For the audio connection: A computer with RealPlayer or Windows Media Player installed.

1010 Steps for Planning a Steps for Planning a Successful WebinarSuccessful Webinar1) Ask yourself (and others) whether a webinar is the right

tool for your needs. When determining whether a webinar is the best medium for your needs, consider your audience, the subject matter, and the time you'll need to cover your topic.

2) Recruit speakers and a support team.

Once you've decided that a webinar is the right tool for you, you'll need to assemble a team of staff members or volunteers to help you run it. In general, there are four main players in a webinar: the organizer/facilitator, the presenter or presenters, and assistants.

3) Determine the format:- webinar can be structured in a variety of formats to suit different purposes.

4) Plan your visuals. Plain slides with a lot of text don't work as well as interesting visuals that illustrate the topic being discussed.

5) Pick a tool. There are dozens of Web conferencing tools out there, offering a variety of features tailored to different need.

A few days before your webinar, you should schedule at least one 30- to 60-minute run-through with all participants to work out any unresolved questions or technical issues.

8) the webinar tool you choose will determine the type of equipment you'll need to run it. In general, you will want to have the following: Headsets, A power cord, A network cable.

9) Set up a system for registering attendees and determine your price structure. Before you begin marketing your webinar, determine what tool you will use to register attendees

10) Publicize! It is important to get the word out far and wide about your upcoming webinar, especially if you're planning to charge for it.

Disadvantages of Disadvantages of WebinerWebiner

webinar is the fact that distraction is very easy. because people have different learning styles. Some

of us learn through visuals, some learn through audio and some learn through tactile experience. Webinars neglect people with hearing loss or no sound on their computers (unless the webinars are conducted by phone).

they do provide an interactive forum that is similar to a live presentation, without the time or costs associated with traveling to the event.
