What is a Webcast?

A webcast is a transmission of audio and video over the internet. Video cameras at our Council meetings capture the live information and send it, via our provider public-i to anyone that would like to view the meeting. Through the use of your Internet connection (either broadband or via a dial-up modem) and Adobe's Flash player you can view the meetings live from the comfort of your own home.

Should you miss a meeting, or would like to view a section of the meeting again, then you can view the archive of the webcast. The archives allow you to view a meeting and, through the use of the index points, allow you to jump to a specific agenda point or speaker.
