Hey everyone, I'm Marina from Yes to Tech, and welcome back to my channel.
Wondering which webinar platform is best?
In this video, I'll be sharing the best webinar platforms by doing a webinar platform features
breakdown and webinar platform pricing breakdown.
By the end of this video, you'll know exactly which is the best webinar software so that
you can get more registrants, live attendees and make more sales from your live and automated
webinars.

right in.
For those of you who are just starting out in your online business, it's possible to
create a webinar for free by using YouTube.
You can either go live with your webinar directly on YouTube, or schedule your webinar stream
for later.
If you prefer, you can embed your webinar stream from YouTube onto your own website
or onto a landing page software of your choice.
One advantage of using YouTube as your webinar platform is that there are no limits to the
number of webinars you can host, to the number of attendees you can watch your webinar and
to the webinar duration.
However, since YouTube is not a webinar platform in essence, there are some limitations to
it.
For instance, with YouTube, you are unable to host a webinar in which you share both
your face and your screen at the same time, though you can do each one independently.
It's only possible to have one webinar host, and there is no support.
For more information on how to use YouTube as your webinar platform, make sure to watch
my video on 'how to create a webinar for free'.
If you wish to use YouTube to host evergreen webinars instead of live ones, make sure to
watch my video on 'how to create evergreen webinars'.
I'll leave the link to both videos in the description box below.
You can also use a video conferencing software, such as Zoom, as your webinar platform.
If you plan on hosting short webinars which are up to 40 minutes in length, you can even
use the free Zoom Meetings plan to host up to 100 webinar participants.
Zoom Meeting's paid plans start at $14.99 per month and allow you to host unlimited
group meetings with a duration of up to 30 hours.
They also offer support and the ability to record your webinar, telephone dial-in, screen
sharing, private and group chat, host controls, and a number of other features.
You can also opt for a Zoom Video Webinar plan, which starts at $40 per month, and comes
with a number of features that are ideal for creating and hosting webinars, including 100
interactive video panelists, screen sharing, Q&A, in-webinar text chat, polling, attendee
and webinar performance reporting, the ability to mute and unmute panelists, promote attendees
to be panelists, whiteboarding and annotation tools, customizable branded registration pages,
pre and post-webinar reminder emails, practice session for pre-event panelist prep, post-event
survey link, recordings and transcripts, integration with CRM and marketing automation applications,
live streaming to unlimited audiences, PayPal integration, language interpreter support,
and source tracking.
The pricing of actual webinar platforms, such as GoToWebinar and WebinarJam, are similar
to the pricing of the Zoom Video Webinar Plan.
Investing in webinar platforms such as GoToWebinar and WebinarJam is ideal for those who already
have a webinar that converts, and thus want to get as many webinar attendees as possible,
both live and on demand, to make money from those webinars.
GoToWebinar starts at $59 per month for its Lite plan, and goes up to $499 per month for
its Enterprise plan, and WebinarJam, which doesn't offer monthly pricing, costs $499
per year for its Basic plan up to $999 per year for its Enterprise plan.
GoToWebinar's Lite plan comes with a number of features, and offers you a complete webinar
platform experience.
This includes GoToStage access, GoToMeeting license, 24/7 phone support, webcast event,
standard event, web audio, phone audio, screen sharing, video sharing, polls, handouts and
Q&A, no download, drawing tools, full service registration, CRM integrations, automated
emails, accept payments, reporting and analytics, online and local recording, unlimited cloud
storage, and custom branding.
With WebinarJam's Basic plan, you can host unlimited webinars, have up to 2 presenters
and 500 attendees, as well as create a webinar which has a 2 hour maximum duration.
All of WebinarJam's plans include live chat, automated recordings, flexible scheduling,
attendee spotlight, page builder, email and SMS system, active offers, polls and surveys,
handouts, drawing board, video injections, and paid webinars.
