Create jaw-dropping virtual events

About Welcome

Welcome event software gives you everything you need to produce jaw-dropping virtual events. With low-latency, high-production video that feels like an interactive TV show, theres no need to hire an expensive A/V team or bring in third-party production tools. You have a whole broadcast studio at your fingertips. Prepare speakers in the Green Room. Invite audience members on stage. Mix pre-recorded and live content. Control every aspect of the experience with Welcome.


Key benefits of Welcome

White Label: Every event on Welcome is 100% white labeled, which means your brand stands out, not ours. Customize every aspect of your event, from the logos to the copy to on-stage graphics.

Green Room: Our patented green room technology allows you to easily check whether or not a speaker is ready before they go live.

Control Room: Our virtual event control room is the central control center for your event. Seamlessly switch between live and pre-recorded content. Create pre-built scenes and run of show that reduce the stress of pressing a million buttons during a live event.

Production studio: Our state of the art virtual production studio let’s you run a virtual event like a television show. Completely customize your backgrounds, overlays and lower thirds to create a compelling experience. Unlike competitors which rely on RTMP, our production technology is real time, which allows you to create a highly produced experience with minimal latency.

Photo booth: Each breakout room and lounge room comes equipped with a photo booth where you can create custom templates for attendees to use.

Lounge: Recreate the serendipity of in-person events using our lounge, a “choose your own adventure” networking experience where attendees can meet new people and create lasting relationships.

Because of the pandemic, we are not able to see our customers and prospects face to face--and people were Zoomed out--Welcome allows us to create engaging, interactive and dynamic, quality virtual events to continue trainings, sales overviews, thought leadership programs, etc.

Pros

It's very intuitive to set up, the HD streaming is crystal clear and the training/support team is very hands-on and responsive!

Cons

I signed on with Welcome pretty early on during their soft launch so features were a bit limited early on, but their team listens to their customers and they've been adding great features almost weekly, definitely monthly -- nearly all the "I wish it did this" items have now been deployed.

Alternatives Considered

RingCentral Events, Cvent Event Management and EventMobi

Reasons for Switching to Welcome

The features for the price were really of great value and more affordable than what we were seeing from the other demos/companies. The team was great at communicating and felt like the right fit for us. Now, having done events in Welcome, we are 100% sure we chose correctly!

Overall, my experience with Welcome has been trememdous. They are exceptional people with a great software.

Pros

The ease of use for report analytics, being able to retrieve a recording and the ability to have a green room is incredibly useful. On the audience side, it is a stunning experience especially if you're tuning in live.

Cons

This product does require only a little bit of learning, however the same goes with any other webinar software you could think of (including Zoom). But the customer support team is exceptional and there every step of the way.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Choosing Welcome

I had a bad experience with trying to record with Zoom live - the file was corrupted and had visible errors in recording.

Easy online meeting platform

Reviewed on 03/07/2022

Pros

Welcome is a simple and effective online meeting platform. The quality of the production studio is pretty high and I appreciate that Welcome offers you the possibility to customise the live event with your brand’s feature (like logo, graphics..).

Cons

Maybe an alert feature could be useful to add

I don't love the refresh glitch.
Sometimes you can't tag folks so easily in the chat.

The key to any successful digital event is the team to make it happen. Welcome has a lot of features, but its customer success team along with its IT/producers on the backend are 100% reliable and always there to help, troubleshoot or make something. more engaging. I feel like I have an entire event army behind us and I know we can turn any event into something more memorable with Welcome.

Pros

High-quality video, music, and other engagement options. Easy to use once you learn the basics!

Cons

The fact that I have to log in from an incognito page each time. Something to do with cookies?
