With our custom fields feature you can ask any number of questions and forward those answers to your own CRM for further segmentation as you need it.

We have 3 types of custom field boxes.

Ask as many or as few data questions as you want from your webinar registrants.

As a use case for this ConvertKit, and EasyWebinar user uses this feature to ask participants how many email contacts they currently have.

System Upgrades

Internet stability indicator:  Presenters and views both get an internet speed slow indicator. “Internet is unstable”.  This will be helpful in allowing your participants to see that their system is strong enough to receive a live stream flow.

HLS Streaming Servers: When our system indicates that a viewers internet is not capable of receiving a strong audio and video signal it changes them over to a server that sends a lower resolution signal. This is great when everyone is on the same server, but with different computers and internet speeds.

HLS is a delayed system so those participants who need this signal will be delayed by a few seconds.

Adding the HLS streaming to our services will stop the buffering of video and audio from slower internet participants.

System Server Optimizations – A live webinar is a complex beast. There is the original video and audio signal of the presenter, Any additional video and audio signals from co-presenters, the chat file, participant responses and tagging back to CRM.  That’s a lot of data flowing back and forth during even one live webinar.

We split these actions into their own distinct server activity so things will move much smoother. Previous to this change all of that data flowed through one server.

Breaking up these data points enabled us to provide you with a much smoother experience during your live webinars.

And all of this was only in the first couple of weeks of the year. Imagine what can be done in the future.
