The Hybrid Webinar is a pre-recorded webinar that only happens on a specific date and time. This gives the feel of a Live Event with the convenience of an Automated Webinar.
Setting up your Hybrid Webinar Page
- Go to Campaigns, then select the relevant Campaign you want to add your webinar to.
Click on + Add New Page.

- Once opened, go to Event Content and then click on Video in the left sidebar panel.
