Cloudpresenter webinars allow you to set-up a beautiful custom branded landing page for you to promote your event and build your audience. You can broadcast to an audience of up to 5000 depending on your plan. In webinars, hosts and panelists have the ability to share their screen, video, and audio during a webinar, while attendees can engage with the host and panelists through chat or question-and-answer features.
Webinars can be conducted as one-time events, recurring series, or as multiple sessions of the same content held at different times.

Inviting participants, speakers, moderators, and producers
Participants
Participants are considered view-only entities by default. This means they do not possess any active access and permissions unless explicitly granted by the host. However, participants do have the ability to engage with interactive features such as polls and in-meeting chats. In Cloudpresenter, you have the flexibility to include up to 5000 participants, depending on the specific plan you have selected.
There are two distinct ways to invite participants to register for a webinar:
Copy the registration URL of your webinar from the webinar details page and share it via email, messaging platforms, or your website.

Speakers
Speakers actively engage with the audience by delivering presentations, leading discussions, answering questions, and facilitating interactive sessions. They have the ability to mute/unmute themselves, start/stop their video, view and respond to Q&A, and have access to other tools that enhance their participation during the webinar.
