# Webinars overview

> Creating webinars and configuring webinar rooms.

Webinars in HoopAI are complete, end-to-end funnels — not just a video room. Each webinar includes a registration page to collect attendee information, a webinar room where the session plays, and optional replay or thank-you pages for follow-up. Registration confirmations, reminders, and post-event sequences run automatically through built-in automation recipes.

## Getting started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a webinar funnel">
    Navigate to **Sites > Funnels** and click **+ New Funnel**. Select the Webinar template to pre-create the standard pages: registration, webinar room, and replay/thank-you.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose live or on-demand">
    Set the webinar type in the funnel settings. A live webinar hosts a scheduled real-time broadcast. An on-demand webinar plays a pre-recorded video as if it were live, running continuously without presenter effort.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure automation recipes">
    Open the webinar funnel's **Actions** menu and click **Edit** to access the Webinar Recipes. Customize the registration confirmation, 24-hour reminder, 1-hour reminder, and post-event replay emails with your own copy and branding.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up the webinar room">
    Configure the webinar room page — add the video source, set the start behavior for on-demand funnels, and enable the chat panel for live events. Preview the room to confirm it loads correctly.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish and promote">
    Publish the registration page and share the URL across your marketing channels. Monitor registrations, attendance rates, and replay views in the Sites Analytics Dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is the difference between a live and an on-demand webinar?">
    A live webinar hosts a real-time broadcast at a scheduled date and time. Attendees register in advance and join at the designated time. An on-demand webinar plays a pre-recorded video as if it were live — visitors register and are immediately directed to the room where the recording plays. On-demand webinars run continuously without requiring a presenter.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What pages does a standard webinar funnel include?">
    A standard webinar funnel contains three pages: a registration page where visitors sign up, a webinar room where the session plays, and a replay or thank-you page shown after the session ends. The replay page is typically where the main conversion call-to-action is placed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What are webinar recipes?">
    Webinar recipes are pre-built automation workflow templates for the most common webinar email sequences: registration confirmation (sent immediately after sign-up), 24-hour reminder, 1-hour reminder, and post-event replay. Each recipe is customizable with your own copy, branding, and additional automation steps.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I track webinar performance?">
    Webinar funnels are tracked in the Sites Analytics Dashboard. Available metrics include page views per funnel step, registration count, attendance rate (the percentage of registrants who joined the room), and total registrations across recurring sessions.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I reuse a webinar funnel for multiple events?">
    Yes. Duplicate an existing webinar funnel rather than rebuilding from scratch for each new event. Update the registration page copy, the session date, the video content, and the automation email dates. The page design, room settings, and recipe structure carry over automatically.
