Why Webcast?

Epping Forest District Council is committed to informing the public in the democratic process to encourage an atmosphere of trust with the electorate. Webcasting is the most effective way of distributing video to website users without the need for specialist software giving the public access to decision making and demonstrating transparency and providing opportunities for you the public to have your say.

Webcasting provides information in the format of choice for residents - video, making information accessible to residents in a cost effective and direct way.

What is a Webcast?

Webcasting (broadcasting over the Internet using the World-Wide-Web) is a transmission of audio and video over the internet. Video cameras at our council meetings capture the live information and sends it, via our provider public-i to anyone that would like to view the meeting. Through the use of your internet connection (either broadband or via a dial-up modem) and the free Microsoft Media Player you can view live and older meetings from the comfort of your own home.

Viewing a Webcast

Viewing a webcast either live or older meetings, is simple - all you need is Windows media player (which can be downloaded free of charge from the below link) and the Internet.
