Automated webinar
An automated webinar is a pre-recorded presentation delivered to attendees automatically — on a schedule or on demand — without the presenter being there live.
What 'automated' means here
Automation covers the whole flow: registration, reminders, playing the video, triggering interactions at set points, and sending follow-ups. 'Automated webinar' and 'evergreen webinar' are used almost interchangeably — both describe a recording that runs itself.
Automated vs. live
Live webinars require the host's time every session and cap attendance at one time slot. Automated webinars scale infinitely and run 24/7, at the cost of real-time spontaneity — which real AI chat largely restores.
The chat question
The big difference between automated webinar tools is chat. Some play simulated messages; others (like Presentr) use real AI chat that genuinely answers attendees. Compare options in best evergreen webinar software and best AI webinar platforms.
