Technical Issues

Technical issues are common problems for webinars that have been and will always be present. While it is not possible to predict every possible outcome, most technical issues are preventable. Simply checking everything beforehand will greatly improve your odds of a webinar running smoothly. Test and retest every piece of equipment and system that you are going to use. The days leading up to a webinar can be stressful, and it is easy to overlook something in the testing. Make a checklist to keep you from forgetting to test anything.

Common Things to Test:

• Login (it is often complicated or not working),
• Microphones,
• Video equipment,
• Links (make sure they are not broken).
