WebinarJam Reviews

Browser-based webinar services are sometimes limited in their features, but WebinarJam has everything you need and more to run a successful webinar. Depending on your subscription, you’re able to host an unlimited number of webinars for up to 5,000 attendees in high definition at 1080p, and up to six presenters.

Since webinars can vary in the number of presenters or people in charge of managing them, the platform lets you add several team members. All of this is enhanced by excellent engagement, monetization, automation, and collaboration tools. In addition, you can broadcast your webinars directly to YouTube or Facebook and review the chat history of all webinars for up to 2,000 lines of conversation.

Each webinar has its own schedule requirements, and WebinarJam efficiently addresses this. It provides different scheduling options, including going live right away, setting up recurring or future webinars, and creating rooms available 24/7.

Some webinars are easier to manage than others, and to tackle this, WebinarJam has an intuitive control panel that makes that job easier. It consists of a separate room for someone of your choice to manage the live broadcast.

This provides presenters with the peace of mind needed to conduct presentations without worrying about moderation tasks. The appointed person can perform various actions, such as publishing polls, inviting people to talk, and highlighting announcements.

In addition, the platform provides collaboration features for webinars with multiple presenters, including the option to make real-time edits to the webinar agenda. This is essential to keep a conference flowing without hiccups or unwanted and awkward pauses. Furthermore, there’s a bad word filter to keep your webinars clean.

If there’s a technical issue, all you need to do is press the panic button and WebinarJam creates a new broadcast room, automatically transferring everyone in the original room (including presenters and attendees) to a new one in about 10 to 15 seconds.

We also liked that you can start a live room off-air in a testing environment to make sure everything is ready for broadcasting. When starting off-air, the room expires after 60 minutes, giving you plenty of time to test audio and video and customize the room according to your needs.

Boring and unenthusiastic webinars won’t do much for any company, but with WebinarJam engagement tools, this won’t be a problem. For starters, live injections provide presenters with a way to share and inject documents, polls and surveys, slide presentations, and videos into the conference.

To complement these features, WebinarJam also includes a drawing board, allowing presenters to include mindmaps and handwritten screen annotations on top of slides. Plus, the attendee spotlight allows presenters to bring attendees onto a virtual stage with tools for speaking, sharing screens, and broadcasting their video feed.

WebinarJam also includes monetization features. You can create free or paid webinars and charge for entry on the event’s registration page. But the best bit is how flexible the options for your webinar promotional buttons are. You can customize every aspect of your offer, including broadcasting real-time sales and adding scarcity tactics like countdown timers.

On top of this, we really enjoyed how WebinarJam delivers insights and analytics. It offers easy-to-read and comprehensive traffic and engagement data to track your webinar’s performance, as well as the option to compare webinar success with A/B testing. This includes metrics for registration and show-up ratio, dollar-per-attendee, and average time in live rooms.

WebinarJam allows you to record your webinars with a maximum limit of four hours. Recordings can be set to begin automatically, and you’ll be ready to share your finished webinar right away or later with full replica replays. One helpful feature of the recordings is that viewers can ask you questions long after your presentation is over.

If your webinar is time-sensitive, then you can also add expiration dates to it. Public webinars can be accessed through WebinarJam's on-demand page – a community of over 8,000 other creators.

EverWebinar is the company’s star for on-demand webinars. Although usually provided separately, it’s possible to add this solution to your account from the Basic plan onwards, allowing you to run your recorded webinars on autopilot 24/7.

Finally, you can schedule automated email and SMS reminder notifications for webinars and create custom emails based on attendees’ actions.

When it comes to integrations, WebinarJam has you covered. To contact your attendees, there are a huge number of email autoresponder integrations to choose from, including MailChimp, AWeber, and GetResponse.

For everything else, WebinarJam integrates with Zapier, giving you everything you need to boost your webinar marketing campaign. On top of this, the service offers an API to integrate other tools and services.

Setting up a webinar with WebinarJam is straightforward as the dashboard is intuitive and easy to navigate. When setting up a webinar, you first have to choose between express or full configuration. As the name suggests, the express configuration allows you to create a webinar quickly – in less than a minute, in fact.

Although this is much quicker, you won’t be able to fine-tune every aspect of your webinar like you would with full configuration, which allows you to really add your personal touch. This includes customizing schedules, registration, notifications, integrations, and other aspects of a webinar.

The best part is the professional page builder, letting users create or choose from a list of mobile-responsive one-click webinar registration pages.

It’s important for your webinar to be totally secure. After all, you don’t want unexpected guests or hackers using it as an entry point.

With WebinarJam, it’s possible to enable MFA, keep webinars unlisted and password-protect them to prevent anyone else from joining. Similarly, recorded webinar links are assigned randomly generated and totally unique URLs with over 30 character keys so no one can guess them.

WebinarJam uses SSL/TLS encryption to keep connections secure and all data protected. This includes encrypting passwords, integrations, and API credentials. Last but not least, you can choose to make webinars compliant with GDPR or not.

Since WebinarJam is a browser-based webinar service, you can attend webinars on any device with an up-to-date browser. However, if you’re hosting, WebinarJam recommends using Chrome on a computer for the best possible performance – although you shouldn’t experience any difficulties with Firefox or Safari.

While the service can be described as providing multi-device support, the truth is that since it doesn’t offer a designated app, the experience across devices might not be the same for all attendees.

WebinarJam offers four different plans, with prices starting at $39 per month with the Starter plan. This plan is perfect for small webinars, supporting up to 100 attendees, one host, and one-hour-long webinars. Unfortunately, the pricing isn’t as attractive as some of its competitors.

In addition to increasing attendee and host support and webinar length to two hours, the Basic plan also comes with attendee spotlights and automated webinars for $79 per month.

On the higher end, you can opt for Professional for $229 per month to host 3-hour-long webinars for up to 2,000 attendees with 4 hosts. Alternatively, you can choose the enterprise plan, which costs $379 per month, supporting up to 5,000 attendees, 6 hosts, and webinars as long as four hours.

It’s important to mention that all subscriptions offer unlimited webinars. It’s also possible to choose between monthly and yearly billing cycles, with the latter providing up to a 24% discount. Also, there are other seasonal discounts of up to 30% off, a 14-day trial for $1, and 30% off with an exclusive Best Reviews discount.

WebinarJam accepts payments from all major credit cards, and every purchase comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

That said, the overall opinion of this service’s customer support is mixed, with some users reporting delay and inconsistency issues with the platform and others praising its helpfulness.

Another method for getting help is over social media through WebinarJam's Facebook and X pages. Facebook is perhaps the best contact method, as there is also an official user group where you can get assistance from other WebinarJam users.

The WebinarJam website has an in-depth documentation page that guides you through every aspect of the service. The guides are clearly written and include images and videos, so you’ll have no problem understanding all of WebinarJam's features.

Adding scarcity tactics and a time limit to your offer is also a great way to incentivize your attendees to sign up for your webinars. Thanks to the Zapier integrations, a third-party solution can cover any features missing from WebinarJam.

So, while the service may not be as cheap, powerful, or in-depth as its rivals, in the right hands, it’s flexible and a perfect addition to any business. You can try out WebinarJam risk free by taking advantage of the 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, remember that annual billing cycles come with a generous discount and you can get 30% off this platform with an exclusive discount.
