Web Conferencing StreamingBetween web conferencing and video streaming conferencing, there is a difference. While web conferencing is primarily based on the sharing of application via the Internet, video streaming focuses more on the video piece mostly. Although a visual tool also, web conferencing also has its limitations. In web conferencing, you can see the computer screen of your fellow participants, however, you can’t see the participants themselves. In web conferencing, you can view and manipulate the slide presentations made by the meeting host but you can’t see the host himself. And so, the concept of video streaming was introduced. But video streaming alone also has its own boundaries and limitations. The most obvious one is bandwidth issues. Video streaming generally requires a lot of bandwidth and as such, reception can be jerky, or the sound may not match up with the mouth. By combining the interactivity of video streaming with the efficiency of web conferencing, you come up with a powerful hybrid of technology that allows you to focus on the good sides than on the downsides. Web conferencing streaming lets you see your fellow participants as well as share documents with them over various computers. A web conferencing streaming session can be access over the Internet by clicking on an onscreen link. It’s the convergence of broadcast (TV) quality video, multimedia, and e-commerce. Because of these wide set of capabilities, web conferencing streaming is often billed as an alternative to attending a live conference session. Here are some tips to help you conduct an effective web conferencing streaming session: Streamline your Slides Don’t put too much content on a single slide. Slide overload reduces your audience’s ability to comprehend your message. As web conferencing streaming attendees struggle to make sense of a busy slide, they are not listening effectively to your presentation. Remember that your slides are not scripts for your presentation. They should only contain key points and diagrams to graph key data. Review your Slides In the flurry of activity before a web conferencing streaming session, you may be busy coordinating audience registration, speaker training, fulfillment, and a hundred other details. So, you decide to just go ahead with the presentation when the date hits without even bothering to review your slides. While understandable, this should not be practiced at all. Almost all web conferencing streaming platforms will alter your presentation slides for delivery and viewing through a browser. They could become smaller in size which could result in fuzzy, muddy, and unprofessional slides.
