HOW IT WORKS
Watch how to record a webinar
Choosing a good platform for recording a webinar can be difficult. But it’s worth the effort. By offering your recordings as on-demand webinars, you can expand your reach, deliver value and generate leads long after the live event has ended. In GoToWebinar, recording a webinar is quick and simple. Here’s what you need to do as the presenter to record your webinar.
