Introduction
WyoCast is the process of capturing sound, video, computer images, and presentations and wrapping it all up in a package that can be viewed live (real-time) or later, on demand, using a simple Internet connection. Viewers can watch captured lectures in their entirety, or in specific sections, by simply selecting a slide in the presentation. From there, they have the ability to skip, fast forward, and rewind throughout the recording. This technology will allow classroom lectures to be available to students on the web and can be utilized in the recording and streaming of special events, supplemental material and much more.
Available to
Any University of Wyoming faculty or staff may make a request to schedule a WyoCast recording. Requestors have the option to ask for the recording to be available to the public for viewing, or the content can be restricted to only be viewed by UWYO accounts.
Procedure
To initiate a Wyocast request for recurring classes or for one-time events, click “Request Wyocast” and fill out the necessary information. If the location does not appear in the drop down menu, select the "Wyocast Mobile Event for Fee" and please put the location of the event in the description field. We need at least a 1 week advance notice to make sure that we have staff and equipment available for the event.

This service is available free of charge for academic and university-related use in:
