Live, Automated, and On-Demand Webinar Formats
Demio supports three webinar types: live events where you present in real time, automated events that replay a pre-recorded session on a schedule, and on-demand events that attendees can watch anytime. Live events include real-time polls, Q&A, chat, handouts, and the ability to bring attendees on stage. Automated events let you set timed interactions — CTAs, polls, and chat prompts — so the experience feels live even though you pre-recorded it. The key limitation: automated and on-demand formats are only available on the Growth plan and above. Starter users are limited to live events only. If your entire strategy is built around evergreen webinar funnels (record once, sell on autopilot), you're locked into Growth pricing from day one. Also, Demio's automated webinars simulate live interaction well, but the chat isn't truly live — attendees can type messages, but responses are pre-set or delayed until you review them later.
