Can I schedule an event in advance?

Yes, Raindance Web Conferencing Pro includes powerful scheduling tools that let you set up your events, promote them on your site and manage participant registration. However, if you expect fewer than 125 participants at your event, you do not need to schedule in advance, since your virtual conference room is always available.

How is the service priced?

Raindance Web Conferencing Pro has two pricing models, a flexible per-minute option or a fixed-price subscription. List price for the per-minute model is $.49 per minute per web user (with additional charges for audio usage). Subscription prices vary by customer based on several factors; if you are interested in learning about subscription pricing, we recommend you discuss the many options with a Raindance account representative. Corporate users with a non-customized interface receive a unique URL with the ability to sign up unlimited moderator accounts for a one-time $1,000 set-up fee, while those who want a custom-branded site have a one-time $3,000 set-up fee. For more information, view the Pricing page.

How can I secure my web seminar?

Raindance Web Conferencing Pro comes with both standard and optional security features. To prevent unauthorized access to your seminar, you can lock your conference, dial out to your participants, view a real-time participant list or dismiss participants from the conference. Optional 128-bit SSL encryption is also available, adding an additional layer of security. For more information on security, view the Raindance Web Conferencing Pro Tech Sheet (PDF).
