We're always happy to set up a practice webinar for you — just ask your account team. But if we're ever short on time before your event, here's how to set one up yourself in a few minutes so you can rehearse before you go live.
Step 1 — Log into Demio
Sign in to your Demio account. You'll land on the Schedule page.
Step 2 — Click "Add New Event" and choose "Standard"
In the top-right, click Add New Event, then choose Standard as your webinar type.
Step 3 — Name it, set a date and time, and create it
Give your event a name (for example, "Test Webinar"), choose a date and time, then click Create Event.
Step 4 — Click "Prepare the Room"
A pop-up will confirm your event was created. Click Prepare the room — this opens the Resources tab.
Step 5 — Add your resources (and a CTA)
Click Add a Resource and add any polls, handouts, or a featured action (a CTA). We recommend adding a CTA to your test webinar so you can experience what it's like to launch one and see how it looks on your screen during the session.
Step 6 — Add your slides
Click Presentation Materials, then Add a Material. Upload your slides, give them a name, and click Add Material.
That's all you need for a basic test setup.
Joining the room to practice
Go to the test session you set up and click Join Room.
Important: you can only join the room within 24 hours of your test webinar's start time. If you schedule it two or three days out, Demio won't let you in. So set your test for a date and time within the next 24 hours, and you'll be able to join the room and rehearse.
