Using on-demand webinars

On-demand webinars allow you to schedule a webinar with registration and record the webinar automatically in the cloud. After the webinar ends, registration stays open, and anyone who registers will receive a link to the cloud recording. The host will receive registration information for both live attendees and others who register to watch it later.

Note: Registration for on-demand recording is not compatible with PayPal integration, attendee emails, post-attendee links, or surveys.
