HenrikT1Q: Hi Karolina & Szymon, A.
If I do one live webinar, and record it (I then edit it on my mac) and upload it to say, 1 hour evergreen webinar. How often can I set it to run?
A.1. - Would it run every time someone click and chose "watch next (evergreen-)webinar" say each 15 min?, or would it be 1 time per one hour due to the webinar being 1 hour long?
A.2. - If its for every one who click the "watch the (evergreen-)webinar", what is the limit for the individual attendees?
A.3. - What if ex. 1.000 click "watch" whit in one hour - will all get access to the/ an (evergreen-)webinar whit in say 5 or 15 minutes, so in reality that is like more or less 1000 separate individual evergreen-webinar streams?
What are the "limits" of evergreen webinars running at the same time / started before another is finished?
And if I have this one evergreen webinar say 1 hour duration, and it starts whit in ex.15 minutes of someone clicking "watch" - would this allow for it to go off every 15 minutes, so in reality I would have like 96 evergreen webinars playing per 24 hours, if someone tricker the "watch (evergreen) webinar"? What happens if 500 clicks "watch (evergreen) webinar" say every half hour?
Please lay out how it works if there is limits/ how they are. - It is bit theoretical, as I do not have a need right now, know. But I am working on a launch for next year, and would like to have my tech stack in order and ready.
As I missed your offer last time around and also do have an EverWebinar account (Ltd form early days) but missed out on their Evergreen Ltd offer (if they ever dit an ltd on that), I bought the Webinarkit. front offer + oto1 & 2, and was looking in to getting their white label (own domain)
- But it seems your offer (tier 3 also got own domain included besides also offering higher / better res video :-) So I am very tempted to get your offer.
B. I was a bit worried as it seemed that you had a very slow if any progress and also now coming back to AppSumo, which as I get it is more about reach (bigger community) than getting liquidity, - so could you address these concerns - as If i was to use it right away it would not matter (I would get value worth the cost whit in a short time) but as I properly wont get around to use it whit in 8-12 month, your financial state if week could render my investment lost.
Kind regards

May 14, 2024A: Hi Henrik,
Follow up to your questions:
A. If you are asking about using the recording you have already edited on your mac for evergreens, it's only possible by uploading that to your YT/Vimeo account and set it up as public. It's also possible to use for evergreens recordings made on LW.
We do not limit how often it can be set up. You are only limited with the number of evergreens you are able to schedule at once on your board.
A1. If it's set up as Just-in-time event, each user will start it from the very beginning.
A2. You are limited with the room capacity assigned to your AppSumo plan.
A3. If you have for example AppSumo 500, the maximum number ofusers allowed to be watching your evergreen at the same time is 500.
"What are the "limits" of evergreen webinars running at the same time / started before another is finished?"
As mentioned above you are limited with the number of evergreens that can be scheduled on your board. AppSumo 100 - 1, AppSumo 200 - 2 and etc. However when one is over you may set up another one. If you want to have more than one evergreen run at the same time, then you need to add concurrent sessions (starting from 6 codes).
Nevertheless how many users will be watching your evergreen, starting in different hours, it's been still counted as one evergreen and one live session.
Hope it's more clear now :)
However if you have any more questions, please let us know. We'll be happy to answer :)
Best Regards,
Karolina
Hi Karolina,
Super thanks for your fast reply :-)
As I am not totally sure if I got you right please expand a bit:
So
1. I got several private video server accounts (bought her on AppSumo with & whiteout content protection)
- But if I get you right, I can’t use them for storing the pre-recorded videos for my ‘evergreen webinars’
- I have to use either YT or Vimeo - and here I even have to set it up as public to work with LiveWebinar…
1.A. So I can’t use other than YT or Vimeo, and they have to be set s public,
- Or was that just to exemplify - and I can use any video server ex. with anti copy etc protections (such as ex. bought her on AppSumo)?
When you refer to set "it" up, I take it that you are referring to the "manual settings I do in the backend" so the "evergreen webinar" runs automatically for a say, just-in-time event, every time someone signs up?
- If so, then I can "set it up" so if I ex. buy 4 codes, I can set it so, if someone signs up to attend a "evergreen webinar" (with a duration of say 55 min.) then this person will get "added" to and get access to the next "evergreen webinar" that starts. And if I got the 4 codes I can set them to start every 15 minutes. So the longest waiting time will be 15 min. (off cause as long as there are free slots and it is not fully booked up). Yes?
So I can do an "set and forget" and it will just work, starting a new "replay" every 15 minuts 24/7/360 (off cause only if & when theres someone who have signed up and are attending)
- But I don't need do further to keep it running. - Until I stop it or ex. set up an new "evergreen webinar", Or is there an maximum number for "reruns" or days..?
Kind regards
Henrik
Hi Henrik,
Yes, that's correct. In evergreen webinars you may use only recordings stored on:
- YT (set up as public)
- Vimeo (set up as public)
or recordings solely made on LW and kept in your LW recordings folder.
Each person joining your evergreen webinar will be watching it from the first second. It's just like turning on TV to start a movie and it works the same for other people joining that evergreen webinar. It will be over only after the last person leaves a room.
However please remember that all evergreens are counted as a live session so if you have someone on evergreen room you are not able to run another session.
If you set up your evergreen as just-in-time event you don't need to do anything to keep it running but there is a risk that you will have your session busy all the time so it's advised to have more than 1 live session - starting form 6 codes you can get 2 additional concurrent sessions.
Hope it answers your questions :)
Best Regards,
Karolina
Hi Karolina,
Thanks for your answers.
Ok, I get it:
1. I can't "shield" a prerecorded video to be used in a evergreen webinar. As you only accept uploaded videos to YT / Vimeo and here need to be set as "Public".
2. If someone signs up to and access a evergreen webinar that has the duration of say, 1 hour, then everyone else "cant access" a evergreen webinar but need to wait till that evergreen webinar is over. So I can "risk" that only one person watches the evergreen webinar per hour.
- So worst case this will mean 24 "watchers" per 24 hours, right? - Off cause, if say 100 signs up and access each webinar set to run each an hour, then it would be 100 x 24 = 2.400 ppl who have "wartched" per 24 hours
- Rigth?
3.A. If I wanted to create a setup that enables me to let an evergreen webinar (of 1 hour duration) start say, every 15 minute, then I would need to buy 4 separate codes and create / set up my own "middle ware" between the sign up and each of the 4 different accounts, yes?
(account no 1. starts the evergreen video at 0:00.
account no 2. starts the evergreen video at 0:15.
account no 3. starts the evergreen video at 0:30.
account no 4. starts the evergreen video at 0:45. )
3.B. - I get that I then don't get the benefits of a 1 x 4 stack code, but I would be able to set it up (using my own middle-ware to distribute the "sign up" to the closeted to start evergreen webinar) to start an one hour long evergreen webinar (if I set the participators interaction options to end at the same one hour) Yes?
KInd regards
Henrik
Hello Henrik,
I'll answer your questions this time :)
1. We're currently working on implementing a function that would allow viewing Vimeo videos that are set as "access per link only". The link would be visible only to our platform.
2. What Karolina has meant is that a video in Evergreen is being played like a movie on the television. It gets played at a specific time, everybody can watch it, but if they're late - they will only see half of the movie. There's no limitation to the number of people watching the Evergreen other than the room capacity defined by the account's plan.
3a If you were to play 4 sessions at a time (overlapping events) then yes - you'd need to buy at least 7 codes that would give you 5 concurrent sessions.
3b Sorry, I don't get that one. Would you explain it one more time?
I hope this helps :)
Hi Krzysztof,
Thanks for your fast relpy :-)
1. Superb, got that. "Access per link only, is quite ok".
- As I am planing for a launch (including a webinar + evergreens thereafter) to go live in second half next year (around 8-10 months form now) it sounds that such a feature properly could be ready then?
2. Cool, got that.
(thou the TV analogy, has become somewhat "prone" as most "television providers" & manufacturers integrates a "record last 15 min."/ "start over" for movies & shows that has already started.. (So perhaps even half of ppl reading this will misunderstand the meaning, so not a really good analogy going forward).
3A. Ok, not 4 but 7 codes to enable 4 overlapping sessions (of 1 hour duration) then, got it :-)
3B. No problemos, was mostly an going "one dig" deeper in 3A. as I got that Karolina, answers a bit more wide/ abstract (I guess to make the answers work for a wider audience than the question asker...)
- You have already answered the question in your reply to # 3.A., this was mostly kind of conclusion to 3.A. :-)
But the 3.B. got otiose as, form your answer above - I see I can achieve what I want to by as you pointed out getting 7 codes..
- as I see that from tier 7and up the software actually does exactly that : enables minimum 4 (even 5) evergreen webinars to run at a time / overlapping - Yes?
Kind regards
Henrik
Dear Henrik,
1. I cannot promise anything yet, but 8-10 months seems to be pretty doable :) You can always pop us a message at support@livewebinar.com and ask how things are going.
2. Sorry, we've tried our best here. We were rather referring to the old school type of television :)
3a. Yes, that's correct.
3b. 6 codes unlock 3 sessions, while 7 codes unlock 5 concurrent sessions - you've mentioned that you'd require four overlapping events, but as there's nothing in between I'd suggest getting 7 codes for that one extra session in case it's needed :)
