Marketo Interactive Webinars - setting up a test webinar

[avaroglu]

I'm looking to set up a test webinar in the Marketo Interactive Webinar platform for 12/3. If I plan to invite 1 colleague as a co-host and 3 colleagues as attendees, is it possible to also set up a meeting with the 5 of us, 1 week prior, to enter the webinar lobby and play around with the layouts so we can get it perfected prior to the 12/3 webinar test? Just wondering if it's possible for co-hosts and/or attendees to enter the webinar lobby in advance of the scheduled webinar? I don't want to waste additional webinar credits by setting up too many test programs. Thanks!!

Hi @avaroglu 

If I'm not mistake, this is no problem at all. I recently had a 121 call with Allie House, who is a product specialist for Interactive Webinars at Adobe. She recommended me to - if you want to test - make sure to put the date in the future so you won't waste any credits just for testing. (A credit gets used once the date has passed). Which means you can access your scheduled webinar 1 week before for further testing with your colleagues. 

Adobe recommends to add presenters and co-hosts after you designed your webinar, as you can read here: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/marketo/using/product-docs/demand-generation/events/inter...

Please note that co-hosts can modify the layouts and pods, presenters cannot. 

Let me know if you have more questions! 

If you want, I can also share your contact information with Allie. 

Good luck,  

Ilona

Thank you very much! This makes perfect sense and I will proceed with this in mind 🙂
