Can I live stream a presentation?
Universal Capture now provides the option to Live Stream a recording. Live streaming should only be used where absolutely necessary. There is little difference between a recorded lecture, that students watch at any time, and a live stream as there is no interactivity with the participants.
The University recommends using asynchronous (not live, anytime) activities so that students are fully able to engage with the learning materials at any time.
