How to set up a Dedicated Replay (On Demand Webinar) ?

A Dedicated Replay — also called an On Demand webinar — is a webinar type that skips scheduled start times entirely. Instead, it plays immediately for the viewer as soon as they land on the watch page, right after registration. There's no "choose a time" step for your audience.

Many users choose a Dedicated Replay instead of the built-in replay feature on Automated Webinars because it gives you more control over when and to whom you make the recording available — you decide when to send the link, rather than it being tied to a fixed schedule.

How to Create a Dedicated Replay

1. Open your webinar dashboard

Log in to Stealth Seminar and select New Webinar to create a new event, or duplicate an existing webinar if you want to reuse its video, branding, or page configuration.

3. Set replay availability

Open the Scheduling tab and set the replay availability.

For a Dedicated Replay, you typically configure an End Date or availability window rather than a webinar start time. After the availability period ends, attendees may no longer be able to access the replay.

Before selecting an expiration date, decide:

When the replay should become available.
When access should end.
Whether the replay is part of a limited-time campaign.
What attendees should see after the replay expires.
Whether your follow-up emails should stop when access ends.

TIP: If you use a limited-time replay, test the page before and after the expiration date to confirm that the access and redirect behavior work as expected.

Configure registration and attendee access

By default, Dedicated Replay webinars do not require a separate registration page.

You can choose to:

Send attendees directly to the watch page.
Enable a registration page.
Collect a name and email address on the watch page.
Use a pre-filled link for selected recipients.
Add a call to action or follow-up link to the viewing experience.

Use a pre-filled attendee link

You can append an attendee’s name and email address to the watch-page URL so that their information is filled in when they open the link.

Use the following format:

https://joinnow.live/a/WEBINAR_ID?name=NAME&email=EMAIL_ADDRESS

Replace the placeholders with your Dedicated Replay watch-page URL and the attendee’s details.

For example:

https://joinnow.live/a/ABC123?name=Alex%20Smith&email=alex@example.com

Note: Only use personalized links in trusted emails or one-to-one communications. Avoid publishing links that contain personal information on public pages.

Once your Dedicated Replay is configured, copy the watch-page URL from the webinar settings.

NOTE: Use the Dedicated Replay watch link rather than the original Automated Webinar registration link. The two links provide different attendee experiences, and using the wrong link can send viewers to a registration or scheduled-session page instead of the replay.

Test your Dedicated Replay

Before sending the link to attendees, test the complete experience.

Open the replay link in a private browser window.
Confirm that the correct video loads.
Test the email collection or registration step, if enabled.
Check that the attendee name and email are recorded correctly.
Confirm that video controls work as expected.
Test the replay from the beginning, middle, and end.
Check all calls to action and links.
Test Q&A or email instructions, if enabled.
Confirm the completion page or redirect.
Verify that the replay expiration date behaves as expected.
Test the personalized link format, if you plan to use one.

Make sure the video has finished processing before testing. A full test should include the attendee’s actual path from opening the link through completing the replay.

Common issues

The replay link opens the wrong page

Confirm that you are sharing the Dedicated Replay watch-page link, not the original webinar registration link or an Automated Webinar replay link.

Attendees are asked to choose a webinar time

Dedicated Replays do not use scheduled session selection. Check that the webinar type is set to Dedicated Replay and that you are using the correct watch-page URL.

The video does not play

Check that the video has finished uploading and encoding. If you recently replaced the video, wait for processing to complete and test the replay again.

Calls to action appear at the wrong time

Check the CTA timing against the current replay video. If the video was replaced or edited, the original timestamps may no longer align.

Attendee information is not being collected

By default, a Dedicated Replay does not require a separate registration page. If you need to collect attendee information, enable registration or configure email collection on the watch page.

The replay is no longer available

Check the End Date and replay availability settings in the Scheduling tab. If the replay has expired, update the availability settings or create a new replay event if appropriate.
