If one wants to do a remote webcast via fast laptop & modem, strictly amateur for a small audience, what is an inexpensive way to have it hosted for live viewing, like a video conference or such. And minimal requirements for equipment? Does one need a dongle, depending on host? Can it be done from camera through A/V line to a capture device to a fast laptop to a wireless broadband modem and out to the host in a practical fashion? I'm a computer luddite, so I'll ask for advice from ya'll. Should I just ask my 10-year old? He watches iCarly. |

Try http://www.stickam.com/ You create an account and send the link to the people you want to view it. I've had good luck with it in the past. |

Gents, thanks. That last site offers enough options for a decision. Was talking with someone on another site about doing a live webcast from the salt flats, equipt needed & such. It's one thing to find a host charging $1 per peep if you know how many to expect. Quite another to go viral and wake up with 1M viewers and a substantial bill. The options from stickam.com control that. Very much appreciated help. |

If you don't have Powerpoint data to convey and have an XBOX on either end, the video conference capability could be had at the price of the XBOX camera and a network connection. |
