Registration: Where to Hold a Webinar
To start working with MyOwnConference, you need to create a trial account. To create a trial account, click on «Host a meeting.» There are two registration options: 1) register with your name and email; 2) register with your Facebook or Google account.
First steps in your control panel
First of all, we advise you to change the password. Go to the Profile section and press the «Change Your Password» button. Put your new password two times and save it.
In the same section, you can adjust the language of your control panel. Currently, the available languages are English, Spanish, French, Ukrainian, Polish, and Russian.
In the «Profile» section, be sure to set the correct time zone. Mailing campaigns and webinar start times depend on this setting.
Choose the preferred payment system.
Here, you can also put the details of the legal entity further to receive proper payment documents for your financial department.
After registration, you will receive an email with a link to your webinar control panel. You may also sign in to the control panel via this link: cp.mywebinar.com.
How to Enter a Webinar Room
Once you enter the webinar control panel, you may skip the planning phase and hold your event immediately. Just click on «Open» to go to the existing webinar room.
Some settings can be adjusted in a webinar room: you may upload files, create polls, copy links to invite participants, change presenter settings, etc.
How to Create and Schedule a Webinar
Click on the «Schedule a webinar» button to plan your event.
Here you may also review your schedule and plan the next webinars.
Pressing on the Schedule a webinar menu item will open a window for planning your future webinar. Here you can name your event, write a description, choose a time, date, and duration, and invite presenters and attendees.
Note: Duration is the approximate duration of your webinar, and you use it only for scheduling purposes. The meeting will not end after this length of time.
You may also select «Additional settings» for a webinar. Open the Visual tab to change the style of the webinar room: the room and text colors, the webcam position, the logo, and the banner. You may also choose to display or hide the attendee list, chat, and buttons to «Ask a question» or «Ask to speak.»
Go to the «Recording» tab to adjust how your webinar room shows in the recording. You may choose to record only the webcam and microphone; webcam, microphone, and materials area; everything in the room or its specific elements, such as the attendees’ list, moderator name, and chat.
The «Login page» tab is where you can alter the webinar entry window. For instance, you may allow login with a social media profile. You may also choose to display the webinar date, title, description, moderator names, and the number of available seats.
In addition, you may choose to use analytics such as Google Analytics to obtain more information about participants and assess the effectiveness of webinar promotion.
Finally, with the «Emails» tab, you can set up a reminder system for your webinar. By default, participants will receive four letters: 3 days before the webinar, one hour before the webinar, and one last email after the webinar has finished.
How to Add Attendees to a Webinar
You can add or invite attendees to the webinar in the «Attendees» section.
To add or invite attendees:
1. Click on «New attendee.»

You can add both new and previous attendees to your webinar. To add previous attendees, you may use the following nifty filters:
1. Attendee status (active, inactive, banned).

Inactive — these attendees have unsubscribed and, thus, will not get any emails.
Banned — these attendees have been blocked during one of your webinars.
2. Attendees group.
3. Visited webinar/ didn’t visit.

Please note that every moderator takes one spot in a webinar room.
How to Add Documents for a Webinar
You can add documents for a webinar from a webinar room.
