What is an evergreen webinar, and how does it work?
An evergreen webinar is a pre-recorded webinar that plays as if it were live at scheduled times. People register for a showtime, get reminders, and watch with chat, polls and offers appearing on cue. It lets one strong session run every day without the presenter, which is why it is also called an automated webinar.

What is the difference between live, evergreen and on-demand webinars?
Evergreen (automated)
A recording played as if live at set times. Viewers join at the point the session has reached.
Just-in-time
An evergreen webinar that starts a few minutes after each person registers.
On-demand
A recording that plays from the start whenever the viewer arrives, more like a video.

How does an evergreen webinar work?
Record the session
Record a live webinar or a session made for the purpose.
Set showtimes
One premiere, recurring times, or just-in-time after each sign-up.
Add the moments
Polls, offers, handouts and chat placed at set points of the recording.
Automate the emails
Confirmation, reminders before the showtime and follow-ups after it.
03 / 05
Do evergreen webinars work?
They work best for content that doesn't change week to week: a masterclass that leads to a course, a product demo, an onboarding session. They are weaker for news, launches and anything that depends on a live conversation.
Be honest with viewers. Calling a replay "live" when it isn't can cost trust; many hosts say it is a recorded session and answer questions by email or with AI.

How do you make an evergreen webinar feel live?
- Let viewers join at the current point instead of the start.
- Show the offer at the same moment you made it live, with a countdown.
- Seed chat with real questions from the original session.
- Release handouts when the presenter mentions them.
- Answer new questions by email, or with an assistant that answers from your material.
