Webinars & Live Events
Webinars and live events your audience can join from any browser
Open days, masterclasses and talks with slides, polls, chat and recording, streamed to YouTube when you want to reach more people. We recommend plugNmeet, set up for you, with a rehearsal and support on the day included in your plan.
A good online event feels easy for everyone: attendees join with one click, speakers know their slides will work, and moderators can keep questions flowing. Afterwards, the people who missed it can watch the recording. Webinars & Live Events gives you the room, the tools to involve your audience and a way to reach a bigger audience on YouTube.
Set-up, training and support included in your plan.
Our pick is plugNmeet, provided by MynaParrot, the technology provider: a branded event room with a waiting room, slides and screen sharing, polls, chat, raised hands and recording, plus a live stream to YouTube or other platforms that accept one. Attendees join from the browser on a computer or phone, with nothing to install. If your organisation already uses BigBlueButton, that's our alternative. MynaParrot provides the technology and can help with hosting, integration and support. We set up your event, with a rehearsal with your speakers, moderator training and support on the day included in your plan.
What your events can do
Our pick: plugNmeet · Alternative: BigBlueButton
- A branded room with your logo and a waiting room for early arrivals.
- Slides, screen sharing and a whiteboard for your speakers.
- Chat, raised hands and polls with live results.
- Moderators who manage the room and the questions.
- A live stream to YouTube or other platforms, while speakers stay in the room.
- The recording as a video file you can publish.
- Live captions and translation as an add-on.
Self-hosting the open-source stack
Most tools we mention are open source — BigBlueButton, plugNmeet, Moodle and others — so you can run them on infrastructure you control. Self-hosting is a broad topic; at a high level it usually involves:
- A server (or cluster) sized for your expected live sessions and recordings
- A domain name and TLS certificates so users connect over HTTPS
- Installing each component from the project's official documentation, then keeping versions updated
- Backups of configuration, course data and recordings, and basic monitoring so you know when something fails

Frequently asked questions
Why plugNmeet?
Because it gives you everything an interactive event needs (waiting room, slides, polls, chat, recording) and streams to YouTube straight from the room, on open-source software. It's our pick.
Do attendees need to install anything?
No. They join from the browser on a computer or phone.
Can attendees ask questions and vote?
Yes: chat, raised hands and polls with live results.
Can we stream to YouTube?
Yes, live, to your own channel or another platform that accepts a live stream, while speakers stay in the room.
How big can the event be?
We plan the right set-up for your audience, from an interactive room to a live stream for a larger audience.
Do you handle registration?
We advise you on registration: usually a form on your own website or the registration tool you already use, with the join link in the confirmation and reminder emails.

Yes, as a video file you can publish on your site.
Live captions or translation?
Available as an add-on with plugNmeet, powered by Gemini from Google.
