Create a seamless viewing experience for your webinar series or promote upcoming events in your Wistia Channel.

For a detailed overview of Wistia Channels, check out this article.

On your webinar overview page, open the ellipsis menu and select “Add to Channel”.

In the “Add to Channel” pop-up modal, select an existing Channel or create a new one.

Click “Add as draft” to add the webinar to the Channel in a draft state, or “Publish event” to publish it immediately.

You can also add a webinar directly from a Channel. On the Channel's Manage page, click "Add" > "Add live event," then choose a webinar from the picker. Webinars added this way will be in a draft state by default.

Completed webinars are added to a “Live Events” section in your Channel. You can rename this section, but you can't move webinars to other sections in the Channel.

Only scheduled or completed webinars can be added to the Live Events section. Regular uploaded videos and recordings must be added to a standard Channel section instead. If you want a completed webinar's recording to appear elsewhere in the Channel, add the media to a regular section separately.

You can change the order of webinars in the section. This also changes the order viewers see in the public Channel.

You can only change a webinar's publish status from the Channel overview page. To edit the webinar's title, description, or thumbnail, open the webinar's overview page.

To preview your public Channel, click “View Channel” in the ellipsis dropdown menu.

Published webinars are displayed with the event thumbnail, title, scheduled time, and labeled as “Upcoming”, “Live”, or “On-Demand” (if on-demand viewing is enabled).

Viewers will be directed to the event room or the registration page if registration is enabled.

When a webinar is completed, it stays in the Channel and is labeled "On-Demand" until you remove it. Clicking the on-demand webinar takes viewers to the registration page (if enabled) or directly to the recording.

If on-demand viewing is disabled, viewers will see the registration page with a note that the event is closed.

You can add as many webinars as you'd like to a single Channel, but each webinar can only live in one Channel.

No. If a viewer presses "Play" or "Resume" in the header, the first available media plays, and webinars are skipped.
