webcast
Internet video stream
A webcast is a broadcast transmitted over the internet—audio, video, or both—typically streamed live or made available for later viewing: The conference will be available as a webcast for those who can't attend in person.
Unlike podcasts, webcasts often imply real-time viewing, though the distinction has blurred.
The verb means to transmit such a broadcast: They webcast the event to thousands of viewers.
