Other Ways to Invite Your Audience
WebCaster enables you to invite your audience in virtually any way that you can imagine. In addition to
WebCaster’s built-in tools, you can invite your audience using a personal email, a Website, a banner ad, a bulk
email service, or a pay-per-click advertisement.
Your unique webcast URL, automatically generated by WebCaster, is your key to inviting audiences through third
party processes. To find your webcast URL, go to WebCaster’s Email Screen (The
tab), and look at the text
that has been automatically generated in the email invitation message box, shown below. As circled in the figure,
the box contains your event’s unique URL.
