It offers registration pages, polls and Q&A, recordings, and integrations, with no live-event time limit on any plan. Attendees can join from browsers on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, and listed capacity reaches 5,000 attendees. Screen sharing requires a downloadable presenter app, which does not run on Linux. The free Starter plan does not expire and requires no payment card; it includes 5 attendees, 500 MB of storage, 2 speakers, 1 autowebinar per day, and 20-minute recordings. Paid options include Business at €33 a month for 60 attendees and 10 hours of continuous recording, and One-time access at €11 a month for 24-hour access without a subscription. Plans can be billed daily, monthly, or annually, and any plan can be tried for 24 hours without a subscription. Connections are encrypted, and access can be controlled with permissions and passwords.

MyOwnConference covers several webinar formats and provides browser-based attendee access across the listed platforms. Its free plan is limited in audience size, storage, speaker count, and recording duration.

It suits hosts who need live, automated, or on-demand webinars, with browser access for attendees across desktop and mobile platforms. The Starter plan may suit small sessions with modest storage and recording needs.

MyOwnConference is webinar software for hosts who need live, automated and on-demand formats, from small sessions to large events. Its no-cost plan is a low-commitment way to try the core tools, but its five-attendee ceiling makes paid access necessary for most public webinars.

Overview

Registration pages, recording, polls and Q&A cover the main stages of hosting and audience participation. Live events have no time limit on any plan, a useful advantage for sessions that may run long. The platform can scale to 5,000 attendees on Enterprise, though that capacity comes with custom pricing.

Key features

Hosts can run live, automated and on-demand webinars. Starter includes one autowebinar per day, while its 20-minute recording limit restricts its usefulness for full-length sessions or building a complete recording library. Paid plans offer continuous recording, including 10 hours on the 60-attendee monthly Business plan.

One-click invitations simplify adding co-hosts and speakers, with speaker capacity reaching 12. Paid accounts allow unlimited additional team members and permissions by area, which suits organizations that separate event delivery from administration. Google Calendar and Outlook sync support scheduling; paid plans also provide a public API for system integrations and data export.

Connections are encrypted, and hosts can control access with permissions and passwords. The company operates in the EU, uses EU-based Tier III data centers and supports GDPR rights. Support ranges from email and live chat to priority queues, with dedicated support on Enterprise.

Pricing

Starter is free forever and requires no payment card. Its limits—five attendees, 500 MB of storage, two speakers, one autowebinar per day and 20-minute recordings—make it suitable for trying the platform or hosting small sessions, not for a larger audience or long-form recording.

Business for 60 attendees costs €33 a month when billed monthly. It includes 10 hours of continuous recording and automated webinars, making it the clearest step up for recurring events that exceed Starter’s audience and recording caps. The annual 60-attendee Business option is billed at €26.40 yearly and includes automated webinars; its price is custom pricing.

One-time access costs €11 a month for 24-hour access, with no subscription required. It supports live events for audiences from 20 to 1,000 attendees; the plan’s stated allowance is 20 attendees and 24 hours. It suits a one-off event better than an ongoing program, but the audience allowance should be weighed against the larger range the plan is intended to serve.

Enterprise has custom pricing and supports up to 5,000 attendees, up to 1 TB of storage, 2160p recording and premium support. It is aimed at large events and teams that need those higher limits, rather than hosts seeking a low-cost entry point. Plans are offered as daily, monthly and annual subscriptions, and any plan can be tried for 24 hours without a subscription. The 24-hour trial is distinct from a separate refund policy.

Platforms

Attendees can join through browsers on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. Presenters need a downloadable app only for screen sharing, but that app does not run on Linux. Linux attendees can join, while Linux presenters who need app-based screen sharing should look elsewhere.

Who it's for

MyOwnConference fits hosts who want several webinar formats, browser-based attendee access across desktop and mobile platforms, or room to grow from a free plan to Enterprise scale. It is less suitable for presenters who rely on Linux screen sharing or anyone whose audience cannot work within Starter’s five-person cap.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Live events have no time limit on any plan, so hosts need not work around a session-duration cap.
• Pros: Attendees can join in a browser across five operating systems, including Linux, without needing the presenter app.
• Pros: A free, no-card plan and a no-subscription, 24-hour access option provide two ways to start without committing to a recurring subscription.
• Cons: Starter’s five-attendee cap, 500 MB storage and 20-minute recordings constrain larger sessions and recording-heavy use.
• Cons: Linux presenters cannot use the app required for screen sharing, despite browser access for Linux attendees.
• Cons: The one-time plan’s stated allowance is 20 attendees, limiting its appeal for larger events even though its audience range extends higher.

Alternatives

Browse the Webinar Software category to compare other webinar tools. LiveWebinar is another freemium choice with a free plan for up to five attendees and 30-minute sessions; choose it if those session limits suit your needs. Vimeo offers a free plan with one seat and 1 GB of storage, while its Starter plan is $12 a month for one user, 2 TB of storage and 2 TB monthly bandwidth; it is an alternative when those storage and bandwidth allowances are the priority. Webex App has a free plan for meetings of up to 100 attendees and 40 minutes, a better fit for shorter meetings within those limits.

Shindig offers a free plan for up to 100 participants per event, with a 40-minute maximum, four speakers on stage and 1,000 user hours per month; it may suit a host whose needs fit those event limits. Zoho Webinar has a free plan for 20 attendees and 60 minutes per webinar, making it an option for smaller, time-bounded sessions. Cvent is a paid alternative whose registration product can be tried for free. InEvent is another paid alternative. Zoom Scheduler offers a free Basic plan with one personal booking page and one calendar connection, and a Scheduler plan at $4.99 a month billed annually; choose it for booking-page and calendar needs rather than webinar hosting.

Verdict

MyOwnConference is a good fit for hosts who need live, automated and on-demand webinars, browser access for attendees and flexible event duration. Its free plan is a useful entry point, but the five-person cap and short recordings quickly point regular hosts toward paid plans. Linux presenters who need screen sharing, or hosts who need a generous free audience allowance, should consider another option.
