Geminars
Conversations around videos — without schedules, pressure, or noise.
Geminars are not just about Video-On-Demand. It's also about conversations around the video. Here you
can also get just-in-time live audio from the author.
Each viewer watches the video in their own time. And send group chat messages too.
The author can step in any time, and speak to the audience in real time.
The author can also be beckoned by the audience.
Start using Geminars free of cost.
100 credits free when you register. Pay-as-you-go: 0.5 credit for 1 chat message.
5 credits for beckoning the author. 1 credit per minute of author talk-time. 1 credit = 1 Indian Rupee.
Why webinars don’t really work
They assume value is obtained from scheduled performances.
Forced schedules
Everyone must sync their time.
Real curiosity doesn’t follow calendars. Miss the slot and the entire conversation is lost.
One-way broadcasting
Questions become interruptions.
Interaction is constrained by time pressure, moderation, and social hesitation.
Ephemeral value
Everything evaporates post event.
Even when recordings exist, the dialogue that mattered rarely survives.
What Geminars does differently
A Geminar is not an event. It is a place.
Always-on viewing
Watch at your own rhythm.
Viewers come and go naturally. The video waits; it does not demand attention. It respects that people may have different Internet speeds.
Asynchronous dialogue
Conversation grows over time.
Messages accumulate meaningfully, rather than being rushed through a narrow time window.
Author beckoning
Presence when it actually matters.
Authors can be invited into discussion any time. Or they can come in volutarily. The author then conducts a live-audio session with the audience.
How it works
Minimal machinery. Maximum calm.
Bring your video
No hosting lock-in.
Use your own infrastructure. Geminars surrounds your content — it doesn’t trap it. ALL PeerTube embeddable videos are supported. As well as other MP4/HLS links.
Audience arrives naturally
No attendance anxiety.
People engage when curiosity strikes, not when reminders force them. Easily share the geminar link with others. Create your own audience.
Conversation persists
Dialogue has memory.
Group chat messages don’t disappear. Thoughts accumulate, references emerge, and the discussion matures over time.
Who Geminars is for
Learning, teaching, explaining — without theatrics.
Geminars caters to everyone: educators sharing knowledge, professionals explaining tools or ideas, business/product marketing, creators building thoughtful audiences, teams discussing material asynchronously, communities that value conversation over broadcast
Authors
Share ideas without hosting events or chasing attendance.
Everyone today is an author. Most of us have some video or the other
which should reach its correct audience. At their terms. Geminars is the perfect place to share
them with the world. Geminars do not host the videos. Just provide the links
to the actual locations of the videos.
Authors can also make the viewers pay for the chats -- and even earn extra credits from the audience.
Viewers
Engage on your own terms — thoughtfully, not hurriedly.
Every viewer can consume the video at their own pace and time.
They can leave their chat messages, and include the time-value
at which they had paused to react on the video. Other viewers
can read all those messages.
Viewers can even place their own private tags on videos. Better than playlists.
Not a webinar. Not a livestream: A simpler; more humane way to gather, talk and uplift value.
Pay-as-you-go only for interactions. Videos are provided by you and hence, never charged.
