Why host your interactive webinar on Welya

An interactive webinar is a two-way live session: attendees chat, react, vote in polls and answer quizzes instead of just watching. Welya covers the engagement tools you expect, plus a few built for webinars that end with an offer.

  • A chat you control: public, private or turned off, and you can switch at any time.
  • Live polls: ask the room a question and share the results on screen.
  • Scored quizzes: correct answers are counted for every attendee.
  • Participation statuses: the more attendees engage, the higher their status in the chat.
  • A waiting room with something to do: a countdown, who is waiting, a poll or a quiz.
  • YouTube Live from Grow: attendees keep Welya's chat, polls and quizzes around the video.

« I also see that the chat is more engaged thanks to quizzes and statuses. »

How it works, in 3 steps

Participation status settings: a label and a color for each status, with a chat preview (sample data)

01Set up your interactions ahead of time

Everything is ready in your webinar before you go live.

  • Polls and quizzes. 2 to 6 answers, plus the correct answers for quizzes.
  • Participation statuses. A label and a color for each status, shown next to first names in the chat.
  • Your content. Slides with speaker notes, videos, files and links to share during the session.
Welya waiting room: countdown, number of people waiting, agenda and a pre-webinar quiz button (sample data)

02Give the waiting room something to do

Early arrivals see what's coming and can answer a poll or a quiz before you start.

  • A countdown and an agenda. Attendees see the time left and the main points of your webinar.
  • Who is waiting. Above a threshold you set, the number of people waiting appears, with first names.
  • One warm-up activity. A poll or a quiz of your choice, plus a connection test before you start.
Welya live webinar on mobile: the video, the chat and a quiz at the bottom of the screen (sample data)

03Engage the room while you present

You launch each interaction when your presentation gets there.

  • One click. The poll or quiz opens for attendees on desktop and on mobile.
  • Right on cue. It appears when attendees see you announce it in the video.
  • Results on screen. Share the room's answers as percentages, if you choose to.

Every engagement tool in your live webinar

Creating a survey in Welya: question, answer type, answers and a preview of the card attendees see (sample data)

Live polls and scored quizzes

Attendees can answer in one click, no typing needed. Before a coaching offer, for example: just starting, growing or scaling?

  • Single or multiple choice. Up to 6 answers per question, launched whenever you want.
  • Results as percentages. With the share of attendees who answered, shown to the room or kept for you.
  • Quizzes with correct answers. Scored for each attendee; you can turn off the chat during a quiz.

Participation statuses: gamification, explained

Statuses based on an engagement score: the more attendees engage, the higher their status goes.

  • A status next to each name. The statuses you set up appear in the chat, for the whole room.
  • Your labels, your colors. No. 1 to 3, Top 25, 50 or 75%, buyers: you name each one.
  • What raises the score. Messages, reactions, poll and quiz answers, offer clicks, purchases and attendance.
Host room: Surveys, Quizzes, Resources and Offers tabs, and the chat mode selector (sample data)

Live chat and emoji reactions

Public, private or off: you set the chat mode, and you can change it mid-session.

  • Private chat. Only your team sees attendee messages; your team's replies stay public.
  • An anti-spam delay. From 0 to 120 seconds between two messages when the chat gets busy.
  • Five live reactions. 🔥 🚀 👍 😍 🤣, floating up on screen for the whole room.
Live settings: PDF slides with speaker notes, a video, a PDF guide and a WhatsApp link (sample data)

Slides, videos, handouts and links

When you stream with Welya: 2, 4 or 6 presenters and guests on screen depending on your plan.

  • Slides and screen sharing. On your slides, speaker notes stay visible to you only.
  • Videos. Played from your host room, in sync with each attendee's stream.
  • Handouts and links. A PDF guide, a worksheet or your community link, shared during the session.
Broadcast settings: YouTube Live mode selected, the YouTube link field and the presenters section (sample data)

In the browser or on YouTube Live

Stream with Welya, or with YouTube Live from Grow: attendees watch on your Welya page, interactions included.

  • Browser-based. Attendees join without a Welya account, on desktop or mobile.
  • YouTube Live from Grow. The YouTube player sits in your Welya page, with the chat, polls and quizzes.
  • On YouTube, you present alone. Screen sharing, slides and videos go through your streaming tool.

Questions? We’ve got answers.

1. What is an interactive webinar?

A webinar where the audience takes part instead of just watching: attendees chat, react, answer polls and take quizzes. In Welya, you launch each interaction when you choose.

2. Do attendees need to talk or turn on their camera?

No. They interact through the chat, reactions, polls and quizzes. When you stream with Welya, only your presenters and guests appear on screen: 2, 4 or 6 depending on your plan; on YouTube Live, you present alone.

3. Can I make the chat private or turn it off?

Yes, at any time during the session. In private mode, only your team sees attendee messages. You can also turn off the chat during a quiz.

4. Can I stream to YouTube Live and keep polls and chat?

Yes, from the Grow plan. Attendees watch on your Welya page, where the YouTube player sits next to the chat, polls, quizzes and your offers. You present alone, and the replay is the YouTube video.

5. Do attendees need an account, and does it work on mobile?

They join from their web browser, on desktop or mobile, without a Welya account. The waiting room lets them test their connection before you start.

6. Is there a delay for attendees?

Attendees see the video with a delay of To be confirmed: 15 to 30 seconds. Your polls, quizzes and offer appear when they see you announce them.

7. Do interactions work in replays or automated sessions?

In the replay, the live chat messages scroll by at the moment they were posted, read-only. In an automated (evergreen) webinar, your polls, quizzes, offers and files play again at the same moment.

8. Do I pay to set it up?

No. The free account, with no credit card, lets you set everything up. You only need a subscription to go live in front of your audience.
