A webcast is a technology that allows the live broadcast of an audio or video event on the Internet. It is also known as Web lecture, virtual meeting, etc. The major advantage is that it gives room for an event to have a larger reach. Webcast participation can be through PC, smart phones, tablets and other devices with quality Internet access.
A Webcast consists of the <em>direct streaming of events</em> through the internet where users can access all the contents of the presentation and interact with the event promoter <em>as if they were in a physical conference</em>. The final user watches a video and listens to the speaker in high quality. At the same time, the user has access to Power Point slides or other similar materials that the promoter could use as support for a better understanding of the presentation.
