Launched a webinar, participants see a black screen. Some drop off, others hang on loading. Choosing a platform for online broadcasts comes down to three things: stability under load, real capacity, and ease of integrations.

We've gathered 11 platforms that maintain connection and don't cut the stream at peak attendance. Each is tied to a scenario: from internal meetings for a hundred people to selling launches.

💡 Quick overview:

• Check the table: it filters out unsuitable options by limits.
• Match the format to the scenario: live streaming for one-off launches, automated webinars for funnels.
• Launch a trial period of two platforms and verify connection stability.
