Webinar glossary
Clear definitions of the terms that come up when you run automated and AI webinars.
Automated webinar
An automated webinar is a pre-recorded presentation delivered to attendees automatically — on a schedule or on demand — without the presenter being there live.
Read definition →Evergreen webinar
An evergreen webinar is a pre-recorded webinar that runs automatically — on a schedule, on demand, or just-in-time — so new audiences can attend at any time without the host presenting live.
Read definition →Hybrid webinar
A hybrid webinar combines live and automated elements — for example, a recorded core presentation with a live Q&A, or a live event that's then made available on demand to everyone who couldn't attend.
Read definition →Just-in-time webinar
A just-in-time webinar offers each new registrant a session starting in just a few minutes — combining the convenience of on-demand with the urgency of a scheduled live event.
Read definition →On-demand webinar
An on-demand webinar is a pre-recorded webinar an attendee can start whenever they want, rather than at a scheduled time — they register and watch immediately, on their own schedule.
Read definition →Simulated live webinar
A simulated live webinar is a pre-recorded webinar presented as if it were happening live — often with a countdown, live-style timing, dynamic attendee counters and scripted chat messages designed to feel real.
Read definition →Simulive (simulated live)
Simulive — short for 'simulated live' — is a webinar format where a pre-recorded video is played at a scheduled time and presented to attendees as if it were happening live.
Read definition →Webinar funnel
A webinar funnel is the sequence a prospect moves through around a webinar — from ad or invite, to a registration page, to attending, to a post-webinar offer and follow-up — designed to turn attention into customers.
Read definition →Webinar registration rate
Webinar registration rate is the percentage of people who sign up for a webinar out of everyone who saw the invitation or landing page — a measure of how compelling your topic and registration page are.
Read definition →Webinar replay
A webinar replay is the recording of a live webinar made available to watch afterwards — for registrants who missed it or attendees who want to review it.
