What is webinar software?

Webinar software is an online tool that helps you plan, host, and manage virtual events such as trainings, presentations, workshops, and company updates. It gives you a place to stream video and audio, share slides or your screen, and interact with attendees through chat, polls, and Q and A. Many options also let you run live sessions or automated events using prerecorded content, often right in the browser. Most webinar software includes registration, reminders, and reporting so you can see who attended and how people engaged during the event. MyOwnConference is an example of webinar software

Do attendees need to install anything?

No. Attendees join your webinar room directly from any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS. There is no app to install, no plugin to enable, and no account required for viewers. Hosts and presenters work the same way through the browser, with an optional desktop helper available only for corporate networks where standard streaming protocols are blocked. This zero-friction join flow consistently lifts attendance rates by 15 to 30 percent compared to platforms that ask attendees to download software before they can watch.

What is an automated webinar?

An automated webinar is a prerecorded session that runs on a schedule, so attendees can join at set times without the host being live. People still watch the presentation in a webinar room, and they can often interact through features like chat, polls, and call to action buttons if you enable them. Automated webinars are useful when you want to deliver the same training or sales presentation repeatedly while keeping the experience consistent for every audience. For instance, a SaaS company might schedule an automated product demo to run three times a day across different time zones, generating

What are webinar analytics?

Webinar analytics are the reports that show how your event performed and how attendees engaged. They can include registration totals, attendance rate, watch time, drop off points, poll responses, chat activity, and clicks on call to action buttons. These insights help you understand what worked, what needs improvement, and who to follow up with, especially for marketing, training, and customer education webinars. For example, if analytics reveal that 40 percent of viewers leave within the first 15 minutes, you can restructure your opening to hold attention longer. In MyOwnConference, the analy

Can I run paid webinars and accept payments?

Yes, paid webinars are a built-in feature. Connect your PayPal account once during webinar setup, set the ticket price, and the platform automatically gates the webinar room behind a successful payment. Attendees pay through PayPal at registration and receive their join link only after the transaction clears. MyOwnConference takes zero commission, so 100 percent of the ticket revenue goes to your PayPal balance directly from the buyer. For other payment processors such as Stripe, Paysera, Gumroad, or any local gateway, the public API lets you schedule the webinar programmatically, trigger acce

Is MyOwnConference GDPR compliant?

Yes. All MyOwnConference infrastructure runs in EU-based Tier III data centers, personal data is processed under a transparent Data Processing Agreement available at /gdpr, and the company itself, Akovana, UAB, is registered in Vilnius, Lithuania and operated within the EU. We sign DPAs with corporate customers on request, retain data only as long as your event lifecycle requires, and provide standard GDPR rights such as access, deletion, and portability for all attendees. Healthcare, finance, and government clients use this compliance footprint as the deciding factor when choosing us over US-

What happens if my attendees can't access WebRTC?

They still get into the webinar without missing anything. Most modern browsers support WebRTC, but corporate firewalls, school networks, and some regional ISPs block the UDP traffic it depends on. For these cases MyOwnConference offers DTS (Direct TCP Streaming), a lightweight desktop helper available as DTS.app for macOS and DTS.exe for Windows that streams over standard TCP with SSL encryption. Latency stays under three seconds, video quality matches native WebRTC, and the helper installs in about 30 seconds without admin rights on most systems. For attendees, this means a webinar that works

How does MyOwnConference compare to Zoom Webinars, Demio, and WebinarJam?

The biggest differences come down to scale, attendee friction, data residency, and pricing model. MyOwnConference includes up to 5,000 attendees on every paid plan, while Zoom Webinars and WebinarJam tier this aggressively, charging more as your audience grows. All three competitors prefer or require attendees to use a desktop or mobile app for the best experience, while MyOwnConference runs entirely in the browser with no install, plus offers the DTS fallback for locked-down networks where Zoom typically fails. On data residency, MyOwnConference runs in EU Tier III data centers with a public
