How to set up a webinar registration

The word webinar is a rewriting of the word seminar. That means that a webinar is a course or meeting where participants meet online instead of physically. Therefore, the participants can meet without being dependent on being in the same room. 

If you would like your event to be or be changed to a webinar, either edit an existing event or create a new one. 

See how to create a new event in this guide.

If you need to change an existing event from a physical event to a webinar, it may be a good idea to contact your attendees to let them know about the change. See how to contact your participants in this guide.

When you host a webinar, you can state that the event takes place online. When it comes to existing events start by finding your event in the list of events and click the edit icon to get to the page where you can edit your event:

Click "Add new location" on the "Basic" tab.

Then you can add the online location.

When creating a new event you can add a new location on step 2.

Once you've added the new location it will be available in the list of locations in the future.

To host a webinar, there are a number of platforms you can use. Once you set up your webinar on e.g. Skype, Zoom or Teams, you will receive a link that your participants must click on, so that you can meet online together.

You can find platforms, where participants can chat with you, and there are also platforms, where you can both see and hear your participants. Find out exactly what you need and explore the options for the solution that works best for you.

Before the start of your webinar, we recommend that you use EasySignup´s message function to contact your participants and send them the link, so they have it before the webinar starts. See how to contact your participants in this guide.

You can customize the confirmation e-mail, which is sent to participants and include the link. Please refer to this guide.

You can also insert the link in the calendar file that participants receive after registration. See how in this guide.
