Chat
Enable Chat to allow attendees to send messages during the webinar.
Chat can be used for general attendee interaction, comments, and discussions during the live session.

This is useful when presenters want to manage attendee questions separately from general chat.

Handouts
Share files and resources that attendees can download during the webinar.
Offers & CTAs

Joinlive also provides additional engagement capabilities such as surveys and reactions.
Session Reminders
Provides a standard reminder emails for registered attendees.
The available reminders include:
- 24 hours before the session
- 1 hour before the session
- 15 minutes before the session
You can turn individual reminders on or off from the Eventzilla webinar settings.
For additional customization, including editing the reminder content, use Joinlive.
Use Eventzilla to quickly enable or disable the standard reminders. Use Joinlive when you need more control over the reminder copy and advanced webinar communication.
Recording and Replay
You can enable Replay to allow attendees to watch the webinar recording after the live session ends. This is useful for attendees who missed the live session or want to revisit the content later.
Enable Replay
- Go to the Recording & Replay section in your webinar settings.
- Enable Replay.
- Save your webinar settings.
Once Replay is enabled, the webinar session will be recorded and made available to attendees after the live session has ended, based on the configured replay settings.
Note: The recording is captured during the live session. However, the replay may not be available for immediate streaming as the recording requires a few minutes to be processed and prepared for playback.
How Attendees Access the Replay
After the live session is completed and the replay is ready, attendees will receive an email with a link to access the webinar recording.
Attendees can click the link in the email to open and watch the replay. The replay link will become accessible once the recording has finished processing
