Recording of webinars

Our NHSA webinar sessions are recorded live to enable registrants to watch the presentations at a time of their choosing. Recordings of webinar presentations are also made available for purchase via our online shop after the series has finished. People who attend the live webinar session may have their image recorded by their video/sound/username display. All attendees can control what is captured in the recordings. ie. A person may choose to turn video off, remain on mute and only ask questions via the chat function using a non-identifiable username. Others may choose to keep their video on, keep an identifiable username and ask questions knowing that this activity will be recorded and seen by others who have purchased access to the webinar. All registrants have the option to not attend the live recorded session, and can learn from the recordings at a time that suits them. Thank you for being part of our Natural Health community.
