Webinar

A webinar is a live online presentation or seminar that people register for and watch in real time, usually mixing a talk, slides, and a Q&A. It runs over the web, often through tools like Zoom, YouTube Live, or LinkedIn Live.

In more detail

Webinars are built for depth, not quick scrolling. They typically run 30 to 60 minutes and pair a host or panel with slides, screen shares, and live audience questions through chat or polls. Brands use them to teach a topic, demo a product, or build authority with people who opt in by registering. The format does double duty: the live session drives signups and engagement, and the recording becomes evergreen content you can clip, gate behind a signup form, or repurpose into posts long after the event ends.

Example

A B2B software company hosts a 45 minute webinar called "How we cut churn by 20 percent." 300 people register, 120 show up live, and the rest get the recording by email. The team then turns the session into 5 short clips, a blog recap, and a LinkedIn carousel, so one event feeds a month of content.

FAQ

Webinar, answered.

What is the difference between a webinar and a livestream?
A webinar usually requires registration and is structured around teaching, with slides and a planned agenda. A livestream is more open and public, anyone can drop in, and it tends to be looser and more conversational.
How long should a webinar be?
Most land between 30 and 60 minutes. Keep the core talk tight and leave 10 to 15 minutes for live questions, since the Q&A is often what attendees value most.
