# Account: Webinar Providers

SmarterU enables you to integrate webinars that you have available in [GoToMeeting](https://www.gotomeeting.com/), [GoToTraining](https://www.gotomeeting.com/training), [GoToWebinar](https://www.gotomeeting.com/webinar), and [WebEx](https://www.webex.com/) with courses that you've added to SmarterU. In order to make these webinar providers available to your instructor-led course sessions, you'll need to add them to your account.

When you [edit your account's settings](/v1/docs/editing-your-account-settings), the Webinar Providers accordion of the Account Profile workscreen includes the following settings.

A grid displays the webinar providers that have been added to the account. The columns of the grid are described below.

| **Column** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| **Name** | The [name](/v1/docs/account-webinar-providers#name) of the SmarterU webinar provider. |
| **Provider** | The [webinar provider](/v1/docs/account-webinar-providers#provider). |
| **Site Name** | The site name entered in the webinar provider's configuration. The site name is only applicable to WebEx and is used to make the link between SmarterU and the WebEx server. |
| **Total Users** | The total number of users currently linked between SmarterU and WebEx. |
| **Capacity** | The default [capacity](/v1/docs/account-webinar-providers#capacity) that will be used for sessions that use this provider. |
| **Connection Status** | Indicates whether SmarterU is able to communicate with the webinar provider: - Connected - Indicates that SmarterU is able to communicate with the webinar provider. - Disconnected - Indicates that SmarterU is not able to communicate with the webinar provider. When connecting to GoToMeeting, GoToTraining, or GoToWebinar, this typically occurs when you did not log into the webinar provider's site when you [added the webinar provider](/v1/docs/account-webinar-providers#adding-a-webinar-provider). When connecting to WebEx, it's likely because the site name/ID or password was incorrect. |
