How to Set Up a Webinar
A webinar is a Web-based seminar which allows attendees to watch a live feed from their own computers via the Internet. A successful webinar is planned at least two months in advance to allow plenty of time for the producers to practice. Setting up a webinar requires use of a webinar software package that allows participants to log into the site to receive the live feed. Most packages support Microsoft PowerPoint files to feed the information for the webinar over the Internet.
