What’s changing and how to stay ahead
The webinar space is evolving fast. In 2025, it’s about creating valuable experiences, taking your on-demand game to the next level, letting AI accelerate your expertise, and making sure you stay in control of your data.
Next-Level On-Demand
Some companies won’t like this insight, but it’s true: over 70% of webinar views now happen after the live event. While there are exceptions, most audiences prefer flexibility.
To take advantage of this, design webinars with on-demand usage in mind: using chapters, CTAs, and republishing workflows. This shift makes on-demand content a major opportunity to up your game.
AI Is Here to Stay
AI is already a superpower for how we plan, host, and analyze webinars.
Used wisely, it helps teams get more efficient—freeing up time to focus on what matters most: your message and your audience. In the end, we connect with value-driven stories, delivered by real people.
Streaming Is the New Standard
Webinar quality is catching up with TV. Today, tools and platforms make it easy to stream with high production value: studio setups, multi-cam angles, in-video presentations, and professional moderation are fast becoming the norm.
Engagement Is King
Interactivity isn’t optional anymore. Real-time polls, overlays, and clickable CTAs aren’t just “nice extras”, they’re essential for keeping attention in crowded calendars and busy inboxes.
Own Your Data
With GDPR still going strong and B2B platforms tightening access to analytics, your team must prioritize tools that offer full control and portability of webinar content and viewer data.
This is about protecting your investment, and keeping the flexibility to make strategic tech choices.
The most successful webinar teams in 2025 will be those who adapt fast, think long-term, and choose platforms that grow with them, not against them.
