Skypecasting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Skypecasting is a portmanteau of 'Skype' and 'podcasting'.

Its original usage referred to recording Skype voice over IP voice calls and teleconferences. The recordings would be used as podcasts, which allow audio or video content to be syndicated over the Internet.

Skype launched a "Skypecasts Beta" service in 2006 where Skype.com hosts public conference calls, up to 100 people at a time. Unlike ordinary Skype p2p conference calls, Skypecasts support moderation features suitable for panel discussions, lectures, and town hall forums. Skype operates a directory of public Skypecasts. The "Skypecasts" term may now be subject to trademark.

As of April 21 2008 this service is yet not active for Mac or Linux users. Skypecasting requires a Windows Operating System.
