A shareholder meeting that reflects actual voting weight
In a shareholder meeting, not every vote carries an equal weight. OnlineWebinar supports weighted voting based on shareholding, combined with restricted access limited to invited shareholders only.
Votes that reflect actual shareholding
A standard poll weighs every vote equally: one participant, one vote. But for a shareholder meeting, there’s a different requirement needed. Because voting power is determined by shareholding, not by a simple headcount. This needs a very specific system of polling.
This is why OnlineWebinar supports weighted poll questions, which are based on a pre-loaded shareholder list containing each shareholder's number of shares. A vote is then weighted in proportion to shareholding, rather than counted as a simple majority vote.
Attendance you can back up with data
During the webinar, how long each attendee was actually online is tracked. For training and continuing-education contexts where demonstrable attendance matters, not just registration, but genuine participation over a set duration is essential. You're not relying on an assumption that someone watched; the data backs it up.
Access limited to those on the shareholder list
A shareholder meeting is inherently restricted, meaning only shareholders (and any explicitly invited guests) should be able to attend. OnlineWebinar supports this essential functionality through domain whitelisting and other restricted-access mechanisms, so you can define in advance who is able to join.
For a fuller overview of restricted-access options, including whitelisting, personal links, and pre-approved attendee lists, see the hosting a private Webinar article.
What this means in practice
For listed companies and organisations with formal shareholder structures, this means an online or hybrid shareholder meeting where both access and voting weight reflect how a real shareholder meeting actually works, not a generic webinar poll repurposed for voting.
This means in short:
- Weighted voting based on a shareholder list with share counts
- Restricted access via whitelisting and controlled attendee lists
- Suited to formal, online or hybrid shareholder meetings
A shareholder meeting that works, online too
