Webinar intro video
The first two minutes of a live webinar are the ones nobody wants to present.
A webinar intro video is a pre-made 45 to 90 second opener covering housekeeping, the agenda and the speaker. Play it as attendees settle so the live portion starts on the content, not the admin.
The detail, in plain English
Housekeeping — muting, questions, recordings — is identical every time and nobody enjoys saying it live. Make it once.
A fixed intro also solves the awkward first two minutes while latecomers join, without a countdown slide and silence.
Keep the evergreen part separate from the session-specific part, so you only reproduce the short piece that changes.
What to do, step by step
- 1Make the evergreen openerHousekeeping and how questions work — reused for every session.
- 2Make a short session insertToday's topic and speaker, 15 to 20 seconds, reproduced per webinar.
- 3Play both as people joinThen go live straight into the content.
The short version in a table
| Segment | Reused | Reproduced each time |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome and housekeeping | Yes | No |
| How to ask questions | Yes | No |
| Recording notice | Yes | No |
| Today's topic | No | Yes |
| Today's speaker | No | Yes |
A worked example
Worked example (illustration). A professional body runs a monthly webinar with a fixed 60-second opener and a 15-second insert naming the month's speaker, so the host now joins live at the content rather than the admin.
What to watch out for
- Check the recording notice matches your current privacy wording.
- Do not reference a season or year in the evergreen part.
- Test playback and audio levels in the webinar tool before the session, not during it.

Questions people ask
Do I need any video experience?
No. You need a file you can play inside your webinar tool, which every major platform supports as a screen or media share.
How much does it cost?
The evergreen opener is made once. The 15-second monthly insert barely touches an allowance, so Starter at £49 a month is ample.
Can I edit it afterwards?
Yes. Because the opener and insert are separate files, updating the speaker each month never means remaking the housekeeping section.
