Overview
Webex Webinars is Cisco’s webinar product, part of the Webex collaboration suite that also includes meetings, calling and events. The webinars plan includes unlimited webinars; registration with custom branded pages and automated emails; live, simulive and on-demand streaming; practice sessions; attendee moderation; breakout rooms; speaker management and content sharing; CRM integrations with Salesforce, Eloqua and others; and closed captions and translation.[7]
Capacity is offered in tiers of 1,000, 3,000, 5,000, 10,000 and more than 10,000 attendees, although the pricing page does not map tiers to plans and the base plan’s feature list specifies up to 1,000 attendees.[7] For organisations that already run Webex meetings or calling, webinars sit under the same vendor and administration. An optional Real-Time Translation add-on translates sessions from English into more than 100 closed-captioned languages for US$300 per licence per year, with a 15-day free trial.[7] The main limitation is price transparency: the webinars plan itself is sold through sales, so smaller teams cannot compare cost without a quote.
