Learn how to use Simulated Live webinars in Adobe Connect to deliver pre-recorded content with live interactivity.

Adobe Connect allows you to present pre-recorded webinars as if they were live using the Simulated Live webinar format. Attendees can join at a scheduled time and experience the session in real-time, enjoying interactive features like chat, polls, and Q&A. Simulated Live webinars combine the reliability of recorded content with the interactive experience of a live event. This format is ideal for recurring sessions, reaching global audiences across time zones, or when presenters are unavailable to attend live.

Simulated Live webinars are useful when:

  • You need to present across time zones without coordinating live presenters.
  • You want to reduce the risk of technical issues during delivery.
  • You’re reusing content for multiple audiences.
  • Presenters prefer to focus on interaction instead of live speaking.

Benefits of Simulated Live webinars

  • Flexible scheduling: You can present content without needing all speakers to be available live, making it easier to coordinate across teams and time zones.
  • Consistent quality: Each session is polished and pre-recorded, minimizing the risk of technical issues or live errors.
  • Reduced presenter pressure: Speakers can focus on engaging with participants through chat and Q&A, rather than worrying about delivering the presentation live.

Real-world use cases

Simulated Live webinars are versatile and can be used across a variety of scenarios:

Use case

What problem arises

How Simulated Live webinars help

Product demonstrations

Running consistent, high-quality demos often requires live coordination with the product experts.

Deliver consistent, polished product demos with real-time Q&A and chat.

Training and onboarding

Trainers often repeat the same content and can’t focus on individual learner engagement.

Record training once, reuse it across sessions, and let trainers focus on participant engagement.

Marketing campaigns

Coordinating live events across global time zones is complex and resource-intensive.

Run multiple high-impact launch sessions across time zones without repeating live presentations.
