How Do You Record A Webinar As the Host?

Brad Spencer · 10-08-2009, 05:07 PM

Hey Warriors,

I was wondering, do people who record their webinars do so with Camtasia and then post the video of it or do the services like GoToWebinar and such do that for you?

Just curious b/c I know Audio Acrobat has an embed function I've seen...trying to plan out how i will do this

Cheers,

Brad

Brad,

Go2Webinar has it built in.

Be sure to record it as standard WMV format though. They use a proprietary codec for one of their options, just be sure to choose the standard one.

I think this thread should be moved to review product, isn't it?
It will be more suitable there, won't they?

NO, it wouldn't be suitable to post there.

The OP is asking how to record a webinar!

I suggest you read the opening post before you make suggestions like this one again. Or aren't you sure of the difference between a webinar and a product?

Then again, you are new to the forum. Are you hoping to build your post count with posts like this one? If so, good luck.

Just exactly what is the op reviewing ?

If you are just honestly clueless, we have all been at some point in time .

If you are just trying to bump post , you will never find the respect to be successful on here .

Jeff, with Go2Webinar, do you know if can I upload my pre-recorded webinar, BUT include a live intro and ending? I want to be able to show the same recording as a "live" event 1/2/3 times each week w/o having to actually do the recording 3 times each week. But to make it somewhat live, I want to come on in the beginning with an intro and be available at the end for questions. Do you know if this is possible to mix live and a recording? Or anyone else know?

Thanks.

Hi Brad

It obviously depends on who your used to host your webinar but...I have used both Gotowebinar and Webex.

There is an ability to record your webinars on either of these but personally I prefer GotoWebinar because you can record direct to a .wmv file (despite the proprietary codecs - which are easy to get anyway).

If you going to record something to present or broadcast - then use Camtasia or something suitable software. I recommend recording the video and audio separately (so if you screw up one you don't ruin the other - not that I am saying you will)

.

Quick tip is that if you going to present or even record set you screen resolution to 1024 x 768 or lower - this will it easier to read - esp if you decide to convert to a flash video or something.

cheers

Hey, thanks for the clear response. Just one question. Why wouldn't I just use the WMV file and embed it in the replay file?

Also, why would you record with camtasia at all if it's recording it within G2W? Just curious what you were trying to say in the 2nd part.

Thanks,

Brad
