Live Chat & Q&A

Engage attendees in real time with public chat, private messages, moderator controls, highlighted comments, and on-screen Q&A polls. Easily field questions and spotlight audience members on stage.

Automated Recordings (Replica Replay)

Automatically record every live session in HD. Replica Replay synchronizes chat, polls, and offers exactly as broadcast, creating on-demand replays you can schedule or embed for evergreen events.

Flexible Scheduling

Choose from four webinar types: start immediately, schedule one-off events, set recurring series, or reserve an always-on branded room. Managing registrations and reminders is a few clicks away.

Registration Page Builder

Design mobile-responsive registration pages with drag-and-drop templates, brand styling, video embeds, and A/B split testing. Capture registrant details and integrate via SMTP or autoresponder.

Email & SMS Reminders

Set up automated email sequences and SMS texts (via Twilio) to remind registrants before and after webinars. Customize messages based on attendee behavior—no-show, early leave, attended fully—to maximize follow-up.

Active Offers

Display time-sensitive, clickable on-screen offers during your presentation. Attendees click through to buy instantly—no broken links or delayed checkout disrupting momentum.

Slide, Video & Whiteboard

Upload PDF, PowerPoint, or Keynote slides ahead or on-the-fly. Broadcast live webcam, screen share, or pre-recorded videos. Use the built-in whiteboard to annotate and illustrate concepts live.

Analytics & Engagement Reports

Monitor traffic sources, registration rates, attendance curves, engagement metrics, and revenue per registrant. Drill into attendee behavior—join/leave times, chat activity, offer clicks—to refine future events.

Team Access & Control Center

Delegate hosting tasks with a separate Control Center. Grant team members moderator access, chat management, analytics dashboards, and replay controls without sharing main account credentials.
