"Stream Connect is a simplified yet powerful interactive streaming platform that can be managed by the presenter through a series of seven simple steps."

Securely share presentations and multimedia right from your desktop, and get feedback from hundreds of participants — all using a web browser and the Adobe Flash Player, already installed on 98% of Internet-connected personal computers.
- Account based
- The simple account-based nature of Stream Connect allows you to do webcasts exactly when you want, at a moment’s notice. Once you’ve agreed terms on a package you’ll be free to use it as you wish and the reporting system will show you exactly how much capacity you have left.
- Multi format compatible
- We do not want to stay abreast of all the developments made by the multibillion dollar companies behind encoding technology. So we’ve left it to them. Stream Connect produces small files from which the commercial encoders start. We write a small but perfectly-formed text file, which allows you to start up the encoders ready to go.
- Easy to manage
- All of your on-demand and live webcasts can be easily managed. RSS functionality allows you to create clientspecific feeds. Use standard RSS readers to update users on new webcasts, or build a webpage to display the feed with a third-party application like Google Reader.
- Ideal with Powerpoint
- The most common requirement for interaction within a webcast is the speaker’s slides. The webcast control tool allows you to accurately match slide changes to streams in multiple formats.
- White labelled
-
Every webcast will need it’s own look and feel. We’ve developed a system that allows you to rebrand a template and then store your preferences in the template library for future use. Add chat, voting, downloadable content, links to other sites and information on the speaker to make an outstanding presentation without any coding or uploading to external sites.
- Interactive
- You should be able quickly add functionality to your webcasts and with Stream Connect you can. Simply select Chat On or Off or create a question with up to four responses. Automatic alerts are available as overage limits are approached, giving you the information you need to plan your finances.
