A webinar is a live online presentation where a host teaches, demonstrates, or sells to a remote audience over the internet. You can technically go live inside Kajabi, but it is not designed to function as a full public webinar platform like Zoom or GoToWebinar.

This question usually comes up when someone is planning a live training or launch and trying to decide whether Kajabi alone is enough to host it.

What Is a Webinar?

The word “webinar” combines “web” and “seminar.” It simply means a seminar delivered online.

Most webinars include:

• A scheduled live session

• Slides or screen sharing

• Chat or Q&A

• A replay option

• A follow-up offer or next step

Webinars are commonly used for:

• List building

• Course launches

• Live teaching

• Sales presentations

Can You Host a Live Webinar on Kajabi?

Yes, but with limitations.

Kajabi allows you to go live inside a course or event. However, attendees must log in to access the session. That makes it best suited for existing students, paid members, or private groups.

If you want open registration where anyone can sign up with just an email address and join without a course login, Kajabi is not built to function like dedicated webinar software.

Most people discover this after trying to run a public webinar and realizing Kajabi does not provide a native open-access live room the way Zoom, GoToWebinar, or WebinarJam do.

At this stage, the decision is less about whether Kajabi can technically stream live and more about how you want attendees to access the session.

When Should You Use Kajabi vs Zoom?

Use Kajabi Live if:

• The audience is already enrolled

• It is a private coaching or member session

• You do not need public registration

• You only need simple streaming

Use Zoom (or similar software) if:

• You need public registration

• You want automated reminder emails

• You want easier attendee access

• You are running a launch webinar

Many creators use Zoom for the live event and then upload the recording into Kajabi for gated replay access.

Steps to Designing a Webinar

1. Define the objective
   Decide whether the webinar is for teaching, selling, onboarding, or list growth.

2. Set up registration
   Create a landing page and confirmation email sequence.

3. Host the session
   Deliver your presentation live and engage through chat and Q&A.

4. Send follow-up emails
   Most webinar revenue happens after the live session through replay emails and sales page traffic.

Data and Analytics

Dedicated webinar platforms provide:

• Attendance tracking

• Drop-off points

• Engagement data

• Replay views

These metrics help refine future webinars and launches.

Where This Fits in the Process

This question typically comes up after someone decides to host a live training but before choosing the technical setup. The next decision most people face is whether they need a fully integrated Kajabi funnel or a separate webinar tool connected to Kajabi.
