3?
- How easy is it for the participant to join?
- How many attendees will the software allow?
- What features are included?
- Polls
- Chat
- Pop ups
- Analytics
- Customised branding
- Integrations with existing CRM etc
- Can you have multiple presenters?
- Is there a free version or free trial?
- And many more………..
Webinar terminology
But before we get to the reviews let’s look at the terminology. Some webinar software company websites may call a particular feature one thing, and another company might call the same feature something completely different. Let’s look at some of those scenarios.
Video conferencing and web conferencing
They both allow you to host a video based meeting between 2 or more people. They both enable collaboration, and they can both be recorded to be watched later on demand. There might be slight nuances but they are basically the same thing.
Webcast is a video presentation which is not collaborative in the same way that a webinar is. It tends to be a one way presentation over the internet that is live or on demand or both. It’s ideal for larger audiences such as all hands calls, Town Halls, conferences and seminars.
Webinar is still an online presentation but it allows the presenter or presenters to engage more with the audience. Engagement comes through chat, polls and Q & A.
Webinar software can do both webcasts and webinars.
Live Webinars
Live webinars are scheduled for a specific date/time. There’s nowhere to hide with a live webinar so maybe try a pre-record first.
Live webinars can be a one off or you can host multiple webinars on a recurring basis,
Recorded webinars (on demand)
An on-demand webinar is when a previously recorded webinar is uploaded for your audience to access at any time from your website, or wherever you embed it.
This can be a live webinar that you recorded at the time and make available for replay.
On demand webinars are great for generating leads by building your email list by requesting people get access by registering and capturing their email address.
You can also generate revenue by selling tickets.
Automated webinars (Evergreen)
Evergreen Webinars are recorded webinars that happen frequently, say every hour.
Because they are automated you don’t need to personally be on the webinar.
The advantage of automated and evergreen webinars is they feel live in that they are simulated as live. The Q&A and chat roll across the screen and these can be real or simulated
Hybrid webinars
These are webinars where the presentation is pre-recorded but the presenter is available “live” for answering Q&A and chat. In these cases the presenter can’t hop on to present
Livestream webinars
Is when your webinar streams simultaneously on social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube. Some companies offer up to 9 simultaneous video streams.
Summit or Series
Is a sequence of webinars that operate a series in much the same way a TV series would operate.
Again, these could be monetised and attendees can register for one at time or the whole series
