A Webinar provides participants from all over the country the ability to connect with a presenter via their computer and/or telephone. You can view the presentation on your computer screen, or just listen to the audio by telephone. The presenter may show you a PowerPoint presentation or share their Internet browser enabling you to see their mouse move as they click through their website. You will be able to interact with the presenter by (1) typing your comment or question into the type-chat box in the GoToWebinar control panel on your screen; (2) speaking into the microphone built in or plugged in to your computer; or (3) speaking into your telephone.

Registering to Attend an Online Webinar
To register for a webinar, click the registration link provided. On the registration page, enter in your name and email address. Depending on the webinar type, there may be a questions box on the registration page where you can type in your question and submit it with your registration. You will then receive an email from @citrixonline.com which is the company that provides the GoToWebinar services. You will receive an email reminder a day before and on the day of the live webinar. These emails include the link to click to join the webinar on the specificied time and date.

It's okay to join the webinar about 5-10 minutes before the actual start time.  Don't miss out! Make sure you are joining in at the right time - consider YOUR TIME ZONE!

If you do not receive the confirmation email, it may have been placed in your Junk/Spam box or your email provider did not allow it to come in at all. No worries! On the day of the webinar, about 5-10 minutes before the start time, go to the registration page for that webinar. (Many webinars can be found on the Event Calendar page at Workamper.com.) Enter in your name and email address again and submit it. On the page it should display the link to click to join the event.

Preparing for a Webinar
Some webinars will be listen/watch only. Many will be interactive. For example, during Q&A type webinars, the presenter can un-mute an attendee and to hear and discuss the attendee's question live over the webinar. If you would like to have that capability, you will need to either have a microphone plugged in or built in to your computer, or you will need to call in on a telephone. If you are on a slower internet connection, we recommend that you call in on your telephone to insure consistent audio and video.

Note: Most people will not need to make any adjustments with their audio before attending a webinar. If you do not hear any sound once the webinar has started, check the volume setting on your computer to make sure it is not muted or the volume turned way down.

Joining a Webinar
Joining is easy and just takes a few seconds:

Simply click the link in the invitation. You’ll proceed to your session immediately. Just remember to register first if attending a webinar or class.

Alternatively, if you have the session ID but don’t have easy access to the direct link, go to www.joinwebinar.com.

Once there, type or paste the ID provided by the organizer. Click Yes or Always (or Trust on a Mac) if prompted to accept the download. You will enter the session.

On a Mobile Device: First, download the free GoToMeeting app on the App Store, Google Play or Windows store. Once installed, it’s much like joining from a computer. Simply click the link in your invitation email or open the app and enter the session ID.

Attending a Webinar
Once you have joined a webinar, sit back, relax and enjoy! If you have questions during a presentation, you can submit them using the type-chat box provided in the GoToWebinar control panel that will appear on your screen. If time is allotted, the presenter will read aloud any typed-in questions and provide an answer. You can also "raise your hand" to be un-muted and ask your question verbally. Just click on the small button with a hand icon in it.

If your slow internet connection does not allow you to connect on your computer, you can still call in and just listen to the audio over your phone. The phone number and access code are provided in the confirmation/reminder emails you should have received.

Watching a Recorded Webinar
All webinars will be recorded. The availablity of the recording is dependent upon the subject matter.  Recordings can only be viewed by logging in to our website as a Gold, Diamond, or Platinum Workamper member or Intro or Gold Employer member.  The recordings are located in our Media Library and should be viewable on any device just by clicking on the play button on the video.

When you register for a webinar, you'll receive a followup email after the webinar has taken place, and that email will usually include a link to the recording.
