Use this guide to create your first webinar from start to finish. Follow the steps in order to set up your webinar, configure key features, and prepare for your event.

What you’ll learn

To create a webinar, you will:

  • Choose how your webinar will run
  • Set up your webinar details and presenters
  • Configure registration and notifications
  • Add engagement features for your live session
  • Enable replay for your webinar

Follow the steps below to complete your setup.

Choose how your webinar will run

Before setting anything else, decide how your webinar will be delivered. This includes selecting the webinar type and choosing how your video and audio will be streamed to attendees.

These choices define the overall experience for both you and your audience.

If you wish to use an external streaming platform:

Set up your webinar details

Once your webinar format is defined, configure the core details of your event. This includes when your webinar will run and who will be involved in hosting it.

Accurate setup here ensures attendees join at the correct time and your team has the right access during the session.

Set up registration and pages

Your registration flow is how attendees discover and sign up for your webinar. In this step, you will configure the pages your audience interacts with before the event.

A clear and well-designed registration experience can directly impact how many people sign up.

Set up notifications

Notifications keep your webinar top of mind for attendees. They confirm registrations, send reminders, and help reduce no-shows.

Without proper notifications, even interested registrants may miss your event.

Learn about various notification options available at Manage webinar notifications and reminders.

Add live webinar features

Enhance your webinar experience with interactive and engagement-focused elements. These features help you hold attention, gather feedback, and drive conversions during the session.

You can keep it simple or layer in advanced elements depending on your goals.

Enable replay for your webinar 

Replays allow your webinar to continue generating value after the live session ends. Attendees who missed the event can watch it later, and you can extend your reach without running another live session. This is especially useful for increasing conversions and engagement over time.

Connect tracking and integrations (optional)

If you want deeper insights or need to connect with other tools, you can set up tracking and integrations. This step helps you measure performance, automate follow-ups, and sync data with your existing systems.

Next step: Start getting registrations

Now that your webinar is set up, the next step is to get people to register and attend your event.

You can start collecting registrations in a few simple ways. Learn more about the available options: Ways to register attendees for a webinar
