Many of our customers are moving away from doing a “live demonstration” portion of a webinar and instead play a video that was “pre-recorded”. There are definite pros and cons to each of these approaches:

 A live demonstration (application sharing) gives you FLEXIBILITY.

Flexibility to meet the needs/questions of the lives audience.

Flexibility to manage time allotment – being able to demonstrate more or less depending on what time is available.

Flexibility to “go back” and show it again or go in more depth if needed.

Flexibility to application share anything on your desktop.

A recorded demonstration gives you PEACE OF MIND.

Peace of mind that the presenter does not need to be on a “great internet connection” or even logged into the “network” during the live webinar.

Peace of mind that there is no “delay” in the “refresh rate” and thus the video will appear to run smoother.

Peace of mind that you know how long the demo takes, covered everything, and didn’t make any “mistakes”.
