How much bandwidth does live webcasting consume at the receiving end?
The typical live video webcast with “good” quality featuring an interactive chat forum uses about 160 to 220 KBPS per viewing computer. Higher quality broadcasts will use up to 330 KBPS. (Audio- only webcasts are much lower at around 30 KBPS). If reception bandwidth is an issue, a group of people can be gathered around a single, large monitor with speakers, in a boardroom.
