Webcast FAQs

What is a webcast and how does it work?

A webcast is a live video stream of an event or conference. Webcasts are polished, high-quality videos that bring your event to life on the internet.

One of the biggest benefits of a webcast is that it allows you to extend the reach of your event to thousands of people from around the world, rather than being confined to your physical event space. 

Wondering how webcasting works? Essentially, it’s broadcasting over the web. Webcasts can be streamed live or on-demand and require your audience to tune in, watch your webcast video stream, and engage by submitting questions and participating in polls.

What's the difference between a webinar and webcast?

If you’re wondering what the difference is between a webinar and webcast, you’re not alone. Although both webinars and webcasts are referred to as online events and help presenters connect with audiences, there are some key differences.

A webinar is a web-based seminar (web + seminar = webinar), which often takes the form of a presentation and utilizes PowerPoint slides, webcam, screenshare, video and audio. The defining feature of webinars is their interactivity and audience engagement, as they are all about two-way communication and allow for audience contribution via polls, Q&A and more.

Whereas, a webcast is a live video stream of an event or conference and is designed to reach large audiences of thousands. Think of webcast more like a television show than a seminar - as it has a TV/studio-like quality and allow you to bring a psychical event to life. 

So, there you have it. When it comes to webinars vs. webcasts, webinars are online seminars that allow for a two-way flow of communication and webcasts are live video streams that provide one-way flow of information.

How do you run a webcast?

If you’re wondering how to do webcasting, you can rest assured that you can create a webcast video stream in 10 simple steps:

  1. Choose your team i.e. speakers, guests and moderators
  2. Select the best day and time to run your webcast for maximum engagement
  3. Choose the platform you would like to stream your webcast e.g. the WorkCast platform
  4. Set up your webcast studio in the right environment with suitable equipment
  5. Secure sponsors for the webcast - if you’re streaming a live event
  6. Decide on a topic and create engaging content for the webcast
  7. Select whether you would like to stream your webcast live or on-demand for viewers
  8. Spread the word: promote your webcast using social media, email marketing, landing pages and more
  9. Do several dry runs before you do your webcast 
  10. Send your audience a post-webcast email with a link to the posted webcast to extend its shelf life
How do you host a live webcast?

Webcasts are no longer reserved exclusively for global sports events and large-scale conferences, which is due to webcasting equipment becoming more readily available and inexpensive. As the use of webcasts grows, the more people want to know how to do a live webcast. 

When it comes to live webcasting, whether you’re streaming a small event or conference, the 9 steps for running your webcast are the same:

  1. Plan your live webcast like you would any event i.e. choose your presenters and speakers, date and time, studio, topic and content
  2. Choose your webcast platform e.g. WorkCast Stratus
  3. Promote your webcast via social media, email marketing, landing pages and more
  4. Set up your webcast studio in the right environment with the appropriate equipment
  5. Set up your webcast in the back-end of the platform pre-event
  6. Practice, practice, practice - do a dry run to ensure your speakers and guests are prepared
  7. Run a test stream to test your internet and audio levels before you go live
  8. Ensure you have a backup plan for video, audio and the internet in case anything goes awry
  9. Follow up with your audience post-live webcast with a thank you email and a link to the on-demand version of the live webcast
