Ways to register attendees for a webinar

Applies to: WebinarJam and EverWebinar

WebinarJam offers several ways to register people for your webinar. The right method depends on how you promote your event and how you want attendees to join.

You can register attendees by:

  • Sharing a registration page hosted by WebinarJam

  • Embedding a registration form on your own website

  • Allowing existing subscribers to register with a one-click link

  • Automatically subscribing attendees to future webinars

  • Granting direct access to the webinar room when needed

  • Registering attendees programmatically through the API

Use the sections below to learn when to use each option.


Standard registration methods

These are the most common ways to collect webinar registrations.

Share the hosted registration page

Every webinar automatically includes a registration page hosted by WebinarJam. You can share the link with your audience so they can sign up directly.

Use this option if you:

  • Want a ready-to-use registration page

  • Do not have your own website or landing page

  • Want the fastest way to start collecting registrations


Embed a registration form on your website

If you prefer to collect registrations on your own website, you can embed a webinar registration form on any page.

WebinarJam provides several embed formats, including:

  • Floating registration bars

  • Registration buttons that open pop-up forms

  • Floating registration bubbles

  • Static embedded registration forms

Use this option if you:

  • Are sending traffic to your own landing pages

  • Want full control over page design and branding

  • Prefer to keep visitors on your domain during registration


Registration for existing contacts

These methods allow you to register people who are already part of your audience.

One-click registration from email

One-click registration allows subscribers on your email list to register for a webinar simply by clicking a link in an email.

When they click the link:

  • They are registered automatically in the background

  • The registration page is skipped

  • They are redirected to the webinar confirmation page

This method reduces friction and can improve registration conversions for your existing subscribers.


Auto-subscribe past attendees to future webinars

If you run webinars regularly, you can allow attendees to opt in to future webinars from the same host.

When enabled, your registration form includes an optional checkbox that allows attendees to subscribe to future events.

Auto-subscribed attendees are saved to your account, and you can register them for new webinars as they are created.


Bypassing registration (direct access)

WebinarJam also provides a direct link to the live room.

This link bypasses the normal registration process and allows someone to join the webinar immediately.

It is typically used when:

  • A registrant lost their confirmation email

  • Someone needs last-minute access

  • You need to manually grant entry to specific attendees

Because this method bypasses registration tracking, it should not be used for general promotion.


API registration

Developers can register attendees directly through the WebinarJam API.

This method allows external applications or systems to submit attendee information and create registrations programmatically.

It is commonly used for:

  • Custom registration systems

  • Automated workflows
