Do I need a RingCentral account to attend a webinar?

No. Panelists and Attendees can join a RingCentral Webinar™ from a sharable web browser link or the RingCentral desktop and mobile apps. Just like a RingCentral video conferencing meeting. Unless specified by the host, panelists and attendees do not need to sign in or sign up for an account to attend a RingCentral Webinar™. However, hosts require a RingCentral account to set up a webinar.

How do I add on RingCentral Webinar™?

New and existing RingCentral customers: Contact sales to set up your account and add on RingCentral Webinar™ with the help of an expert. New customers with under 100 lines: Set up your RingCentral account over our intuitive portal and add on RingCentral Webinar™ from the ‘Add-ons’ stage during checkout.

Where is RingCentral Webinar™ available?

RingCentral Webinar is currently available in the USA and Canada, and will be generally available in the United Kingdom, EU, Australia, India, Singapore, and Switzerland by the end of 2023. Support for additional countries coming soon.

What is the difference between live webinars and video conferencing solutions?

During a video conference or online meeting, participants can chat and interact with the hosts and other participants during the meeting. With a webinar tool, you have the functionality for participants to enter as audience members. That means they don't have to remember to go on mute or have the ability to screen share as they would in a video meeting. All participants can enter your virtual event without any distractions and stay focused on the host.

What are some webinar best practices?

There are a lot of best practices for webinars. An excellent place to start is with a solid and engaging title for your event. Give additional details on what participants can expect with a short description, or even add a personal logo for a more branded touch in the RingCentral Admin panel. Practicing your webinar presentation is key. Quickly rehearse with fellow panelists beforehand using the RingCentral backstage host prep features. Lastly, give your participants something to take away from your virtual event. Share out your webinar presentation with your audience by creating a unique and shareable link from the host panel, or create an evergreen library of on-demand webinars that can be shared again and again.

We used RingCentral’s webinar software to host a student Q&A with more than 500 registrants and more than a hundred attendees. Everything went smoothly from setup and execution to the analytics review. Attendees were able to join the presentation quickly and seamlessly — two things that are important for busy adult learners juggling an education, family, and work. Overall, the software was exactly what we needed to host a successful virtual event.

RingCentral Webinar is extremely simple and easy to use. As a marketer who organizes and runs monthly educational webinars for our members, having automated emails sent out to attendees takes a huge weight off of my shoulders. With so much going on, I really appreciate not having to worry about sending reminders and follow-up emails; it's all taken care of through RingCentral!

Frequently Asked Questions [FAQs] about RingCentral Webinar

A webinar is a type of online event or presentation where the host or presenter delivers information to a large audience, usually in a one-way communication format. Attendees can interact through Q&A sessions or polls, but generally, the focus is on the presenter and the content they're delivering. Designed to be more of a broadcast experience for larger groups, webinars include more administrative capabilities that prevent disruption and put more control in the hands of hosts.

On the other hand, a video meeting is a real-time, two-way communication between multiple people or parties, where everyone can see and hear each other. Video meetings are typically used for collaboration, discussion, and decision-making, rather than one-way content delivery.
