There is no real technicality involved when it comes to recording webinars. All you will need is just two computers and a few tricks of the trade.

Broadcasting your webinar will take place from your primary computer (mac or pc). However, you should ensure that you get the most affordable prices because preparing any webinar in a rush can be very costly. Based on my experience, I found GoToWebinar by Citrix to be the cheapest solution on the market. They also offer you the possibility of having as many webinars as you want during the month. If you decide to use GoToWebinar, then you will be able to have up to 1000 participants at one time. The best part is that if you decide to prepare dummy webinars, then you will be able to do this as well.

The other services that are offered by some webinar services does not guarantee me a clean recording, and this is one thing that I try to avoid. Recording in Camtasia is the best option. It does not give you the hassle that other recording services have with different files that are confusing and sometimes don't work as well.

Once you open Camtasia on your recording computer, set the recording box to 640 x 480. Having both a recording and a broadcasting computer will allow you to host the webinar and attend your own webinar at the same time. The audio must be set for manual input instead of automatic.

You will need to know a few things while you record webinars to prevent echo and feedback from getting in. It will be necessary to get a cord that has a 1/80 jack on each end from your nearest electronic store. To have a continuous loop, simply plug one end into the microphone and the other end into the hole for the headset. This will help you not to pick up any feedback and echo while you record webinars close to your computer. You can save recoding and editing for later.

You will need to resize your webinar to fit into the green recording box from Camtasia. This is not a complicated process, and all you have to do is hit the record button and then watch the sound levels. Now you are on your way to recording webinars professionally.

After this you will be able to modify it according to your personal needs: web, CD, blog , etc. You are ready! Now you know the tips to record webinars that will make you look and sound professional.
