What to consider when choosing a webinar platform?
Online webinars shouldn’t be complicated to set up. With the right webinar platform, you can go live online without worrying about technical issues getting in the way. Choose software that's easy to set up and seamlessly lets you push your webinar live on any platform you choose. If you’re looking to repurpose your webinar, make sure you can record it in high-quality resolution. It’s best if your software comes with local recording so no internet issues ruin your recordings' quality.
Webinars are all about engagement and it’s worth choosing software that offers captivating audience engagement tools. If your speakers are located all over the world, you’ll want to use remote recording software that allows you to invite guests no matter where they are.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
