If you’ve used Instant Teleseminar before you may know that sometimes the event is perfect, just as it is.
Other times,
- you can kick yourself for stumbling over a few words,
- or a guest speaker said a few too many self-promotional words
- or your internet connection cut out and there were a few uncomfortable moments trying to get it back.
In all the above cases, it would be ideal to be able to edit the audio mp3 file and use the edited version as the replay on Instant Teleseminar. It’s possible and here’s how! This article will describe steps 1 and 3, the editing part will be discussed in a separate article.
The main steps are:
- Download the audio file from Instant Teleseminar
- Edit it with software like Audacity (completely free) or Gold Wave (limited free functionality)
- Upload it again to Instant Teleseminar for replay purposes
Now for the detail steps:
Download the Audio from Instant Teleseminar
You can do this in one of two ways:
- From the webcast page where all your listeners can download it as well or
- From within the Control Panel of your Event itself on the Recordings tab
Here’s a short video clip to show you exactly how to find your recording.

Edit the Audio
I’ll show you how to edit the audio in a different article. For now, let’s assume your audio has been edited and exported as an MP3. Remember, Instant Teleseminar requires that the file is
- Smaller than 25 MB
- Mono (not stereo)
- Exported at a 24kbps CBR (Constant Bit Rate) and 22.05khz (in the settings of Audacity)
Upload to Instant Teleseminar
Your audio has to be in a very specific format before Instant Teleseminar can accept it for upload and replay.
- Make sure your audio is in the correct exported MP3 format. Watch this video clip for the technical bits mentioned above.
