Univid can help you with every step of the way. With the basics covered in setting up a webinar, it's time to get going.
Create a webinar
Structuring a webinar with all the members, ideas, tasks, and due dates, and optimizing it for team collaboration can be overwhelming. Thankfully, Univid automates parts of these aspects upon creating a webinar. While Univid similar to common meeting software like Teams and Zoom are out of the box and ready to share the link and start, the webinar can be configured to meet your needs and be successful.

- From the organisation’s Webinar tab, click “Create webinar” or duplicate a webinar by clicking “Enter” on an existing Webinar and from the left side menu select “Other”, and choose “Duplicate”.
- Name the webinar to represent what it is all about, it should grab their attention and quickly tell them why your webinar is worth their time. Tip from our glossary: Keep it short and sweet.
- Your time zone could be a valuable aspect to consider if your target audience is in another region. As you work through creating a new webinar, you will have options for adjusting this later on.

Assemble the audience
The Lobby acts as a landing page for registrants before the session begins. One main objective of a webinar is to have an audience attending. A webinar in Univid automatically gets a registration page (integrations support custom forms). You can view it by opening the link you are on in an incognito web browser or by pressing the preview within the left menu. From the left menu, form fields like company name and phone number can be added.

To share the registration link, locate the share button above the lobby of the webinar. Copy and share the link at any channel suitable for your audience, be it a newsletter, company homepage or personal email.
Send an Email with a Personal Link
An easy-to-access link to the webinar is sent upon registration. This email reflects the design of your webinar and lobby (logo image, background image and colours).
