Webcasting Using Vereconference rooms

Vereconference rooms have just been updated to version 5 so that they now include a webcasting tool.

webcasting according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webcast
"A webcast is a media file distributed over the Internet using streaming media technology. As a broadcast may either be live or recorded, similarly, a webcast may either be distributed live or recorded. Essentially, webcasting is “broadcasting” over the Internet.

The generally accepted use of the term webcast is the "transmission of linear audio or video content over the Internet".

Webcasting is an ideal tool for online training and is simple to use you just log into your Vereconference room. Go to the whiteboard and select the webcasting tool.
You then select a pane on your computer screen which will act as your stage, thereafter any thing you place on the stage will appear as a webcast, recording sound and video. Your cursor appears as a large arrow so that your audience can clearly see what you are talking about.

The Vereconference room has recording facilities which as well as recording sites browsed, presentations on whiteboard and chats will also record webcasts.

To record a training session which includes a webcast first select the record function from the file menu, you will be prompted to name the file and choose the location. Once recording is on start your presentation including your webcast. When your presentation is finished, you will have a selection of files including the java presentation,mp3 and index file.

The index file can be editing to remove or reduce the chat area and also to allow branding of the recording with your own logo.

To distribute your webcast upload the folder to a server and provide a link to the index file. The webcast can then be run on a adhoc basis by anyone who has access to the file.

I have recorded a short webcast on how to use the webcasting feature within Vereconference on my personal website davidogden.org
