Hybrid in AEvent means one specific thing:
A fully automated video plays up until a defined point — and at the final frame, you go live.
The system pauses playback. You (or your presenter, closer, coach, etc.) come on live, via Zoom or GoToWebinar, for as long as you want.
No awkward transitions. No multiple links. Just a clean handoff from automation to live presence, in a single uninterrupted session.
How Hybrid Works in AEvent
To enable hybrid mode:
Upload your pre-recorded webinar or core content.
Select Hybrid Automation as the play mode when configuring your timeline.
Set the video to pause at the last frame.
Specify the live time window (15 minutes, 30 minutes, up to you).
At that moment, the screen share pauses at the last frame, and the host/presenter takes over live.
From the viewer’s perspective, it feels like a seamless experience — content, then a live face or Q&A or pitch, with no software switch or tech hiccup.
Best Use Cases for Hybrid
Hybrid is built for one outcome: conversions.
Here’s when it’s most effective:
Sales webinars with live closers
→ Pre-record the teaching, show up live for the offer.Group coaching or challenges
→ Deliver the content cleanly and consistently, then go live to answer questions or coach through objections.High-ticket funnels
→ Automate the heavy lifting, then come in live with urgency and social proof.Weekly bootcamps
→ Run your trainings on autopilot, and show up for the wrap-up each time.
You can even have your live segment rotate between team members — since AEvent handles the scheduling, automations, and handoff, it’s scalable without becoming a burden.
Advantages of AEvent’s Hybrid Mode
✅ Control your time + show up where it counts
You’re not live for the whole 90 minutes. Just the close.
✅ Higher perceived value
Even 15 minutes of live presence adds a level of trust you don’t get with fully automated events.
✅ Pre-record once, scale infinitely
No need to re-teach the same thing live every time. Just focus on converting.
✅ Keep it seamless for your viewers
One link, one session, start-to-finish experience. No jumping around.
✅ Works with Zoom or GoToWebinar
Same functionality. Fully managed behind the scenes by AEvent.
Any Disadvantages?
A few considerations:
You (or someone) needs to show up live. If no one’s available for the live segment, it’s not hybrid. It's just automated.
Live energy varies. If multiple team members are rotating in, make sure everyone’s tight on tone and messaging.
You can’t “fake” the live portion. This isn’t a simulated chat drop. It’s real, human, on-camera time.
But those aren’t drawbacks — they’re why it works. The live close is what lifts performance without bloating your calendar.
Final Word
AEvent’s Hybrid mode gives you the best of both: automation at scale, and human connection where it matters.
Set it. Schedule it. Show up for the last 15 minutes or so.
Let automation handle the rest.
