I noticed the new "Virtual Events" and options for streaming on my GoToWebinar license, but I have not hear a word about the functionality. Can someone direct me to information about how this works and what it is all about?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Fran_Simon
We recently upgraded many accounts to increase the maximum capacity of GoToMeeting sessions, as well as offer Virtual Event services specifically for this purpose:
Attendees will register once for the virtual event regardless of how many or which sessions they plan to attend. Once registered, they can view a countdown to the event, choose to be reminded of a specific session, and more. A full FAQ can be found online here: https://support.goto.com/webinar/help/virtual-events-faqs
Regarding the 'streaming' reference, I believe this is in regards to simultaneous live-streaming onto other platforms, but feel free to post an image of what you're seeing if it is different than this support guide: https://support.goto.com/webinar/help/how-do-i-live-stream-my-webinar-to-other-platforms-like-youtub...
The only thing I can find about Virtual Events is the one-page sales flyer that was part of that email message. Very vague. Here is the link.

I was excited to read about the breakout rooms, however I was hoping that would be just part of the new GoToWebinar.
I am super confused. I thought virtual events were bundled into my GTW account because I see the tab at the top of my dashboard, (I have a pro account for up to 3,000 attendees.) Also, I see a "stream" function available to me as well, but ZERO information about either. That one-pager tells me nothing. SIGH.

After looking at that link that AshC sent, I was still wondering what a Virtual Event was. I found this page that explained what it is. https://support.goto.com/webinar/help/what-is-a-virtual-event
Ash,
How do we get this Virtual Event feature added to our account? I saw the pop up, but it's not enabled on my account or an account that I manage for a client. We'd love to make use of this ASAP! Thanks.
@Leigh Strinsky Some corporate accounts may not have this functionality yet. Can you check the type of GoToWebinar license they have, as well as what options are seen when scheduling a new webinar?
Thanks for your reply, It helps me a lot.
