Frequently Asked Questions about Webcasting

What is Webcasting?
Webcasting is the transmission of live or pre-recorded audio and video to computers that are connected to the Internet. Similar to TV or radio, webcasting provides "one to many" communications. The software that enables webcasting is known as streaming media.

What should I expect?
Once you log onto the webcast, you will see:

  • Video picture of speaker

  • The speaker's powerpoint presentation

  • Live Chat dialogue box (optional)

If the Live Chat option is being utilized, this will allow you to pose questions to the speaker. Just type in your question and click Send.

What are the benefits of webcasting?

  • Convenience - View educational conferences from your office or home at a time that is convenient for you

  • Outreach - People from all over the world can attend a conference as long as they have a PC with an internet connection

  • Reduce Travel Cost/Time - Participate in live meetings without having to physically be at the conference
