Webinar Registration Link now leads to my cloud recording?

Hi Jane,
If you had originally set the webinar registration limits, and used Online Recording to tie the same / original registration preferences to the follow up email with recording link, then all the original restrictions would still apply.

Alternatively, you may upload the recording separately to the My Recordings section, then include that link in the follow-up emails if you wanted to have unrestricted access for Attendees to stream on demand.  You would have to edit the follow-up email setting to include the webinar recording before the email was set to send out-- 1 day should be plenty of time.

I'm having a related problem - when people register to watch the recording I receive an email to 'approve' them, but when I try to it says: 'The number of approved registrants is greater than the attendee limit you have set. You can only approve registrants up to the limit.'

Does this mean that only as many people who can attend the live event can view the recording? If yes, why?

Thanks Tom! I just got off the phone with Jonathan who helped solve the mystery.

There is a setting buried in Webinar History under Recordings that apparently defaulted to "Share recording with new registrants." So people who found the registration link after the webinar ended and clicked on it had the option to register and were then shown the video regardless of whether we chose to publicly share the link or not.

Jonathan showed me how to change that option. I thought I'd post the details here so others are aware of it. It could be a nice feature if you are sure you want to share the video. But otherwise, folks may want to make sure it's not on.  I appreciate your responsiveness. 

Hi Tom, Trying to call now. I did call the support line initially, but was told to share my concerns here. 

Hello Smita, no one should have access to your recordings if you have not shared them and we are unaware of any issues that would allow such a thing.  We would very much like to take a closer look at this situation with you.  Would you be able to call into our technical support so we may take a closer look?

We have only recently started using GoToWebinar and have been tentative about offering our recordings online.

We did record the last two webinars. But we have not yet shared the link for either of them. But I just looked at the recording report and found that both webinars have been viewed by people I don't know and never shared the link with. They also do not have access to our GoTo account. So how did they access the recordings? 

Hi Kim,

After your webinar you can upload your recording to your account and attach it to the follow up email for attendees and registrants that were unable to attend. Another option is share the link from your My Recordings.

 

 

Hey Dotty, if the recordings you're sharing are being hosted by us, then a user will be required to at least enter their first name, last name, and email address to view the recording.   Unfortunately there is no way for you to remove that step in the process.  
If you would prefer that a user is not required to enter in any details prior to viewing the recording, you may consider perhaps the option of uploading the recording to a 3rd party video hosting service such as YouTube or Vimeo and sharing it from there.

Adding a link to my recorded webinar in my own email service provider.

When I tr yot do this, it seems people have to register to watch the replay. They're taken to a registration page and have to add their first and last name and email. 

How do I just simply send my emai list a link to watch the replay? 

Hi Jodi,

The choice is actually yours, it just depends on if you want to gather more registration details than just name and email address. Once your webinar is over you can have the recording linked to the follow up email, that way everyone who registered will receive a link to view it. You can also share a link with anyone that will take them to the registration page before showing them the recording, or just require their name and email address.
