Go live

Publishing opens your registration page and lets people sign up. Before that, the page is only visible to you and your team. Everything happens under Webinars → your webinar → Set up → Go live, the card at the bottom of the steps list. On a smaller screen that card is hidden, so use the Publish button at the top of the webinar.

Run through the launch checklist as well if this is your first webinar.

Preview before you publish

You have three ways to check your work.

Previews beside the form appear on these steps: Details, Schedule, Registration page, Thank-you page, Reminder emails, Video, Waiting room, Chat & questions, Replay and Follow-up emails. Room previews show a still of your video at the moment your first offer is on screen, or 40% of the way through if you don’t have an offer. They use your unsaved edits, and nothing changes for attendees until you save.

The Preview button shows a banner reading Preview: this is how visitors see your registration page. Visits from it aren’t counted and your tracking scripts don’t run on it. It works while the webinar is a draft or paused, but only when you’re signed in.

Check the list

The Publish step lists five checks. The first two must pass. The other three are marked recommended, and you can publish without them. Each check that isn’t done has a Fix button that takes you to the right step.

The Publish webinar button is disabled until both required checks pass.

Publish

If Publish is blocked

If something’s missing when you choose Publish in the header, on any tab of the webinar, a dialog titled Not ready to publish yet lists everything still to do, with a button that takes you there. Close dismisses it. The Go live step shows the same message inline.

What publishing does

• Your registration page and any embedded forms start accepting sign-ups.
• The webinar becomes available to Pinball for use on its pages.
• Its upcoming open sessions appear under Coming up in the room on your dashboard.

Publishing doesn’t email anyone. Nothing is sent until someone registers.

If publishing is blocked

Your public links

Attendee pages live on showtell.live, separate from app.meetfullhouse.com where you work.

your-address is the address from Details. New webinars get one made from the name, with a few random characters at the end.

Public pages are marked so that search engines don’t list them, so people reach them through the links you share.

Pause a webinar

Pausing stops new sign-ups without touching anyone who’s already registered. Click Pause at the top of the webinar page, or Pause webinar on Go live. The status changes to Paused. There’s no confirmation step, and you can publish again at any time.

To stop a booked session as well, cancel it. That closes its room and stops its remaining emails.

Edit after going live

You can keep editing a published webinar. Nothing is locked, apart from a poll that already has responses, which keeps its question and answer labels. Save each step as you go.

The card in the steps list says Changes apply to sessions that start after you save. In practice, most changes reach people sooner than that, because pages read your settings when they load.

Duplicate a webinar

Click ⋯ → Duplicate at the top of a webinar page to make another one with the same setup, as a starting point or to test a change. You’re taken to the new webinar’s Set up.

The copy is named after the original with (copy) added, and starts as a Draft. Publish it when you’re ready.

Delete a webinar

Click ⋯ → Delete… and confirm with Delete webinar. This removes the webinar and all of its registrants, sessions and analytics. Join links stop working immediately. It can’t be undone, so export your data first.

A video you uploaded to FullHouse stays in your media library for other webinars until you delete it there.

A challenge day can’t be deleted this way. To delete everything, delete the challenge.
