Applies to: WebinarJam and EverWebinar
The Direct link to live room is a bypass link. It allows someone to join your webinar immediately, without registration, even if the session has already started.
Use this link if:
- A registrant lost their confirmation email
- Someone needs last-minute access
- You want to manually grant entry to specific individuals
Important:
The direct link is not recommended for general promotion, as certain analytics are not tracked when attendees enter this way.
How to find the direct link
To obtain your webinar’s direct link:
- Go to the Webinars dashboard and locate your webinar
- Click Your links
- In the Attendees tab, find Direct link to live room
- Copy the full URL
If available on your plan, click the pencil icon to customize the link (the domain cannot be changed).
Check your plan
Link customization is available in EverWebinar, WebinarJam Professional, and WebinarJam Enterprise.
