Webinar Registration Link now leads to my cloud recording?

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.

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? 

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.

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?

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.

Hi Ash, I didn't set the registration limits, it's just what our plan allows, it's a real pain having to download it and re-upload it again, just so that someone who was unable to get a place on the live event can access the recording! Doh! :-(

Hi Jane,
GoToWebinar's registration settings are in a specific area when scheduling the customer webinar under 'Registration Settings'; 'Webinar Size' (Registrant Limit) --- Although I don't believe this can be changed after the event unfortunately.

Hi Ash, I can't change the registrant limit anyway, it's just what our GTT plan allows, we cannot have more than 25 registrants. I'll just upload the recording again and do it that way - it is a bit of a faff though isn't it.

I'm sorry, I thought you were replying to the services originally posted on this thread:  GoToWebinar (which has a capacity of 10x registrations compared to GoToTraining's strict limits).

The same can be said however if you do choose to manually upload the GoToTraining recording yourself, as these can be used indefinitely.

Thanks, that's useful to know, I'll just manually upload in the future, even though it's a PITA! :-)
