Webinar offer a wealth of valuable information that can also become different pieces of informative content to attract new audiences. Utilizing webinar recordings this way can help you to get more out of your effort in event marketing, and create evergreen content that continuously brings value to users.

Why should you edit webinar videos? 

First things first, why do you need to edit webinars? If you are hosting webinars regularly, you should edit webinars to create new content for your website, social media, or other platforms. Editing your webinar recordings can help you to:

  • Improve your content quality: removing filler words like “ums” and redundancies or mistakes can make your webinar go smoothly. Adding visuals, subtitles or background music can help improve the overall quality of the content.
  • Repurpose to create new content: instead of having hour-long videos, consider making clips.
  • Increase engagement: to keep the audience engaged, consider adding interactive elements like polls or quizzes. And with the ability to turn webinars into blog posts, social media posts, or even ebooks, you can get creative and turn webinar into other formats

By editing the video layout, you can create a more streamlined and visually appealing experience for the viewer. Click the Layout button and apply the layout, or you can also change the layout manually by dragging and dropping your speakers or shared screens.
