Can Google Hangouts Replace Webinar Softare?

By Yusuf Abdi


When you're running an online business cutting costs is always at the forefront of your mind. The whole reason that you forgo the brick and mortar business style is because you want to minimize overhead and maximize profits.



There are a few constants that no Internet Marketer can avoid though: and webinar software is just "one of those things". But what about Google Hangouts? It's the updated version of the Google talk app that allows for video chat, screen sharing and a lot of other cool features. Could it feasibly replace your webinar software? Let's take a look at what it can do and make a decision.

This question brings up the first (and largest) drawback of using Google Hangouts as a webinar replacement. You can fit up to 100 people in a single text chat; but only 10 in any single video chat. For your business to reach a good audience you're going to need to be able to broadcast to a LOT more people than that.

Also, the nice thing about Google Hangouts, is that they are free to use, and if they are very easy to set up and use. The cost of some of the webinar software is really getting up in the clouds, especially if you want to hold large conferences.

So, Google hangouts is not going to be able to replace a Webinar Software for your business. You can use it for small scale get togethers with clients and customers, or you can record yourself and a few other experts in an intimate setting. Outside of that you're going to want to find a good, complete webinar software that will be able to handle all of your needs. They are easier to find than you think, so get out there and start looking!
