webcast

This term blends the concepts of the World Wide Web and traditional broadcasting, evoking a sense of wide-scale digital distribution. It is typically used in professional, corporate, or academic settings to describe official events that are streamed to a remote audience, carrying a more formal connotation than a casual live stream on social media.

As a noun, it refers to the specific instance of the broadcast or the recorded archive of that event. When used as a verb, it describes the technical act of transmission. While it follows standard countability for nouns, it is often used in the singular to refer to a specific event series.
