In VLOG #032, Paul Richards reviews how you can use the free live streaming services from Facebook and YouTube to host free webinars. Webinars are considered "Web Seminars" and provide a platform for businesses to broadcast their messaging to the world. Services such as GoToWebinar and Cisco Event Center charge $1,000's for webinar services which we compare in this video.

We stopped using services GoToMeeting, WebEX and Zoom Webinar for a long time now, because they charge way too much money and reduce our overall ability to reach new audiences. In this blog post, I will review our tried and true method for hosting free webinars on the YouTube Live or Facebook Live platforms with the video conference software of your choice.

Benefits of hosting webinars on Facebook/YouTube Live:

Boost Total Viewers - World’s second largest search engine (YouTube) with unparalleled audience size.
Audience Retention - Reduce the time it takes attendee’s to get started (no download needed) means they will have more time for what’s really important… your presentation.
Repeat Attendance - YouTube is built for building communities. There is no better platform for growing your subscriber base.

What you need to set up free webinars with unlimited participants:


A computer with i5 processor (i7 Recommended… Latest Intel NUC’s work great!)
A Dual Monitor setup
A webcam and microphone (HuddleCam and HuddlePod Air suggested)
A Skype account
A YouTube account
Free Streaming Software (Open Broadcaster Software)

As you can see this setup is fairly simple and many of our customers already have most of this equipment in their conference spaces. The dual monitor portion is perhaps the most important because our setup will rely on a screen capture of our Skype session.

Defining “Webinar” or “Web Seminar”

If you search wikipedia for “Webinar” you are directed to “Web Conferencing” as an “umbrella term” for web seminars. If you search wikipedia for “live streaming” you are directed to “Streaming Media” described as audio visual media presented to an end user while being delivered by a provider. So we are combining the worlds of “web conferencing” and “streaming media” to achieve free, scalable webinars for the world. A BIG thanks should go out to Facebook and Google who are fronting the bill for all the world’s future streaming needs, even if the offer includes ulterior motives (a conversation for another time).
