ClickMeeting Provides a Creative and Simple Webinar Solution

September 23, 2016 By Gail Gardner 26 Comments

A friend of mine helps to run webinars as part of her job. She says that to her and her coworkers, the most important aspect of a webinar is that it be simple and intuitive for the participants to use.

The people she is speaking to are in an older demographic and are not necessarily comfortable with using technology. It is very important therefore that the webinar is not confusing to the participants.

Keeping It Easy

The webinar service provided by ClickMeeting is unquestionably one of the least complicated for both attendees and presenters to use.

Unlike other webinar providers, ClickMeeting does not require you to download software. You can run the entire presentation from your browser. What’s more, ClickMeeting is compatible with multiple types of operating systems, including Linux. Do note, however, that with Linux you must use Google Chrome and that screen sharing is not an option.

ClickMeeting is not limited by smaller devices the way other applications are sometimes. For example, a Skype group call does not permit mobile users to see video. However, through ClickMeeting, you can actually run your webinar from your iPad, iPhone, or Android.

The features available to you on mobile are the same as those you can access on a desktop or laptop computer. Essentially, you can run a webinar anywhere you have access to Wi-Fi. ClickMeeting is also versatile in that it integrates with other apps, such as Flickr, YouTube, and Slack.

Setting Up Your Webinar

Through ClickMeeting, it is almost effortless for participants to join your webinar. Once you’ve created, named, and scheduled your event, you will make an email invitation with one of ClickMeeting’s email templates, which you can customize according to your brand. To join your webinar, all that participants have to do is click on the link in the email.

Once they join, you can engage your users before the webinar even starts. Instead of merely sitting and staring at their screens, attendees enter an online waiting room. There they can read your agenda for the presentation, browse information that you’ve added, or learn about the webinar presenter. As with your emails, you can change the appearance of the waiting room, as well as the webinar itself, to fit your branding.

Webinar Features

There are a variety of helpful and creative tools ClickMeeting provides for conducting your webinar. These include the use of images and videos, a white board, screen sharing, and surveys. Conducting surveys or polls and viewing the results in real time can be a great way to make your webinars interactive.

This feature can also help you tailor your subject matter to what your audience wants. ClickMeeting even offers simultaneous chat translation for participants who speak a foreign language.

There are different audio options you can use as you conduct your webinar. You can, of course, keep your audience muted while you present. The Q&A mode allows users to request the ability to ask a question, at which point you can allow one person to speak at a time. The discussion mode allows participants to talk to each other. And if you are presenting with multiple people, the private mode allows you to speak to the other presenters without the webinar audience hearing.

Of course, being able to record your webinars is a huge advantage. Doing so enables you to send a copy to any anyone who missed a class or training session. You can even save and export any notes you created while presenting.

Feedback and Analytics

Statistics-ClickMeeting

In any industry, it’s helpful to be able to gather data on your audience, as well as obtain feedback on how well you’re your doing your job. ClickMeeting supplies analytics that can tell you the demographics of your audience members. You can discover other information, such as the point at which people started leaving your webinar. You can also get your audience’s opinions on the presentation, in addition to sending them thank-you notes for attending.

Pricing

All of ClickMeeting’s pricing plans include the features listed above. The basic plan costs $25/month and allows two presenters, four video streams, and four hours worth of recording. This plan is best for webinars projected to have between 25 and 100 attendees.

The pro plan is best suited to webinars with 50 to 500 attendees. It allows four presenters, four video streams, six hours of recording, and costs $35/month.

For $165/month, the enterprise plan allows you to build a highly customizable webinar for your business. You can use this plan for webinars with participants numbering between 500 and 5000. The plan comes with multiple add-ons and solutions, as well as account consultations and support.

Webinars Are the Best Way to Connect

In today’s busy world, technology allows you to connect with people across the globe. Webinars are useful for educational and marketing purposes, but you can also use them in industries such as sales or human resources.

If you are not currently using webinars to connect with your audience members, you are neglecting the most effective way you could be interacting with them. Research shows that webinars are far more successful than any other method of engaging people. ClickMeeting allows you to easily create webinars that are helpful and interesting and which make the most of both your and your participants’ time.

    I love ClickMeeting as a free version. But now it allows only 30 days trial for free. Their customization option is much better than other free webinars tool

    I’m using ClickMeeting since 2017. It provides Facebook and Youtube streams as well 😍. If you are in the first steps arranging webinars ClickMeeting could be an option. Tutorials and customer support is really helpful. Statistic reports make it easy to measure your webinar success. It has a pool and survey features help you to understand customer needs.

    Hey Gail, Splendid Post! Webinars have been very valuable for me, especially since I often talk about presenting and a webinar is a kind of presentation. I’m currently using MegaMeeting webinar platform in case any problem persists will definitely consider using ClickMeeting next time.

      Hi Losliya,

      I hadn’t heard of MegaMeeting. One of the major benefits of using ClickMeeting is if you have attendees using multiple languages. Not everyone needs that all the time, but it is a valuable feature I haven’t seen anywhere else.

    You read my mind, Gail.
    Hosting or participating in a webinar must be simple, intuitive, versatile and reliable.
    I think more people would host more webinars with re-assurance from software providing these benefits.
    Thanks for sharing your thorough analysis with researching and using ClickMeeting.
    Now off to think about what content would motivate my audience to tune into a webinar for.

    It sure looks like an easy solution for webinars. It looks like it is not quite widely used though. Could be the price?

    Hello GailGreat post! Thanks for for all the information and insight .It really surprised surprised me how reasonable the pricing is for webinars. I attend a webinar every week at Wealthy Affiliate and assumed it was an arm and a leg . But as you wisely pointed out above the real deal is with Get response and email marketing and automation. Again thanks for this value-packed post I definitely am going to look more into webinars.

      Hi Darrell,

      Webinars can get expensive to run when they get really large, but then by then hopefully they’ll be making money, right? I’m glad to see the pricing has come down for entry level costs so most people can get started building a following.

    Hey Gail,

    I have attended a few webinars online. It’s really informative and effective. Nowadays people are focusing on the visual content.

    But here comes the webinars. It’s good to know about Clickmeeting. Maybe we can create more with it.
    Thanks for letting us know.

      Hi Ravi,

      Clickmeeting is especially useful if your target audience speaks more than one language. It can translate what you’re saying on the fly so the people attending can choose which language appears on their screen to follow along.

      Someone in an office or where there is a lot of background noise or whose hearing isn’t great might also want to use it like captioning.

      Hi Aini,

      The cool thing is you can use Clickmeeting with GetResponse and have it automatically send anyone who registered a copy of the presentation. That way, even if they couldn’t attend or missed part of it they still get your message. And those who were in the entire time can review it again.

    Hey Gail,

    Web conferencing is considered as the ideal solution to the ubiquitous problem of long, unproductive meetings. With ClickMeeting, presenters have complete control of the audience interaction, multimedia, collaboration even the branding.This is really designed to provide the best format for our business needs.When creating meetings, we can easily choose between a scheduled event or a permanent event, which is always accessible and has no start or end date, ideal for recurring or on-the-fly meetings.

    ClickMeeting helps us to create engaging meetings, whether we’re looking for lively participation, a training seminar, or a brainstorming session. Its interface is appealing and easy to use, and its plans are just the right size and price for a small company.

    With best wishes,

    Amar kumar

      Hi Amar,

      I agree. In our circles I expect that we will start seeing a lot more regular webinar presentations plus special events. I suspect today it is primarily being used for B2B businesses who do regular presentations for new prospects and buyers.

    Oh this is going to really help. Really helpful for the user who often do webinars, and convert free ones into sales. But for me, I don’t think I should be using it for the $25/month.
    Since do not do webinars. But I would really recommend it to friends. It has some realyl good features.
