Webcast mode works in real-time to convert your live webinar into a single video stream and then broadcasts it to your attendees. It will be automatically enabled for webinars with over 50 registrants.

The hosting experience is exactly the same, but for attendees, the webinar is packaged into a single video that plays after a slight delay (approximately 15-30 seconds). This is to ensure everyone has the same, reliable webinar experience.

If you have attendees with "last-mile" issues like firewalls, VPNs, Wi-Fi settings, and browser plugins that inhibit their ability to receive audio and video streams in webinars, Webcast will solve most issues. It will also help those on slower internet connections or attending on older/out-of-date browsers like Internet Explorer.
