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.

The bright side? You can use Hangouts to record a webinar between you and other experts in your niche, package that product up and deliver it to your user base. It can also be used to broadcast to a select few people at once (as a premium service perhaps).

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