Repurposing Teaching and Webinar Recordings into New Content

Why So Many Companies Overlook the Potential of Webinar Recordings

Since the pandemic, many companies have shifted entirely to digitalization, including in Learning & Development. Demand for learning video production has surged so employees can receive standardized training effectively from home.

Even now, many companies still practice hybrid learning. One common form is live online teaching sessions using platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, and others.

Compared to producing a full learning video, these teaching sessions are the easiest option, since they only require an instructor and participants at an agreed time. Yet it's a shame when these sessions aren't recorded and reused as new teaching material.

According to a survey by Kaltura on training webinars in 2022-2023, only 35% of the 250 respondents said their company had already put a process in place to repurpose webinar recordings.

This shows that many companies still haven't recognized the benefits of repurposing teaching or webinar recordings. Yet this recycling process can save both time and cost. Recorded material can be redistributed repeatedly, reducing the cost of running teaching sessions or webinars.

Ways to Repurpose Teaching or Webinar Recordings

1. Recorded material can be reused as social media content

For example, pick a long webinar recording and select one essential topic. Then choose key or compelling moments from the speaker, and turn that compilation into an Instagram reel or a post for other social platforms.

2. Using recordings to support the next session

Say your next teaching session moves into a new discussion that builds on the previous one. The recording of that earlier discussion can be reused as a recap video or as supporting material.

3. Selecting specific segments to build into a standalone learning/training video

Similar to social media content, we can pick out specific segments from a recording and combine them into one cohesive, shorter video that's far easier to distribute.

A Production Strategy for Learning Videos from Existing Recorded Assets

Monkey Melody has worked with PLN to build a video script by drawing on existing written materials and recorded workshop footage. This meant we didn't need extensive direct discussion with the subject matter experts to produce accurate content.

We can also help insert motion graphics/animation into clips from recorded teaching sessions, webinars, or workshops, making the video more engaging and easier to digest.

If your company needs to repurpose old recordings of teaching sessions, webinars, or workshops — or build a motion graphic learning video from scratch — Monkey Melody is ready to help, from pre-production through post-production.

Monkey Melody understands that every company faces different challenges and has different goals.

That's why we offer a tailored approach to ensure every video we produce achieves the intended training outcome. Ready to transform your company's training materials into effective learning videos or interactive videos?
