I use LiveWebinar to host trainings for employees and to hold internal meetings with staff. The problems we've had with Zoom is that it eats up a lot of network bandwidth when being used by employees and that slower internet connections of staff are an issue when they try to join with their cameras turned on. Also people were initially having problems installing the Zoom client so our IT had to install it on their devices one by one via remote or on-site. This was not the case with LiveWebinar which anyone can use on their web browsers and does not eat as much network bandwidth so slower connections can easily join meetings and webinars.
Pros
Permanent Rooms for adhoc meetings or webinars
Customizable Forms and Registration Pages
Evergreen events
Cons
People are having some issues joining LiveWebinar on mobile
Team Member access to create / setup live events in same account
Multi-day conferences which cuts across days or could be scheduled in the calendar
Likelihood to Recommend
LiveWebinar is best for individuals holding quick meetings or daily scheduled events. Having friction less meetings for teams which does not require prior app installation or setup makes this the perfect webinar platform for persons with techphobia. Schedule, Send, and Start the meeting. There's even built in surveys and tests which makes the meeting or event more engaging and interactive. Unfortunately for multi-day events, it is very hard to use LiveWebinar for this purpose. Let's say for virtual conferences which has defined dates and times for each session, LiveWebinar won't fit this purpose, or at least, it is very hard to execute this scenario using the platform.
LiveWebinar is used in the whole company to connect with customers around the world. We can hold meetings where everybody can participate and share their screen. We can also do Q&A sessions where one person is in control of the microphone and passes the mic to whomever he wants. We use it mostly for sales meetings where we teach our customers and dealers about the benefits of our product (real webinar mode).
Pros
Let's you create dedicated (permanent) meeting rooms for recurring meetings/training.
Easy overview of all past events/webinars.
Branding of a meeting room with company logo possible.
Lots of features that make the meeting more professional.
No need to install software to connect to a webinar.
Cons
Call-in feature for meeting participants should be a standard feature. With my plan, I cannot access this.
Account assistant login is cumbersome.
Paintbrushes for whiteboard/presentation annotations could be improved and should include stamps (checkmarks, red big arrow, etc.).
Likelihood to Recommend
If you need your own branded meetings, webinar solution.
If you need many features to tweak the system/
If you need up to 1000 participants in a meeting, this would be a good platform to have.
Quickly start a meeting with no hassle, no installations, just share a link via email or chat.
Customers can join on mobile devices.
Less appropriate if you have participants who need to call in and you don't have that particular plan.
LiveWebinar allows therapists in different locations to be part of the same training, learn together, ask questions, support each other and grow their expertise. LiveWebinar solves the problem of finding a time/place doable for most people to present training. It cuts out the travel time for those accessing remotely and offers efficiency to their day--allowing training and time for clients. Therapists don't need to lose a full day of clients to get needed training.
Pros
LiveWebinar makes it easy to share video clips and offer explanations simultaneously.
LiveWebinar allows the host to turn off the chat function so individuals are not distracted during the teaching.
LiveWebinar offers the ability to switch between teacher visuals, videos and power points, just as if doing 'in person.'
Cons
Connectivity and streaming are not always reliable and a webpage needs to be reloaded.
Likelihood to Recommend
LiveWebinar is well suited for training where the visual materials are easy to see and not overly detailed. LiveWebinar is not as easy when there is a lot of chatter going on, so if the material is complex, or likely to have numerous questions by the viewer, a different modality would be better.
