My First Webinar
Webinar Series at the time of Quarantine First, before I start to share my experience I would like you all to know what actually a Webinar is and when it all started. It first came into existence at the end of the 1980es. Namely, at that time, when the history of the Internet was at its early stage. In the mid 1990es, webchats and instant messaging apps were developed. In 1995, PictureTel announced the launch of the LiveShare Plus software. First public web conferences became available in May 1996 due to the efforts of Microsoft, which announced the launch of NetMeeting. It was an inbuilt component of the web browser Internet Explorer 3.0. NetMeeting allowed users to communicate and exchange data in real-time. In 1998, Eric R. Korb registered the trademark “webinar”, which was further challenged in the court. At present, the trademark “webinar” is owned by InterCall. In 1999, WebEx Meeting Center software was developed, which later on was renamed into WebEx
