Getting Started with GoToWebinar
Setup means scheduling a session (Live, or the Simulcast/On-Demand option depending on plan), building a registration page with any custom questions you want to collect, and adding co-organizers or panelists before the event -- the flat organizer/co-organizer role model, not a granular permission system.
Practical Details
Because the registration-to-attendance funnel is more built-out than a typical video-conferencing tool's meeting mode, initial setup also includes configuring reminder emails on a schedule, which is worth doing before promoting the webinar rather than as an afterthought.
Actionable Considerations
- Build your registration page and reminder email schedule before you start promoting the webinar, since both are configured per-session
- Decide who needs organizer vs. co-organizer access up front, since both see the same registrant and reporting data
- Choose Live vs. Simulcast/On-Demand deliberately based on whether you need a real-time broadcast or a scheduled replay
