MyOwnConference Webinar Platform. Your European partner in effortless webinar hosting

No. Attendees join your webinar room directly from any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS. There is no app to install, no plugin to enable, and no account required for viewers. Hosts and presenters work the same way through the browser, with an optional desktop helper available only for corporate networks where standard streaming protocols are blocked. This zero-friction join flow consistently lifts attendance rates by 15 to 30 percent compared to platforms that ask attendees to download software before they can watch.

An automated webinar is a prerecorded session that runs on a schedule, so attendees can join at set times without the host being live. People still watch the presentation in a webinar room, and they can often interact through features like chat, polls, and call to action buttons if you enable them. Automated webinars are useful when you want to deliver the same training or sales presentation repeatedly while keeping the experience consistent for every audience. For instance, a SaaS company might schedule an automated product demo to run three times a day across different time zones, generating qualified leads around the clock. In MyOwnConference, you can upload a recording, set up a recurring schedule, enable simulated live chat, and add timed calls to action that appear at key moments. This approach lets you scale your outreach without repeating the same presentation manually each time.

Webinar analytics are the reports that show how your event performed and how attendees engaged. They can include registration totals, attendance rate, watch time, drop off points, poll responses, chat activity, and clicks on call to action buttons. These insights help you understand what worked, what needs improvement, and who to follow up with, especially for marketing, training, and customer education webinars. For example, if analytics reveal that 40 percent of viewers leave within the first 15 minutes, you can restructure your opening to hold attention longer. In MyOwnConference, the analytics dashboard provides real-time data during the event and detailed post-session reports that you can export for your CRM or marketing tools. Tracking metrics such as average watch time per attendee, peak concurrent viewers, and engagement score by session segment helps you refine your content and measure return on investment across every webinar you run.

Yes, paid webinars are a built-in feature. Connect your PayPal account once during webinar setup, set the ticket price, and the platform automatically gates the webinar room behind a successful payment. Attendees pay through PayPal at registration and receive their join link only after the transaction clears. MyOwnConference takes zero commission, so 100 percent of the ticket revenue goes to your PayPal balance directly from the buyer. For other payment processors such as Stripe, Paysera, Gumroad, or any local gateway, the public API lets you schedule the webinar programmatically, trigger access link delivery only on successful payment confirmation, and integrate with your existing checkout flow. This is how clients run paid masterclasses, certification courses, and ticketed virtual events without giving up a percentage on every seat.

Yes. All MyOwnConference infrastructure runs in EU-based Tier III data centers, personal data is processed under a transparent Data Processing Agreement, and the company itself, Akovana, UAB, is registered in Vilnius, Lithuania and operated within the EU. We sign DPAs with corporate customers on request, retain data only as long as your event lifecycle requires, and provide standard GDPR rights such as access, deletion, and portability for all attendees. Healthcare, finance, and government clients use this compliance footprint as the deciding factor when choosing us over US-only platforms where data residency rules are harder to verify. The attendee data you gather stays yours, and you can take it out whenever you want, either as a CSV or Excel export of the attendee list or through the Public API on Business and Enterprise plans.

They still get into the webinar without missing anything. Most modern browsers support WebRTC, but corporate firewalls, school networks, and some regional ISPs block the UDP traffic it depends on. For these cases MyOwnConference offers DTS (Direct TCP Streaming), a lightweight desktop helper available as DTS.app for macOS and DTS.exe for Windows that streams over standard TCP with SSL encryption. Latency and video quality both match native WebRTC rather than trailing it, and the helper installs in about 30 seconds without admin rights on most systems. For attendees, this means a webinar that works inside hospitals, banks, government offices, and any other locked-down network where UDP-based streaming is commonly blocked.

The biggest differences come down to scale, attendee friction, data residency, and pricing model. MyOwnConference scales from 20 to 2000+ attendees on Business and up to 5,000 on Enterprise, while Zoom Webinars and WebinarJam price by audience tier, so the cost rises as your audience grows. All three competitors prefer or require attendees to use a desktop or mobile app for the best experience, while MyOwnConference runs entirely in the browser with no install, plus offers the DTS fallback for locked-down corporate networks. On data residency, MyOwnConference runs in EU Tier III data centers with a public DPA at /gdpr, while Zoom, Demio, and WebinarJam are headquartered in the United States, so European customers should check where their own data is processed. Pricing is also flat and predictable, a free forever plan for small events, transparent per-month tiers without per-attendee surcharges, and no charge to take payments through PayPal. Companies using us alongside or instead of those tools usually mention three reasons, lower friction for attendees, EU compliance out of the box, and a price that does not balloon as the event grows.
