Designed to meet the online presentation needs of corporate users, academic users and knowledge workers, U Webinar is recognized for its ease-of-use, lag-free streaming quality, and unique content organization tools. It is the perfect tool for distant learning an exploding industry. Since launching in August 2017, CyberLink’s comprehensive U platform has accumulated more than 50,000 live webinar events. The release of U Webinar v4.7 further expands its streaming capabilities to the macOS platform.

“Despite webinars and video conferences becoming ubiquitous to the business world, other tools put users through a long, difficult learning curve and earned reputations of being unreliable,” said Dr. Jau Huang, CEO of CyberLink. “We designed the U platform, and the U Webinar tool, to address and solve users’ frustration—and now U Webinar not only offers Mac users the highest video and call quality available but has made the technology as simple and intuitive as the Mac computer itself.”
