The term “Webinar” is a combination of the words “Web” and “Seminar”. It refers to an online seminar, conference or even corporate event in which many people can participate, regardless of their location. The realization and broadcasting of this type of event requires the use of specific, high-quality equipment to satisfy all participants. Let's take a look.

What are the advantages of a webinar?

First and foremost, a webinar overcomes geographical constraints. As the meeting, conference or seminar is online, anyone can take part, wherever they are, as long as a good Internet connection is available. This type of event is also more practical during periods of pandemic or war, when it's safer to stay at home. Last but not least, it reduces logistical costs such as transport, food and accommodation for organizers and participants.

What audiovisual equipment do I need to organize a webinar?

Aside from a computer and a powerful Internet connection, you absolutely must have the following audiovisual equipment to guarantee the success of your webinar and the satisfaction of your participants.

‍

·      One or more cameras

A camera is an essential piece of equipment when organizing a webinar, because it's the only way to ensure that participants can see you. Depending on your budget, you can use one or several cameras. The second option is best if you have a control team, as it allows you to broadcast images from different angles of the room, for example.

·      One or more microphones

You also need one or more microphones, depending on your budget and the number of speakers, so that participants can hear you. Make sure the equipment is of good quality to attract and hold your guests' attention, and to provide them with the best possible experience.

·      One or more headsets

If you've opted for an interactive event, you'll need good-quality headphones so you can hear your participants in case of questions, suggestions or remarks. Opt for top-quality equipment to ensure that the event runs smoothly.

·      Lighting devices

It's essential that attendees can see you clearly, especially if you're presenting products, for example. That's why it's always a good idea to use lighting to illuminate the room. But be careful where you place them! They must not blind participants or even speakers.
