How To Stream Your Teleseminar Audio Online
Lynette Chandler
Teleseminars cost money for you and others to attend. One way
to help bring more people into a teleseminar is to create
streaming audio of your teleseminar over the Internet.
Unfortunately, most methods of streaming audio over the
Internet can be expensive, difficult to setup for the average
user or both.
The good news is, you can now broadcast a streaming audio of
your teleseminar very affordably, in a secure and private
manner so you won't find any gate crashers if you sold access
to the call. Here's how.
First, get a web conference room. Web conference rooms vary a
lot from company to company but to broadcast your teleseminar
you'd want to look for:
Good streaming audio quality. This is a given. While every
technology is not perfect -- even telephones have a lot of
annoying beeps and static -- many web conferencing services
today have little problem with streaming audio. Often, issues
with audio come from user inexperience or computer settings but
this can easily be remedied with a little bit of help
documentation and education.
The next biggest consideration is a room that'll give you
flexible or good number of number of seats. You'll want this
because it's often difficult to anticipate number or attendees.
You can ask people to confirm and send reminders but there will
always be a certain percentage of no shows.
This will be a little challenging because most web conference
rooms sell by number of seats or per minute or both. Look for
flat rate options instead.
Don't get distracted with the rest of the services like video
if you're only looking for streaming audio. These usually bog
down the system because of the huge amounts of bandwidth
required to transmit video. Most web conferencing systems will
have video conferencing capabilities already built in. Does
that mean you shouldn't go with them even if everything else is
right? No, because often you can 'turn off' the video or simply
not use it and performance won't be affected. The point is it
shouldn't be a major factor in your consideration unless you
plan to transition to web conferencing and reduce the use of
the telephone bridge.
Once you've nailed down the web conferencing service provider
of choice, you'll need a key piece of equipment that'll pipe
your telephone audio into the computer and vice versa. One of
the best we've seen is the Dynametric TMP 636 or TMP 636S. Once
you have this, hook it up and you're ready to broadcast
streaming audio of your teleseminar online.
Now, you may ask why go through all that trouble when you can
simply look for a web conferencing service who has built in
telephone and streaming audio capabilities. That's a good
question and can only be answered by you. Consider the cost for
these integrated phone and streaming audio solutions? They will
naturally cost more but beyond dollar amount, are there any
limitations? Compare them with the cost of your existing
teleconference call line, your (preferably fixed rate) web
conferencing plan and the one time telephone patch.
So there you have it. One last pointer, consider how often you
conduct teleseminars and the number of people attending as
these are the biggest variables affecting cost. As a rule of
thumb, if you don't conduct that many teleseminars or you have
less people calling in, it'll work out better to have an
integrated solution. After all, why buy a piece of equipment
for streaming audio that you'll use infrequently. Given this
information, you'll be able to easily figure out which is best
for you.
