Deliver simulive webinars at scale, blend recorded content with live interaction, and create engaging experiences without presenting live every time.

DEFINITION

What is a simulive webinar?

A simulive webinar is a pre-recorded presentation that plays at a scheduled time while attendees interact in real time through chat, Q&A, polls and offers. The presentation is identical every time; the conversation around it is live.

Simulive is short for “simulated live.”
On EasyWebinar, only the presentation is recorded: the people answering questions are real.

WHY TEAMS SWITCH TO SIMULIVE

Stop hosting the same
webinar over and over again

Every live session is a gamble

A shaky connection, a flat delivery or a missed slide can cost the room. Your strongest take should be the one everyone sees.

Your best presenter is the bottleneck

Founders, sales leaders and coaches can’t give the same talk ten times a week, so pipeline stalls when their calendar fills up.

Replay links don’t sell

A recording sent by email has no start time, no one to ask and no reason to act today.

Nobody is there to answer

A recording with an empty chat leaves real questions hanging, and an unanswered objection is usually a lost sale.

One time slot misses most regions

A 10 a.m. Eastern session is late evening in Europe and the middle of the night in Asia.

Everyone gets the same follow-up

The person who stayed to the end and clicked your offer gets the same email as the person who never showed up.

HOW IT WORKS

How to run a simulive webinar
in five steps

Record once. Schedule anywhere. Engage like it’s live.

Describe your webinar and AI drafts the script, registration page, reminder emails and polls, with suggestions for where to place them. A full funnel takes about 10–15 minutes.

Use a session you already ran live on EasyWebinar, which is recorded automatically, or upload one from anywhere else. The version that converted becomes the version everyone sees.

Pick the time zone and session times, choose what appears in the room and when, and connect payments if you're selling.

The session starts on its own. A moderator joins the chat to answer questions, and nobody has to present.

See where attendees dropped off, which offer moment converted and what each session earned, then adjust the next run.

Choosing a simulive platform

Run it live once. Then let it run.

Meeting tools are built for the live hour, and automated-only tools for the recording. EasyWebinar runs live, simulive and evergreen on one platform, one login, one subscription: test your pitch live, rerun the version that converted as simulive, and clone it into a just-in-time or evergreen webinar when you want it running around the clock.

EasyWebinar — Best for: repeatable webinars that sell, proven live and then run on a schedule · Not ideal for: internal meetings, multi-track conferences or courses with lessons · Standout: clone your best live session into a simulive, just-in-time or evergreen webinar in one switch

Simulive on EasyWebinar isn't the right fit if you need…

  • An internal meeting or all-hands tool. Zoom or Teams will serve you better.
  • A multi-track virtual conference with booths and breakouts. Look at an event platform.
  • Courses with lessons, certificates and learner progress. That's a course platform's job.

Choosing a format

Simulive vs live, automated, evergreen and on-demand webinars

Each format trades presenter time against interaction and scheduling flexibility. All five run on EasyWebinar.

Simulive webinar FAQs

Can’t find your answer? Visit the Help Center.

When should I use a simulive webinar instead of a live webinar?

Use simulive when you give the same presentation again and again: demos, lead-generation sessions, onboarding or enrollment webinars. Use live for launches, announcements and one-off events where the presenter needs to react on camera. Many teams do both: run it live until the pitch works, then switch to simulive.

How is a simulive webinar different from an evergreen webinar?

Simulive runs at times you choose, in one time zone, so a moderator can be in the chat for every session. Evergreen runs around the clock in each attendee's local time, with just-in-time starts, instant replays and optional simulated chat. Pick simulive when live answers from a person on your team matter, and evergreen when always-on availability matters more. In both formats, on Pro and above, the AI Moderator can answer attendee questions from the PDFs and files you upload.

Do attendees know a simulive webinar is pre-recorded?

Only if you tell them, and many hosts do. Being upfront rarely hurts, because the part attendees care about is live: their questions get real answers while the session runs.

Do attendees need to download anything to join?

No. Attendees join from a desktop or mobile browser with no app or plugin, straight from the link in their confirmation or reminder email.

How do I make a simulive webinar engaging?

Staff the chat for every session, greet people by name as they join, and time polls and offers to the moments in the recording where energy peaks. Recordings made in front of a real audience also tend to land better than ones recorded to an empty room.

Can I use a recording of a webinar I already ran live?

Yes, and it's the approach we recommend. Live sessions on EasyWebinar are recorded automatically, so the take that converted best can become your simulive session without re-recording. You can also upload a recording made in another tool.

Can I run multiple simulive sessions from one recording?

Yes, as many as you like. Clone Funnels copies the full setup, including registration page, emails and offers, so you can launch the same session for a new date, audience or campaign in a few clicks.

Does EasyWebinar work with my CRM, email tool or checkout?

Yes. EasyWebinar includes EasyCRM, email follow-up and built-in checkout on Growth and above, with integrations for GoHighLevel, ActiveCampaign, Keap, Mailchimp, Stripe, PayPal, SamCart and ThriveCart. Native HubSpot and Salesforce Pardot (Account Engagement) integrations are on Pro and above, and Zapier connects other tools. See all integrations.

Can I see who engaged most during a simulive webinar?

Yes. The Analytics Dashboard shows each attendee's watch time, chat messages, questions and offer clicks, so sales can start with the people who were most interested. Lead scoring from watch time, poll answers and offer clicks is included from Growth, and Pro adds custom weights.

Can I automate follow-up after a simulive webinar?

Yes. For example, no-shows can be invited to the next session, people who clicked an offer without buying can get a reminder, buyers can go straight to onboarding, and your sales team can be alerted about the most engaged leads.

Which EasyWebinar plan includes simulive webinars?

Simulive, automated and evergreen webinars are included on the Growth plan ($116/month, or $96/month billed annually) and above, along with EasyCRM and built-in checkout; the Launch plan covers live webinars only. Pricing is a flat monthly rate with no per-attendee fees within your plan; attendees beyond your plan's limit are billed as overage under our Terms, and every plan starts with a 7-day full-access trial. Compare plans.

Who is simulive on EasyWebinar for, and who should look elsewhere?

EasyWebinar is best for webinars built to sell, live and evergreen: launch live, then run the version that converted as simulive or evergreen on one platform. It is built for webinars that have to produce revenue or pipeline, during the live session and for months after it. If you need a course platform with lessons and certificates, pair EasyWebinar with one. If you need an internal meeting tool, Zoom or Teams is the better fit.

Which industries use simulive webinars?

SaaS companies use them for product demos, healthcare practices for patient education, financial advisors for client seminars, and coaches, course creators and training organizations for enrollment and onboarding.
