Live Connection Tester

The confidence you need before and during your live broadcast

Whether you’re a CEO hosting an investor webinar or a trainer addressing thousands of employees, nothing is more disruptive than technical issues during a live broadcast. That’s why the OnlineWebinar platform includes a Live Connection Tester. This is a real-time pre-flight check, that eliminates uncertainty before your event starts.
‍

What does the Live Connection Tester do?

Automatic pre-flight check

As soon as you enter the webinar room, the system automatically tests:

Internet connection – speed and stability
Audio input & output – microphone and speakers
Camera – resolution and frame rate
Browser compatibility – optimal platform performance

There is no manual setup or complex configuration needed, everything runs automatically.

Smart recommendations

If something isn’t optimal, you’ll receive clear, actionable recommendations, such as:

Switching microphones or cameras
Using a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi
Closing interfering applications
Changing to a recommended browser

This ensures you’re technically ready before the live moment begins.

For hosts and speakers alike

The Live Connection Tester automatically runs for everyone with an active role, including:

Hosts
Moderators
Co-hosts
Speakers

This guarantees that the entire production team is prepared, not just the main presenter.

Why this feature matters

For enterprise and corporate webinars, reliability is non-negotiable. With the Live Connection Tester we deliver:

Reduction of risk of technical issues during live events
Boosts speaker confidence
Lowers pressure on live support teams
Demonstrates that OnlineWebinar.com is built for professional, high-stakes use
