audio or video show on the web
A program with sound or video that people watch or listen to on the internet, often while it is happening live.
用法模式：
a [webcast] of [an event]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse "webcast" with "podcast". A webcast usually includes video or a live event streamed over the internet, while a podcast is typically an audio program you download or stream on demand.
Another mistake is using it only for recordings. In modern use, a webcast can be live or recorded.
近义词
livestream (Often stresses that the broadcast is happening in real time; commonly used both as a noun and a verb in casual tech and gaming contexts.)
|
online broadcast (More formal and descriptive; less common as a fixed term than "webcast" and may sound slightly technical.)
反义词
in-person event (An event that people attend physically, with no or little use of internet broadcasting.)

to broadcast online via the web
To show or play an event on the internet so that people can watch or listen from another place.
用法模式：
to webcast [an event]
常见错误：
Learners are unsure about the past form. In practice, both "webcast" and "webcasted" are used as past tense and past participle (e.g., "The event was webcast live" or "The event was webcasted live"), but "was webcast" is more common in professional writing.
Another mistake is using "webcast" only for video; it can also refer to audio broadcasts over the internet.
近义词
livestream (Very close in meaning but more common in everyday speech, especially in gaming, entertainment, and social media contexts.)
|
stream (Broader and more general; can refer to any continuous transmission of data, not only organized events.)
反义词
attend in person (Instead of sending the event over the internet, people are physically present at the place where it happens.)
