Webcast with video and full motion graphics: Much easier than you thought!

Most people see a webcast with full-motion video and graphics and think, “Wow, that must be expensive and complex.” Well, it’s actually quite easy and within your reach.

I’m not talking about simple Go To Meetings web-casts. Rather, I’m talking about the real deal: live streams with full-motion, HD-quality video and graphics that stream live or on-demand over the Internet. This is the kind of impressive professional presentation that catapults a brand’s image and value.

The process is simple but requires preparation, technology and production support. First, here’s what you DON’T NEED:

  • A studio or professional filming space.
  • Satellite trucks.
  • Access to servers or other complex equipment.

Instead, you can use your office or conference room and a small camera crew to properly set up your session. Of course, you may want the look of a professional studio set that you can rent.

Web dissemination strategies

Webcasts open the doors to a multitude of powerful trading strategies. Can:

  • Broadcast meetings live for those unable to attend.
  • Poll audiences and display the results in real time.
  • Allow attendees to ask a moderator questions.
  • Provide attachments, links, presenter biographies, and more.

Also, during a presentation, our system records each “swipe forward” click as a marker. As a result, if the stream is available for viewing on demand, the end user can use a “slide sorter view” to quickly and easily access all parts of the stream.

it really works

I recently worked with a major technology company to produce and broadcast their 2011 kickoff meeting. The broadcast allowed people around the world to view and participate in the meeting from their local offices. It saved the company tens of thousands of dollars in airline tickets, hotel stays, and lost productivity.

Additionally, businesses, healthcare facilities and government agencies around the world use webcasting for training, employee briefings and corporate communications. The webcasts help these organizations to:

  • Build stronger teams with direct communication between management and employees.
  • Reduce travel and increase efficiency.
  • Empower staff through training and professional development.
  • Capture, preserve, and extend the reach of conferences and other events.
  • Strengthen sales, marketing and investor communications.
  • Reduce customer support costs while increasing customer satisfaction.

Also, if you are looking for additional sources of income, you can charge a fee for people to attend your webcasts and view breakout sessions. The opportunities are endless.
