Purpose
Known also as "webcasting", web streaming is a technology to deliver live images and sound on the web (Internet or Intranet).
Web streaming helps the European Commission to "communicate Europe" in a transparent way. It also represents a means for organising sustainable conferences and information days as no travel is required on the part of attendees.
Definition
Web streaming allows people to follow a meeting, conference, workshop, etc. from the comfort of their own offices or homes using their PC.
...
The cost of setting up a web streaming is to a large extent offset by savings made on time, travel and stay that also result in the added benefits of reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Moreover, the Internet can host more people virtually than any conference room can and there's no need to rent a large conference room to accommodate them.
