Donations: make money on voluntary contributions from your attendees
There are various ways to monetize online events. You don’t always have to create paid webinars. On ClickMeeting you can also let your attendees send you voluntary donations. Thanks to the wizard available in the event room, you will encourage them to do so.
Donations will work great if:
- You want to start monetizing your online events, but you don’t yet know if your audience will be willing to buy paid access. If you find that your attendees are eager to use them and voluntarily support your work, they would certainly also like to get access to paid content.
- You’re creating free webinars and meetings and would like to get an additional source of income.

Discounted ticket prices: early birds and ticket pools
Discounts are a great way to encourage your customers to make purchases. It’s no different when it comes to tickets for paid webinars. If you’re creating them on ClickMeeting, you’ll introduce discounts easily in the event settings section.
Note that you can enter number and time limits, or combine them within a single promotion.
You can set up many different promotion models, such as:
- Early birds discounts: do you want to reward attendees who decide to buy quickly? Just set the number of tickets included in the promotion or the end date. You can simultaneously apply a limit on both the number and expiration of tickets covered by the promotion. Of course, you can organize this type of discounts in further phases of sales as well.
- Ticket pools: several promotions with different terms and conditions immediately following one another? You can automate this in ClickMeeting. All you need to do is create several ticket pools. Each of them can be limited in time and/or volume.

End-to-end encryption (E2EE)
Want to ensure the highest level of security and privacy for your meetings? At ClickMeeting, we have always had a special focus on this issue. However, we go one step further and want to give you the ability to create the most secure events with end-to-end encryption (E2EE).
End-to-end encryption (E2EE) prevents data from being read and modified by anyone other than the sender and receiver.
With this solution, when you select E2EE encryption, you will end up in a secure room with properly configured settings. The encryption will cover the video and audio window and chat messages, among other things.
It is worth using this solution in the scenarios where confidentiality is especially important, for example, if during a meeting:
- You will be sharing information of special importance (e.g., during business meetings),
- You will be discussing sensitive topics with your clients or patients,
- You will share data that can only be known by strictly defined people.
Having webinar attendees take the floor and turn on the camera
Want to let your webinar attendees turn on the camera and speak up to ask a question or participate in a discussion? “Give a floor” feature will allow you to do this with just a few clicks. Q&A sessions can be even more engaging!
When you turn it on, presenters and attendees will be informed that they can turn on their cameras and microphones and will be able to do so. Remember that up to 8 audio and video streams can be turned on simultaneously in webinar mode, including presenters.
You’ll learn more here.
Image quality in screen sharing mode
You get to decide whether you want higher image quality or smoothness in screen-sharing mode. With just a few clicks, you can switch between these settings. You can adjust the screen sharing mode to the content you are showing:
- Sharpness optimization will come in handy if you want maximum image quality – for example, when showing static documents.
- Smoothness optimization will work well when you’re showing dynamic content, such as animations or recordings
AI recording transcription
The new AI transcription will allow you to download a text transcript of your event recording after the event directly from your account panel. The transcript will be enriched with timestamps, greatly increasing its number of uses.
With AI technology, you get access to a high-quality transcript that you can, among other things:
- Send to event participants to make it easier for them to search for information,
- Use external tools to place as subtitles on the recording and prepare their translations,
- Use to create additional content, such as articles or emails,
- Use in other AI tools, for example, automating content creation and analysis.
Here you can read how to create an AI transcription of your recordings.
Floating video and audio window
During your events, you can use the picture-in-picture feature. All you have to do is detach the video window with this button:
You will see a floating video and audio window with no need to use an external monitor. You can freely move it around to simultaneously see, for example, the shared material and the meeting attendees, or use other programs or browser tabs during the event without worrying about losing contact with other attendees.
For more information about the floating window, visit this page.
New chat in the event room
We have introduced a new version of chat available in the event room. What does it offer?
- New design and editing tools: you can use different text input and editing modes, such as bold and italic text or bullets. By the way, the chat room simply looks much better.
- Create quick surveys: a few clicks are all it takes to get the opinion of attendees and display the results in the chat.
- Manage Q&A session in the chat settings window: you will find Q&A session settings directly in the chat settings window. Of course, attendees would leave questions there, so you can answer them later.
- Upload files: instantly share important files with your attendees directly in the chat window.
Broadcasting events on LinkedIn
Want to scale up and reach experts interested in the topics you cover? From now on you can broadcast your events on LinkedIn! Remember that it is also possible to broadcast on Facebook or YouTube.
You can read more about streaming your events on social media here.
Whiteboard library
Save the status of your whiteboards in the whiteboard library and come back to edit them later. You can use them together with attendees at various webinars and meetings, duplicate, as well as export and share with your audience.
Virtual whiteboard update
We have improved the operation of the virtual whiteboard. Among other things, added a feature to track the presenter’s location and a minimap to make it easier to navigate the whiteboard.
“Sound only” mode
Any user who has problems with the connection quality can instantly solve the issue without losing the ability to listen and speak during the event. All they have to do is use the “Sound Only” option, which they can find directly in the settings tab in the event room.
You can read more about the “sound only” mode here.

Read how to integrate ClickMeeting with Google Analytics step by step.
New AV Tester
We have expanded the functions of our audio-video tester. Before the start of an event, you can check, among other things, how the image will look in 16:9 aspect ratio, mirror image or with a virtual background. The button layout has also changed – it’s another interface revision that makes ClickMeeting even more intuitive and convenient.
Access to Pexels
We’ve replaced the Unsplash library available so far with Pexels. Thus, you have thousands of image files at your disposal to make your events even more visually appealing.
