Livestorm is a Paris-based SaaS company that provides a browser-based video engagement platform for webinars, virtual events, and online meetings. The product runs entirely in the browser with no downloads or plugins, making it easy for attendees to join from any desktop or mobile device while reducing friction and IT overhead.
Founded in 2016 by Gilles Bertaux, Robin Lambert, Tom Forlini, and Vincent Garreau, Livestorm has grown from a webinar-focused tool into a complete video communications platform that serves thousands of organizations worldwide. Customers range from startups to Fortune 500 companies across industries such as technology, finance, healthcare, government, and education, using Livestorm for product demos, customer training, virtual conferences and summits, internal all-hands, and employee training.
The platform differentiates itself with integrated registration pages, email cadences, and a rich suite of engagement features including chat, Q&A with upvoting, polls, emoji reactions, downloadable handouts, and a plugin marketplace for whiteboards, timers, and more. Built-in analytics, UTM tracking, replay analytics, CRM and marketing integrations, and a public API allow teams to sync event data into systems like Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, and dozens of other tools, making webinars and virtual events a measurable part of the revenue and customer lifecycle.
Backed by investors including Aglaé Ventures and Bpifrance, Livestorm has raised approximately $35M in funding and emphasizes security and compliance with ISO 27001 certification and GDPR by design. With a freemium model and scalable plans based on active contacts rather than per-host seats, Livestorm targets marketing, sales, customer success, and HR teams that run recurring webinars and virtual events and need a secure, EU-hosted solution with strong integrations and automation capabilities.
