You go live and start your webinar from the webinar studio.

To start the webinar studio - press "Webinar studio".

No worries, the participants will not be able to see you yet, and you will not be live - until you press "go live".

Choose your webcam and mic. Then press "Join" to enter the studio.

You can change these settings when inside the studio too. By simply pressing the small arrow icon beside the mic or video icon.

If you want to mute mic or video, you can simply press the mic or video icon.

Share your screen inside the webinar studio, by pressing the "Share" button in the bottom bar.

Learn more about sharing screen, an uploaded PDF or video here.

You are now ready to go live for the audience. Press the button "go live" and you will now be visible for the audience.

The live stream will now replace the countdown and your splash image.

If you open the left menu, you can choose layouts and add a studio background.

In this studio menu you can choose the layout you want, as well as a studio background. Try sharing a screen or ask a colleague to join - and you will see what it looks like, when toggling between the layouts.

See the full guide on going live using the Univid studio here - going into more depth on what you can do, how to choose different layouts, etc.

Level up your webinars by adding engagement on top. Typically, less is more and keeping it simple. Start with a chat or Q&A, and work your way up to use polls and CTA:s once you feel comfortable.

The chat enables spontaneous comments and feedback. The chat is open to everyone - so use the Q&A if you need things to be anonymous or hidden.

Learn more about using the chat (with tips and tricks).

The Q&A functionality allows you to answer questions in a structured way, where you can either answer in text or in the live video.

The questions are hidden from other attendees - only you as admins can see them - and no one else can see who asked the questions, making it a good choice for keeping it anonymous.

You can answer in text, pin Q&A questions, and make them visible by pressing the eye (still anonymous).

Learn more about the Q&A here.

Break the monotony of a one-way communication using polls. Either to (A) active the audience or (B) collect feedback.

You can launch multiple choice polls, or free text ones. You can prepare them before your webinar, and then press "launch poll" once you're live.

Learn more about using polls (and the different types) here.

All webinars should have a desired next step in mind - whether it's sometimes more implicit (thought leadership) and sometimes more explicit (drive SQLs or booked meetings).

Either way - attendees often need a prompt to take this desired next step. This is where CTAs come in.

You configure the CTA (or multiple) in the right sidebar).

Common next steps are:

Webinar reactions enable presenters to receive immediate feedback from attendees without disrupting or detracting from the presentation.

Reactions are displayed in the bottom right corner of the video player and fades within seconds.
