Face to face meeting vs Webcast

The webcast can be very useful to talk about specific topics to a very large audience that is long distances, allowing them to see the presentation in streaming and not spend on hotels and travel tickets. The webcasting serves for a video or audio broadcast from one person to many making the feedback between the sender and receiver impossible.

Although at present many of the platforms that offer the services of webscast offer a chat service to interact with the presenter in many occasions is useless by the large number of people who writes in the chat at the same time since a transmission in webcast is not confidential anyone can access your channel without restriction.

Many webcasting people do not have high speed internet connections and this causes transmission drops or transmissions with poor audio or video quality, even companies that support large audiences transmit low quality signals.

Unlike webcasting, meeting face to face brings many more advantages than drawbacks. The meetings between companies face to face offer confidentiality that we do not have in the webcast, also an effective communication between the attendees of direct and informal form. One of the great disadvantages of face to face is that it is useless for large audiences creating a poor retention of the listener. If to participate in one of these meetings you have to travel the cost can be very high.

In conclusion the webcast is not as interactive with viewers as it could be a small meeting between companies.
