FAQ

What is a Video Conferencing? Video conferencing can be easily described as a telephone conversation that allows you to be face-to-face with one another. The nature of videoconferencing is that it takes place during real-time. For the most part, web conferences take place across the Internet, from PC to PC. This is what is referred to as desktop video conferencing. There is a wide range of hardware and software components that you will need including video/web cameras, microphones, speakers and codecs (to compress the transmitted/received signals). Multipoint conferencing allows three or more participants to sit in a virtual conference room and communicate as if they were sitting right next to each other.

What is a webinar?

A webinar is a seminar presented over the Internet or World Wide Web (Web + seminar = webinar) and viewed with a computer with an Internet connection. Webinars consist of both visual and audio information. A telephone is not required but a computer equipped with speakers is the best way to experience the webinar. A webinar can also be listened to via the use of a telephone but again the best learning experience is attained with the use of a computer equipped with speakers so that you can attend to both the visual and audio components of the presentation.

What is a live webcast?

A Live webcast means taking the media and broadcasting it in real time over the Internet. Live media streams are generally provided by a means called true streaming. True streaming sends the information straight to the computer or device without saving the file to a hard disk

Where are webinars held? How far must I travel to attend a webinar? Since the content of the webinar is delivered directly to your computer, there is no need to travel anywhere. You may 'attend' a webinar anywhere there is a computer with Internet access: your office, at home, or while travelling. Webinars allow the sharing of information without the travel and other costs associated with traditional seminars and workshops

You can also share the signal from your WebCam solo, or while SIMULTANEOUSLY sharing your screen or presentation (commonly known as Picture-in-Picture). There are simple controls in the User Interface that let you switch between display modes.

Plus, if your meeting has more than 6 participants, they can listen in and see the meeting, and add contribution via Chat. Plus, with Attendee Spotlight, you can bring non-presenters into the on-air meeting with the click of a mouse.

Compared to most other webinar services, your prices are low. Are you sacrificing quality or cutting corners to achieve these prices?

That’s a GREAT question! Plus, thanks for noticing how EXPENSIVE our competitors actually are. Our perspective is pretty simple - the most expensive cost of a Webinar Broadcast is the VIDEO BANDWIDTH that's used to send your signal around the world. And just a few years ago, our current price would have NOT been possible. But, as the Bandwidth industry evolved, so did Bandwidth prices. Where Video Bandwidth was once a premium commodity, it's now priced closer to a Utility. Our prices reflect that evolution. Everything we do is at the highest level possible. We use great, powerful auto-scaling server technology, enterprise class email sending, and work with technology that's on the cutting edge of performance, while taking into consideration that it needs to work flawlessly for a vast group of Webinar-Givers. No, we don't cut corners. We maximize value.

What kind of equipment do I need? All you need is a computer with an Internet connection (high speed service such as DSL or cable works best) or smart phone with a strong Wi-Fi connection, and speakers. You may also use a headset instead of speakers or you may listen to the audio by calling the phone number that is included in your confirmation email.

Webcasting vs Video Conferencing. What's the difference?

Webcasting is essentially broadcasting over the internet and is traditionally used for deploying messages from one source to many simultaneous participants. On the other hand, Web Conferencing is traditionally used as a source to communicate between 'many-to-many participants'. However, with Video Conferencing, interaction is usually between smaller groups (e.g. think of a business meeting of 6, 12, 24 people) vs. with Webcasting, you can broadcast your message to 50, 500, 50,000 people, or more.

Webcast vs. Webinar. What's the difference?

A "webcast" refers to information dispersed to a large audience via the Internet. It might be just a simple audio stream, or it might include visual aids, such as presentation slides, recorded video clips, or live software demonstrations. A "webinar" expands the idea of a webcast into a more interactive format. The experience attempts to reproduce the benefits of attending a live seminar. Audience members can ask questions of the presenter, the speaker can survey or poll the audience and get feedback as he or she delivers the information.

Do participants need to install anything in advance?

No. Our webcast technology does not require any software plug-ins. Our infrastructure is based in Flash and most computers now have Flash installed. Flash has had a bigger penetration than Windows Media allowing it to work flawlessly in MACs and PCs. New technologies like HTML5 will also make plug-ins non-existent, as any computer in the future will have that technology.

Do participants need access to both the internet and a telephone?

No. All of our solutions and services are delivered to your participants via a single computer, tablet or mobile device with access to the Internet.

What formats do you support for webcasting?

Flash, Windows Media, & Microsoft Silverlight.
