How webinar mode works

Webinar mode is a layout decision made when you create the session. In a standard meeting, every participant joins on equal footing — anyone can unmute, share video, talk. In a webinar, two roles are distinct from creation: panellists (a small group with audio, video, and screen-share permission) and audience (view-only by default, interacting only through Q&A and polls). The host does not toggle anything mid-session to enforce this — the layout is set when the webinar is created and applies for the duration.

When you click "Go Live", the panellists you added move out of the Practice Session (their offstage rehearsal room) and onto the broadcast. Audience members join through the registration link and see the panellists on a stage layout — large tiles for the speakers, no grid view, no participant strip. Their own video and mic are off and they cannot turn them on.

The branded registration page

Every webinar comes with an auto-generated registration landing page. You upload your institution's logo and a primary colour once; from then on, every webinar's registration page picks those up. The session title, date, time, and description sit at the top. Below, you pick which fields to collect — name (required), parent contact, class, board (CBSE/ICSE/State Board/IB), area of interest, anything else relevant to the event.

When a parent registers, they get a confirmation email with the join link. The host sees the registration list in the dashboard before the event starts, and exports it as CSV afterwards — registered vs. actually-joined is a simple visible split. Registration data is handled under DPDP Act 2023; the purpose is the webinar, and the data is exportable and deletable on request.

How the moderated Q&A queue works

Audience members type their question into the Q&A panel on the right side of their screen. Other audience members can upvote any question they also want answered — the upvote count is visible to everyone. Questions sort by upvotes, so the most-asked surfaces to the top.

The host (and any co-hosts) see the queue with three actions per question: answer live (the host reads it out and the panel responds), reply privately in text (the asker sees a written answer, the audience does not), or dismiss (removed from the queue, with no public flag). Questions are never auto-published to the audience without host action — the moderator controls the floor entirely.

A special action — bring to stage — temporarily promotes a specific audience member to panellist for the duration of one question, giving them audio (and optionally video) to ask their question themselves. When their turn ends, they return to the audience. This is the single mechanism by which an audience member is heard, and it is host-initiated only.

Audience polls

Three poll formats are available: single-choice (one answer), multi-choice (any number of answers), and word cloud (open-text submission visualised as a cloud, weighted by frequency). You can prepare polls in advance — useful for a structured town hall — or launch them on the fly mid-session if a question from the audience suggests one.

Results appear to the audience after the poll closes, not while votes are still coming in (to prevent the bandwagon effect). All poll responses are part of the post-session CSV export, anonymised by default and tied to registration only if you opted in to that at session creation.

YouTube Live and Facebook Live simulcast (RTMP)

For events where you want a public viewer audience alongside the registered private one — an admissions open day that you also want prospective parents to find through a YouTube search, for example — the webinar can simulcast to YouTube Live or Facebook Live. You generate a stream key on the platform's side, paste it once into the LiveLoop dashboard, and LiveLoop pushes the same broadcast to that platform over RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol — the industry-standard live ingest format both platforms accept).

The interactive Q&A and polls only run inside LiveLoop's registered audience — the YouTube/Facebook side is one-way viewing. Recording can be done either inside LiveLoop (via the recording feature) or on the platform side (YouTube Live archives the stream by default).

Webinars ≠ Moderation ≠ Calendar ≠ Insights ≠ Solution page

Webinar mode touches several LiveLoop features in passing. Each lives on its own page for a reason, and this page deliberately does not duplicate their content:

• Webinars (this page): the broadcast layout — registration page, view-only audience, moderated Q&A queue, polls, RTMP simulcast.
• Moderation: in-session host controls that apply to every meeting (not just webinars) — waiting room, lock meeting, mute all, remove participant. Webinars use moderation; webinars do not own it.
• Calendar: scheduling, recurring URLs, Google + Outlook sync, native ERP-timetable integration. Webinars appear on the calendar; the calendar mechanism lives there.
• Insights: who joined, who spoke, who voted. Observable data only — no AI engagement scoring. Webinars contribute data to insights; the analytics surface itself lives there.
• Instant join: the one-click browser join moment. Audience uses it; this page describes what happens after they're in.
• Corporate training webinars (solution page): the buyer story — who needs corporate training, why, how an L&D head adopts the platform. This page is the mechanism; the solution page is the narrative.

Meeting mode vs webinar mode in detail

Use cases by institution type

K-12 schools (CBSE, ICSE, State Board)

Parent town halls for board-results announcements, fee-restructure communication, principal addresses, and major policy changes. Online admissions open days where the branded registration page also doubles as a lead-capture mechanism for next year's intake. PTAs at the whole-school scale (rather than per-section).

Colleges & universities

Admissions open days for undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Distinguished alumni lectures. IQAC reviews with affiliating university. Convocation addresses. Annual alumni reunions with structured Q&A. Public-facing guest lectures that benefit from a YouTube Live arm.

Coaching centres (NEET / JEE / UPSC / SSC)

Pre-exam strategy sessions delivered to every enrolled student at once. Doubt-clearing sessions where polls quickly identify which topics the cohort is weakest on. Recorded broadcasts of star faculty lectures that the rest of the centre can watch as on-demand content.

Continuing-education & alumni programs

Annual reunions, fundraising round-tables, distinguished lectures, batch-year specific gatherings. The branded registration page is often the institution's first clean refresh of alumni contact information in years.
