 * I’m planning to do a webinar for around 200 attendees. If I choose Media source/
   Content type as YouTube Live or YouTube (Pre-recorded video), does the streaming
   go directly from YouTube server to attendee? I wonder if the data traffic needs
   to go through the server which hosts my WorldPress website because I’m afraid
   my server will be the bottleneck for the streaming performance.

 * Thanks for your reaching out.
 * Youtube will handle the streaming load but each connected attendee adds a small
   load to your server to handle the real-time chat feature as well as normal webinar
   updates. All servers are different so we can’t say for sure how many attendees
   your server could handle. The Pro version uses a feature called WebinarPress 
   Connect which moves most of the processing to our servers so your website can
   handle a lot more attendees. With this setup, we have users running websites 
   with 200-300 attendees online at once but that will vary depending on your own
   hosting and also if you have a lot of plugins on your site that might slow things
   down. You can learn more about WebinarPress Connect here:
