Overview

What Is Presenter Media?
Presenter media refers to long-form, pre-recorded video assets used to deliver webinars or digital presentations within the ON24 Intelligent Engagement Platform. Instead of relying solely on live presenters, organizations can upload presenter media to power simu-live events—where content plays automatically while presenters interact via live Q&A—or to populate high-quality on-demand experiences.
This media can include full presentations, detailed demonstrations, training sessions, product walkthroughs, or multi-presenter recordings stitched together into a seamless viewing experience. Presenter media supports organizations that need flexibility, consistency, and efficient delivery across time zones. To explore how ON24 enables webinar experiences, see the ON24 Webinars Page.
Why It Matters
Modern digital audiences expect high production quality, convenience, and immediate access to valuable content. Presenter media makes these expectations achievable by allowing teams to produce, refine, and deliver polished presentations without the risks or inconsistencies of live-only sessions.
Using presenter media also gives teams the freedom to scale. Organizations hosting global programs or frequent webinars can reuse polished recordings for simu-live and on-demand audiences, enabling presenters to participate in live engagement tools—such as Q&A, polls, and chats—even while the main content is pre-recorded.
Presenter media supports the broader ON24 Platform strategy of combining dynamic content with engagement tools and first-party data collection. To understand how content feeds into customer journeys, visit https://www.on24.com/resources/propel-your-pipeline/.
How It’s Used
- Simu-Live Webinars: Presenter media powers simu-live sessions in which the video content plays automatically at a scheduled time, while presenters and moderators engage with the audience through live Q&A, chat, polls, and other engagement tools.
- On-Demand Experiences: Recorded presentations become high-value assets inside on-demand webinar experiences. Attendees can watch and rewatch content at their convenience, offering flexible consumption pathways.
