Webinars

First up is DemoMode, which is solving one of the biggest pains. This is coming from deep research about understanding the pains of doing webinars. So a lot of people say "I can't demo a webinar internally in my company," or it requires a huge kind of "I need to spend hours setting a demo up, even just to show or teach people how to do a webinar." Or even more important thing, if you want to rehearse a webinar, you can't really rehearse. Well, you can sort of rehearse, but you can't do it with all the camera inputs, with all the speakers and everything else. So with DemoMode in TwentyThree, you can now actually, for the first time, really rehearse. We automatically put your camera on, we put in, people playing out the speakers that you have planned in the webinar. You have your WebinarTray with the full outline so you can actually really run through. We are also simulating chat and participation and all the other stuff. So you actually feel like what it's going to be on that day when you're doing your webinar right. Once again, webinars until now has been requiring this mental model that you would need to model for things in your head and imagine what could be. But suddenly you can actually get that comfort before you run the webinar. Or you can just showcase a great webinar format internally very easily, which before would require six people to be logging into to the software and be doing things in an orchestrated way, etc., right. So an amazing, powerful thing to really take down the barrier of doing webinars. We're also today announcing MixedMode for webinar today. So whenever you're showing something from the WebinarTray, video or slides, you can mix with it. Our focus is really making you not stand in that MixedMode forever, but to be mixing back and forth, going all in on the slides in the video, going back to the full camera and creating something that's engaging, right? Because once again, it's a very little effort that makes a huge difference compared to thinking that the tool just automatically should try to predict what the right mixing is, right? So that's MixedMode. It's the available as of today for everyone and an often requested thing. The last thing we're announcing today is probably the most requested thing we've ever done, and that is all about taking webinars from the single webinar, which is currently the focus of most webinar products, through thinking in episodes or Episodic Webinars. So sometimes you have webinars that are series of webinars. We're going to do seven webinars over the next few months. And that's like a series, a time limited series, that we're running, right? Sometimes you have an ongoing, kind of podcast style series, episodic series that is just ongoing. So whenever you want to sign up to that webinar, you want to just want to sign up, not to a webinar or one webinar, but to this series, right. So today we are finally, and we've been listening, launching Episodic Webinars in TwentyThree. You set them up, you define how it should be, whether it's a time limit series one or whether it's a running one. It's really simple and it gives you all the web tools to deploy it easily and create some beautiful landing pages for the running series or the episodic ones, with all the data integration on the back side to make sure your signups get a notification every time you schedule a new webinar in that series, etc., etc., etc.. So, it's available in preview as of today, and we expect to be deploying it over the new few months. You're all invited to try it out and give the final feedback to get all the small details just right. So that's everything we're doing with webinars.
