Now that you are going to host and present your own video, you are probably wondering how you can record a copy of it for further use.
You might want copies of your presentation in order to sell them to your customers. You might want them to use as a promotional tool. You will probably want a copy for your company archives.
Let's talk about how you go about recording your webinar and what tools you'll need in order to do the job properly. There are three basic options available to you.
You can use the build-in-recorder that is part of your GoToWebinar package.
You can use video recording software, such as Camtasia Studio.
You can use a second computer, along with video software, to record with.
Which choice is the best one for you?
The GoToWebinar built-in-recorder is easy and simple to use. It is probably the best choice for you if you are producing your first webinar. You can click the 'start recording' button and, as long as you're using a PC platform, GoToWebinar will save a copy of your webinar when you have finished presenting it. It's that simple! If you want to improve the quality of the recording, remember to set an option to save it as a Windows Media file. You can also reduce your screen resolution so that the recording file is reduced in size.
You can increase the quality of your recording by using video production software like Camtasia Studio. This takes a little more technical ability and a little more work but it produces audio and video quality that is much better.
You need to have the software before you can use it; luckily Camtasia Studio has a 30 day free trial period, so you don't need to pay for the software until you are sure that it works well for you. If you are using the Camtasia Studio software to record your webinar, all you need to do is hit the record button as you begin.
One drawback to using Camtasia Studio is that it is only going to pick up your audio; it will not record any one else speaking in the webinar. If you are having the audiences participate in things like question and answer sessions you will need to join under a second computer and record from Camtasia Studio with it. That way you will record all of the audio from everyone speaking in the webinar.
When you present your webinar and want to record it, remember these three ways that you can do it.
The easiest solution is to use the GoToWebinar built-in-recorder; all you need to do is push a button.
If you are after better audio and video quality, use video production software such as Camtasia Studio. This is more work and more technical but gives better results. Remember that it only records your audio.
You can also join under a second computer while using Camtasia Studio in order to record the audio of everyone who participates in the webinar.
It is easy and simple to make a copy of your webinar so that it is available for future use.
