Additional information
- For more information on privacy settings for your webinar, see Change the privacy settings of your Live videos.
- To customize the webinar player, see How to customize my live event's player.
- Advanced and Premium users are limited to 100 registrants and will not have access to attendee-specific analytics. If your event requires more than 100 attendees, you can turn off registration or upgrade to Enterprise.
- If you are an Enterprise user and cannot create webinars or need more registrants than your account allows, please contact your account manager for the next steps.
- Team account owners and admins can create webinars and link email providers; team contributors cannot create webinars but can manage and produce a webinar if it’s in a folder to which they have access.
- Vimeo will auto-complete webinars that stop streaming for more than 6 hours after their scheduled end time. Upon auto-completion, you will get viewer-level analytics and event analytics.
- After a live webinar has ended, the webinar is still available to watch on demand. Viewers can continue to register and watch the archived event.
- If you are unable to create a webinar, it might be because of rate-limits. This limit has been implemented due to security concerns regarding misuse of the product. To navigate around it, please try again in a moment or edit one of the previously created but unedited webinars for your event.
