Communicast Now Offers Self-Service, Instant Recording of
Live Web Conference Audio, Video and Data with One-Click Replay™
New archiving tool also collects user information
and results from polls, surveys, tests and other reusable
objects for applications such as marketing, research and e-learning
for compliance, certification and continuing education.
HERNDON, VA, June 23, 2004 – Communicast,
Inc., the leader in easy-to-use, full-featured event web conferencing,
announced today the release of Communicast 3.2. The most important
advancement in the product is the new self-service feature
called One-Click Replay that enables a presenter to instantly
record audio, video and data from a Communicast web conference
or webcast with the click of a button. In addition, the One-Click
Replay continues to collect participant data results from
interactive tools, such as polls, surveys, assessments and
brainstorming, after the live event has concluded. The reporting
function shows who attended the live event or the archive
and how they responded to the interactive tools. Other product
enhancements include a larger video window and shorter URLs
for Registration Manager and asynchronous interactive tools.
"We had initially developed the One-Click
Replay functionality based on client's requests to create
an archive without having to schedule it ahead of time with
our staff" explains Dale Coyner, Chief Technology Officer
at Communicast, Inc. "Now that One-Click Replay is in service,
an entire new opportunity is emerging that allows clients
to use One-Click Replay as an authoring tool. A user can quickly
and easily create his or her own on-demand presentation with
full multimedia and interactive elements."
About One-Click Replay
One-Click Replay captures nearly every element of a Communicast
web event and makes it available to participants on an on-demand
(asynchronous) basis immediately after the event has concluded.
One-Click Replay delivers all the slides, polls, surveys,
marquees, pictures, web content, audio and video of the original
web event exactly as it happened. One-Click Replay is more
than a traditional "fixed" archive. Interactive features such
as polls, V-Charts™ (virtual flip charts), surveys and tests
are "live," just as they are during the actual event.
This means clients can continue to collect data from participants
who view the Replay just as if they had participated in the
live event. One-Click Replay is ideally suited as an authoring
tool for applications such as marketing, research and e-learning
– including compliance, certification and continuing education
(CEU, CME, CLE, CPE, etc.). Because One-Click Replay records
a web event "as is," Communicast continues to offer optional
post-production services that edit Replays to deliver an archive
that is even more polished. One-Click Replay is now available
for use in Communicast web events with prices starting at
$195 USD per archive which includes 90 days hosting and unlimited
views.
