Hello all.
What are some of the most common issues that go 'wrong' in a webinar or virtual classroom session?
I have things like:
- People can't login
- People can't hear
In your experience, what else?

Hey Jo,
Â
Bit late to the party with this but here's some issues from my experience:
Â
Strangest one that happened to me was yesterday: Presenter stopped sharing screen over the course of the 10 min break we took. When he came back to his screen, it looked like he had dropped from the session (name missing from the attendee list) was actually still connected and could talk over the VoIP connection!
Â
Was an esay fix (closed and re-joined session) but was definately a first for me!
Hi Paul,Â
Ah the recording/computer run time issue is an interesting one. What platform is that with where you've noticed it?
And how weird about the lost connection! I know that there are different communication ports (from a firewall perspective) used for VOIP and the visuals, maybe it was some weirdness to do with that!?
Lost connectivity by facilitator or participant
Platform freezes
Not having a producer / co-facilitator when things go wrong
Loading wrong materials or materials that are not updated
Yup, good list! The platform freezing or connectivity I think I find most frustrating as I can't fix them!
trying to play video eg off YouTube but there is no sound...using Zoom - thought I fixed it with share computer audio but no

Ah yes, that's important! It's amazing how many tiny options or setup things we don't notice until something doesn't work. Glad you found it :D
