Running a prep session in webinars

All upcoming webinars begin in a prep session. If you’re the webinar host or cohost, a prep session allows you to run the event with cohosts and panelists before it starts. While in prep mode, the host, cohosts, and panelists retain their respective capabilities, such as unmuting, starting video, and screen sharing.

Running a prep session as a host

Select
Webinar
in the left navigation bar.
Hover over the name of the webinar, then click the
Start
button at the far right. You’ll see
Prep session
at the bottom right, but it will change to
Go live
once the webinar begins.

If you’re running the prep session before the start of your webinar, you can click
Go live
when you’re ready to start the webinar itself, or you can click
End >
End for everyone
once you’re done with the prep session.
Note: If you are conducting the prep session without cohosts or panelists, the button will change to
End > End webinar
.
Once you click
Go live
, you won’t be able to start the webinar again at a different time, so you should only go live if you’re sure you want to start the actual webinar.

Running a prep session as a cohost

If you are a cohost of the webinar, you can run the prep session by clicking

Join as cohost

or the webinar link sent to your email invite.

To start a prep session from the RingCentral app, go to the

Video

menu, hover over the name of the webinar for which you are a cohost, and click the

Join

button.
