What is a Webinar?
A webinar is a scheduled online seminar delivered live over the internet to a registered audience, typically combining slides, demos, and audience Q&A.
A webinar is a structured online event where a host presents to many attendees at once, usually after they register in advance. Webinars often mix slides, screen-shared demos, polls, and a moderated Q&A, and are widely used for education, marketing, and training.
A webinar differs from a general remote presentation by being a more formal, scheduled event with registration and often recording. It differs from a virtual classroom, which centers on ongoing teaching, and from a demo video, which is pre-recorded rather than live.
When a webinar includes a live software demo or screen share, attendees need to see exactly what the host is doing. Limelight is a macOS menu-bar overlay that runs on top of any webinar tool: the cursor spotlight (⌃⌥1) tracks the pointer, keystroke display (⌃⌥2) shows shortcuts, and freehand drawing (⌃⌥3) lets the host annotate live. Limelight does not host, stream, or record the webinar; it adds on-screen clarity to whatever platform runs it.

FAQ
- Is a webinar always live?
- Webinars are typically delivered live, though many are recorded for on-demand viewing afterward. The live, scheduled format is what distinguishes them from a pre-recorded demo video.
- Can Limelight host a webinar?
- No. Limelight is a macOS overlay app. It runs alongside your webinar platform and adds a cursor spotlight, keystroke display, and drawing, but it does not host, stream, or record the event.
