Webinar
Hi Nesties,
Can anyone provide some information on webinars. How to start one, are they free and where to begin. I want to begin training my business partners who in different parts of the US. How does it work?
Any advice or websites to go to would be great.
Re: Webinar
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
WebEx is popular with large businesses. Other options are LiveMeeting (if you use Microsoft's LiveMessenger, LiveMeeting should be a snap). There is also Dimdim. When looking at programs, consider what you'll be using it for... meeting with colleagues, presenting to (potential or actual) customers, using PowerPoint, sharing video, etc...
Free, no.
What type of meetings will you be hosting? Would you like to share your computer/desktop, or a formal presentation?
Are you looking to have the audio come thru the computer, or will everyone be dialing into an audio bridge?
How many attendees will you have?
Are you looking to record, or pre-record?
I host webconferences for my job. In the past we have used webex, but weren't happy with them - in my experience, you have to have a contract based on minutes, and if you don't use all the minutes - you lose them.
We have also used The Conference Group - they didn't justify our needs, as we host formal presentations - and we lost annimation, and it didn't support flash.
We are currently using Adobe Connect Pro, and I have only good things to say. If your planning on having less then 100 people, you could purchase the rights to a meeting room for $500 a year.
If your unfamiliar with the software, it may be better to branch out to an agency.
