Q: I have a campus event that I would like to offer to off-site participants, but wanting more professional production than Zoom offers. Can you help?

MedIT can webcast your event instead of using a webconference tool like Zoom. With webcasting, we use professional equipment that allows multiple cameras, and the transmission presented to online participants is much better quality than Zoom or a similar commercial tool can provide. The basic elements of the online experience are analogous to Zoom, with off-site participants viewing the presentation live at their own PCs, and using the text chat function to ask questions. Like with Zoom, your off-site participants are given (via advance email) a url to access the webcast site. During the Q and A, the moderator of the live session can read questions that have been sent by off-site participants and answer these along with questions from the live audience. The session can also be recorded (note that the recordings are also higher quality than a Zoom recordings) and made available on demand after the session.
