What attendees see
A walk through a session from the attendee's side, from the lobby to the final Q&A, on desktop and on phones.
On this page
This page follows a session from the attendee's side, so you know what your audience gets. To see it yourself, open Open session → Latest published or Draft preview in the webinar header. See Preview and publish.
The lobby
Attendees arrive at the lobby: the cover slide, the title, the description and the length. They enter their name, and an email if you ask for it, and click Join webinar. With scheduled times they pick a time and register instead, then wait on a countdown page.
The session
- Welcome. The moderator welcomes everyone, sometimes with a short intro video. See Intro and outro.
- Slides. The presenter talks over each slide. What they say appears as captions, and the Transcript tab has the full text so far.
- Chat. Attendees ask questions in the Chat tab at any time. The moderator answers quick ones and brings the rest to the presenter between slides. Questions show a status, such as Sent to presenter, Answered or Follow-up by email. Attendees can give messages a thumbs up.
- Q&A breaks. On a Q&A slide the presenter pauses and invites questions.
- Polls. On a poll slide attendees pick an answer on the slide and can change their vote until it closes. The presenter then talks about the results.
- Offers. From an offer slide on, the offer stays pinned at the top of the chat with its button until the end.
- Outro and final Q&A. After the last slide, the moderator can play an outro and post links in the chat. Then the presenter answers the remaining questions in the final Q&A.
Attendees can pause, mute and leave at any time.
When the presenter doesn't know an answer, it says so and offers a follow-up by email. The question goes to your Inbox.
AI disclosure
Hosts show an "AI" badge next to their name, and hovering it reads "This host is an AI agent". The badge is on by default and set per persona with Show AI badge. See Presenters, moderators and voices. Webinaric shows no fake attendee counts and no staged chat.
On phones
- Portrait: the slide at the top with a one-line caption below, and Chat and Transcript tabs underneath. Polls open as a bottom sheet.
- Landscape: the slide fills the screen, and the offer shows as a strip over the slide.
- Captions can be turned on and off.
Audio
Browsers block sound until the visitor has interacted with the page. If audio can't start, the player shows Enable audio. One click starts it.
Coming back later
- The follow-up emails contain a rejoin link back into the same session: to the final Q&A, or to where they left off. It works until the session closes.
- After that, the link leads to the lobby to start again.
- Every automated email has an unsubscribe link. Answers to questions they asked still reach them.
