[Hidden-tech] Webcast/videostream solutions

[Stacy Kontrabecki]

For TEDxShelburneFalls we used http://new.livestream.com/tedx to easily 
stream live video and live speaker.
This does not have a login/attendee registration option, although you 
could keep the URL secret and use Wventbrite or BrownPaperTicket to sign 
folks up and email the URL  before the event.
URL to access the feed is open to unlimited viewers and does not require 
the viewer to download anything to their device.
There is no viewer/broadcaster interaction.
Archive files of the stream are generated and can be made public, or 
download before deleting.

This is probably not what you need, but thought I'd let you know in case 
it is helpful in the future.

>>     Hi All,
>>
>>     Does anyone have experience with webcast setup?
>>
>>     Here's what we're looking for in order of priority:
>>
>>     1) Webcast a live video and audio stream of a speaker to over 100
>>     participants (not a "webinar" screen share, but actual "talking head"
>>     video stream)
>>     2) Simple attendee tech setup (not having to download special
>>     software or
>>     plugins); runs in a browser window
>>     3) Ability to pre-register attendees
>>     4) Ability for attendees to ask questions via audio only (selectively
>>     turned on by moderator)
>>     5) Globalization of instructions for attendees from other countries
>>
>>     I realize that items 3 and 4 will be best handled by a solution like
>>     GoToWebinar or ReadyTalk, which we have used, or similar webinar
>>     platforms. However, GoToWebinar and ReadyTalk only offer
>>     videostreaming
>>     from a webcam for under 25 attendees.
>>
>>     So I'm thinking that a simple webcast platform might be the only
>>     solution
>>     and we would need to use separate software for registration (like
>>     Eventbrite), and perhaps a standard conference call bridge for
>>     attendees
>>     to call in and ask questions.
>>
>>     Any expert experience on this would be greatly appreciated!
