Although webcasts offer limited interaction options, as this form of online presentation is a “one-to-many” stream, you don't have to completely forego interaction.

During a webcast, online participants can still participate in surveys and ask questions via a text-based chat.

Send thank you emails, ask attendees for feedback, provide recordings of the event as video on demand, and send relevant reference materials. A post-event follow-up, for example as a survey, is also useful. In this way, you receive valuable feedback and show appreciation for the participants.

Camera: If you're just getting started with live streaming and hosting internal webcasts first, using a normal webcam or the built-in camera in a laptop is all you need. For large events with external participants, it is recommended to purchase or rent high-quality digital cameras to achieve particularly high image quality.

Lighting: Clear, high-contrast lighting with sufficient color saturation and brightness is essential to make the speaker clearly visible.

‍Microphone: Die The quality of the audio is crucial. A headset is a cheap option, but for professional sound quality, a high-quality stationary microphone with clear sounds, noise reduction, and avoidance of feedback is recommended. Also make sure the environment is quiet.

‍Encoder: An encoder is essential for live streaming. This receives the signals from the image and sound sources, processes them and transmits the signals to the streaming server.
Video encoding offers significant advantages: It reduces the file sizes of recordings and thus enables a smooth stream, it adjusts the video or audio quality and makes the stream compatible with all devices. Software encoders such as the free Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) are sufficient for most applications and process audio and video signals directly on the computer.

Computers and Internet: Computers with powerful processors and enough memory are suitable for a smooth stream. The Internet connection should also be stable. To ensure interference-free transmission, image and sound must be able to be sent to the streaming server without interruption.
With a test run before the webcast, you can avoid unpleasant mishaps and present them in a relaxed way.
