Amy, just went through the Idea Guide - "How to Make an Automated Webinar".
If the webinar is scheduled for 9am PST, and the person logs in at 945am PST, they will start a the beginning of the webinar.
In other words, the way the evergreen webinar is set up, it will "auto play" starting at the beginning of the webinar which is actually 945am and therefore, not appear live but recorded.
Have you looked at or solved this issue so if they come at 945, the video starts at the 45 minute time stamp?
