[Air-L] Livestreaming at AOIR

[Simon Edwin Dittrich]

Hi everyone,

I think Joly makes excellent points, and from my experience streaming for
the german Heinrich-Böll Foundation I can only emphasize that clean audio
is very important if not the most important aspect of Web casting. Unless
you have slides/presentations that provide some visual stimulus, webcasts
are usually pretty boring excepting what is being said.

Best,

Simon
