You want to teach something live, or run a Q&A for your followers. With Webinar, you get a registration page on your zorcha.link address for an online session. People register for free or pay, and you see everyone who signed up in one list.
You run the session in your own meeting tool, such as Zoom or Google Meet. Zorcha shows your join link to everyone who registers.
Before you start
Webinar is a product type in Products, next to Digital Product and Booking. It works in Instagram workspaces and in workspaces without Instagram.
For an in-person session, use Events instead.
Create your meeting first, so you have a join link. Zorcha doesn't create the meeting for you, and you can't publish without a date and a join link.
For a paid webinar, set up payouts: Set up and verify your payout account. You can publish once your payout details are in, and people can pay once your payout account is active.
Step 1: Open Products
New to Zorcha? Sign up at zorcha.com. On Get Started, click Use email, enter your email and click Get Started.
Open the email we send you, type the 6-digit code under Check your inbox and click Verify Code. If you can't see the email, check your spam folder.
To sell without connecting Instagram, follow Start selling digital products on Zorcha — no Instagram login needed.
In an Instagram workspace, click Products in the left menu. If you don't see Products, contact support to check whether it's turned on for your workspace.
In a workspace without Instagram, Products has its own section in the left menu, with Availability, Payouts and Billing under it.
Already made a webinar? Open it from your product list, where its type shows as Webinar. To find it quickly, pick Webinars in the All Types filter.
The first time you open Products, Zorcha asks you to claim your store link and pick a theme: Claim your store link and pick a theme. After that, you see your product list.
Step 2: Create your webinar
On Products, click New Product.
Click Webinar (Host an online presentation or live session).
Under Name your Webinar, type a name, such as Grow your Instagram in 30 days.
Click Create Product.
The editor opens on the Webinar tab. A webinar has no Files tab, because attendees don't download anything. A new webinar starts free, with a Register now button. Your edits save automatically.
You can't change a product's type later. If you picked the wrong one, create a new product.
Step 3: Add your details
On the Webinar tab:
Under Media, add a cover image or video.
Under Details, type a Webinar Name and a Description. Add Highlights if you like.
Under Webinar Details, pick the Webinar date, Start time and End time. Times use your webinar's time zone, which is India time until you change it in Settings. In India, the calendar starts from tomorrow, so you can't set a webinar for today. If the calendar opens cut off, scroll the field higher up the screen.
Under Hosted on, pick Google Meet, Zoom, Teams or Other.
Paste your Join link. It must start with https://, or attendees won't see it. Add a Meeting ID, Passcode and Joining instructions if your session needs them.
Your public page shows the date, time and where it's hosted, such as Online on Zoom. Your join link, meeting ID, passcode and instructions stay hidden until someone registers.
Under Pricing, choose Free or Paid: Price your product: free or paid. When you set a price, the button changes to Get tickets.
Reviews is on for a new webinar, so your page shows an empty star rating before the session. Turn it off if you don't want that. Categories, FAQs and Upsell Products work as for other products: Write your product page: description, highlights, FAQs and media.
Step 4: Choose the settings
Open the Settings tab.
Call to action: what the registration button says. Pick Register now, Reserve my spot or Get tickets, or pick Custom and type your own, up to 20 characters.
Show attendee count: adds a line under your button saying how many people bought recently.
Limit available seats: stops registrations at the number you set. The button then shows Sold out. Show remaining seats doesn't appear on your public page yet, so leave it off.
Close registration early: stops registrations at the date and time you set. Without it, registration closes when your webinar starts. Set your webinar date first, because this switch fills in today if there's no date.
Time zone: change it here if your webinar isn't on India time.
Collect attendee phone number: on for a new webinar. Paid webinars always ask for a mobile number.
Cancellation & refund policy: pick your terms, then read the text Zorcha writes for you. If you pick Conditions apply, it talks about files, so rewrite that part for a live session.
Collect additional information: add your own checkout questions. Free registrations don't ask for a name, so add a question if you need one.
Moving your webinar earlier? Change the close time first. If Close registration early is on and the close time falls after your new start time, your edits stop saving and Zorcha doesn't warn you. Reload the page to check that your changes stayed.
Step 5: Preview and publish
Click Publish when you're ready. Zorcha needs a date and a join link, and tells you if one is missing: Add a date before publishing this webinar. or Add a join link before publishing this webinar. If your close time is after the start, you see Registration must close on or before the event starts.
If you haven't added payout details and your webinar is paid, Zorcha asks you to add them in Payouts first.
Edits you make after publishing go live when you click Update. The arrow next to Update has Discard changes and Unpublish. Unpublish also stops new registrations.
Once your webinar is live, its link shows at the top of the Webinar tab: zorcha.link/yourname/products/your-webinar. Copy it and share it: Share your product: copy link, Link in Bio, Instagram DM automations. Your webinar also shows on your Shop page with your other live products. The link only opens once the webinar is live, so don't share it while it's a draft.
What your attendees see
They open your page and see the date, time and where it's hosted, along with your cover, name, highlights, description and button.
They tap the button and enter their email, plus their phone number if you ask for it. A free webinar has a Get for free button. A paid webinar uses the same checkout as other products: How buyers pay: checkout, UPI and cards.
They land on You're registered for your webinar, with your join link, meeting ID, passcode, instructions and a Join webinar button.
Their receipt email has a button that brings them back to this page, so they can find your join link again.
When your close time or start time arrives, the button shows Registration closed and nobody else can register.
Step 6: See who registered
Open your webinar in Products. The Overview tab ends with All Sales: one row per registration, with the attendee's email, the date and the amount.
Changed your join link, date or time after people registered? People who already registered still see the details from when they signed up, so email them the change. Their emails are in All Sales.
On your product list, the webinar's row shows your total and number of buyers: Read product revenue and buyer counts.
Limits and differences
Your meeting, your tool: Zorcha doesn't create the meeting or connect to your calendar for a webinar. Google Calendar and automatic Meet links are for Bookings.
No ticket or calendar invite: attendees don't get a ticket or a calendar file.
One date per webinar: to run it again, duplicate it from your product list and pick a new date.
Refund window: it counts from the day someone registers, not from the day of your webinar.
