Delayed Live Webcasts
It is sometimes useful to pre-record a video before streaming it as if it was a live webcast. Webcasting in this manner is somtimes called a Simulated Live Webcast.
There are several reasons that people use simulated live webcasts.
For example:
The audience is split over different time zones:
You can broadcast the same webcast several times in different time zones so that viewers do not have to watch at unsociable times!
The content is sensitive material.
Streaming Wizard has webcast surgical procedures for training purposes. It was important to broadcast at a specific time in the students course, but for obvious reasons, it would not be helpful if complications in the procedures lead to surgeons performing tasks which were not related to the course.
Product launches:
Sometimes it is important to pre-prepare a product launch so that everything runs smoothly, and the hiccups associated with live broadcasting do not occur. Using a simulated live stream, you can run through and even edit your video and then send it out as if it was live.
