Hello Noemí,
Please note that during a "Meeting clients at ProZ.com" webinar no video is recorded as the most interesting part is a seminar where attendees will be offered to participate in a workshop and get comprehensive help from a member of ProZ.com staff. Also, attendees will find out what ProZ.com winning strategies are and how each and every webinar attendee can use them. In this regards it is advised to attend a webinar and get live help.
