Streaming Service

The Streaming Service allows you to broadcast audio and video content over the internet. Once a file is uploaded to the streaming server, you can display it in a webpage, a learning management system (e.g., Moodle), and many other online applications. To view or listen to the content, all that is required is a browser and Adobe Flash Player.
