Can Google Hangouts Replace Webinar Softare?

By Yusuf Abdi


Choosing the right webinar software is not easy. Instead of testing different software and asking your audience to install new software, why not use Google Hangouts instead?



Google Hangouts is an excellent alternative to webinar software because it is very easy to use. The interface is intuitive and your audience will not have a hard time with downloading and installing software. Google Hangouts is entirely free, which is definitely an advantage over webinar software since asking your audience to purchase software in order to follow your webinars is not a good way to attract more viewers.

Google Hangouts allows you to have a group discussion thanks to webcams and microphones. Unlike other webinar software, everyone can see each other and jump in the conversation at any time. This should make for some lively conversations and encourage your audience to ask questions. While other software allows you to broadcast a video stream, Google Hangouts is more about having a group discussion. This might not an ideal format if you want to have an online lecture but it could make your webinar a lot more fun and interactive.

Google Hangouts is a part of Google +, the social network developed by Google. In order to take part in the webinar you organize on Google Hangouts, you will have to befriend your audience on Google +. This will make staying in touch with your audience a lot easier. You will be able to tell your viewers about the next webinar by simply updating Google + instead of spending the last few minutes of your webinar trying to convince viewers to subscribe to your newsletter or connect with you on Facebook.

You should create an account on Google + and give Google Hangouts a try. This could be the ideal platform for your webinar!
