What is Webcasting/Streaming?
Webcasting, also called streaming, is a way to distribute a recording of a class or event over the internet. This is video and/or audio of a class or event you can view live on your desktop or laptop computer using a Flash media player. All live classes or events can be archived for viewing on-demand anywhere, anytime. You can also choose to have an archive only version of your recording for situations in which you want to control the timing of access to the recording.
