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.

How just-in-time scheduling works

Instead of asking visitors to come back at a fixed time (and risk forgetting), a just-in-time webinar shows a session 'starting in 5 minutes'. The attendee registers and watches almost immediately, while still feeling the momentum of an event that's about to begin.

Why it converts

It removes the biggest leak in live webinars — the gap between registration and the event, where most no-shows happen — while keeping a sense of urgency that pure on-demand can lack. It's a popular default for evergreen lead generation.

Just-in-time vs. on-demand

On-demand starts the instant someone registers, with no wait at all. Just-in-time adds a short, deliberate countdown for urgency. Many platforms — including Presentr — let you offer both. See best on-demand webinar software.
