With a webinar, two rather than one of the senses is engaged.  Rather than relying completely on sound, the presenter can also engage the sense of seeing.

You also have the ability to:

1.   See who is on the call (take attendance)

2.   See who has left the call

3.   Mute or unmute, so there are no embarrassing background sounds

What else can you do using a webinar format?

Polling or voting also lend themselves to a webinar format.  It’s fun to start the meeting with something entertaining.

How many of you watched the Emmy’s last night?

Then move into the substance of the meeting.  How many of you will still be able to meet your departments goals, given the budget cuts?

A webinar is a way to better engage your audience and therefore better communicate with them as well.
