How to record a webinar in four simple steps

Record a webinar on a Mac or PC automatically, or control recordings manually in four easy steps:

1. Start your session

While in session, start the broadcast and share your screen.

3. Stop your recording

When you’re finished, select Stop Recording in the Screen Sharing pane. It is that easy!

2. Set up your recording

GoTo Webinar has recording abilities built in so there is no need to download an external screen recorder. Simply click Start Recording (Windows) or Record (Mac) to begin the recording of your screen. If you’re recording locally, you’ll need at least 5 GB of available hard drive space.

4. Edit and share the recording

When you end your webinar, you will be directed to your Video Library. Once the video is done saving, click on the video dropdown to download, edit, or share it.

...or plan ahead with scheduled webinars

Reduce stress with recorded webinar content that feels like a live event.

Automate everything

Recorded Events simplifies the webinar experience by automating the entire event. Your webinars can run themselves without you even having to be there!

Want to keep using pre-recorded content? Just select Recorded Events. Pick the recording you want to use, schedule it to auto-play (or make it available on demand) and then sit back and relax.
