Hello GoTo Webinar Community!
In addition to the new registration page making its debut in September, we have another update to highlight.
In-Player Transcripts for GoTo Webinar Recordings
To enhance your experience when watching recordings of GoTo Webinar sessions, we’re excited to introduce transcripts directly within the video player. Previously, transcripts were only available outside the video, making them inaccessible during full-screen playback. With this update, you can now follow along with the spoken content as you watch—making it easier to engage with your videos. This improvement also advances our commitment to accessibility, helping us make GTW sessions available to a wider audience.
Details
Below are the main changes that are being introduced:
- Registrant View: Transcripts are now embedded in recorded videos viewed by session registrants.
- Organizer View: Transcripts are also available when organizers play GTW recordings from their dashboard.
- Enhanced Transcript Format for managing large content:
- Transcripts are divided into manageable segments for better readability.
- Each segment is no longer than 300 characters.
- Each segment covers up to 10 seconds of audio.
- Segments are split at natural language boundaries for a smooth reading experience.
Note: This release is available for all GoTo Webinar users. Currently, it supports Tablet and Desktop devices. Mobile device support is planned for a follow-up release in early Q4.
