Used For

• +**Your Zoom webinars turn into chat spam nightmares with 200+ attendees** → Organized Q&A where questions get answered and marked resolved, cutting follow-ups in half
• +**You're manually running polls via separate tools during presentations** → Pre-scheduled polls and surveys pop up automatically during your webinar timeline
• +**Large training sessions become unmanageable free-for-alls** → Split 800 people into 20 breakout rooms with 40 max per room for focused discussions
• +Automated webinars run on schedule - record once, it handles the polls and chat interactions while you're offline
• +Live transcription converts speech to text automatically for instant reports and blog content

Best For

• >Marketing teams running lead-gen webinars for 50-500 people who need polls and Q&A that actually work
• >Training departments tired of Zoom chat chaos when teaching 100+ employees
• >Sales teams doing product demos where attendees ask real questions instead of spamming chat

Not For

• -Solo consultants or small teams under 10 people — you're paying webinar prices for basic video calls that free Zoom handles fine
• -Companies wanting plug-and-play simplicity — you'll spend 1-2 hours learning breakout rooms and automated timelines
• -Anyone running mostly 1:1 meetings or small team calls — the 40-camera limits and webinar features are complete overkill

Pairs With

• *HubSpot (where your webinar leads actually go instead of disappearing into a CSV file)
• *YouTube (for hosting replays since ClickMeeting's storage isn't meant for long-term video libraries)
• *Slack (where your team coordinates who's moderating chat and answering which questions)
• *Mailchimp (to actually follow up with attendees since ClickMeeting gives you the list but doesn't nurture leads)
• *Zoom (for your regular small team meetings since paying webinar prices for daily standups is nuts)

The Catch

• !Transcription doesn't auto-start — you have to remember to enable it before presenting or you'll miss the whole thing
• !Desktop app required for full features like proper screen sharing; browser version limits what you can do
• !No free tier and pricing starts around $40/month for 25 attendees — adds up fast if you need bigger audiences

Bottom Line

Built for webinars with real audiences, not just glorified Zoom calls with fancy polls.
