Sobre o Webcast 

The Webcast is carried out by the companies of Grupo Rumos , Rumo, Galileu, Flag, Profitecla, Escola Digital Rumos, Escola Professional Braga and Escola Professional Ruiz Costa. 

Cost

It's totally free just have to register in the webcast that Eventbrite is used. You can check the previous events here: https://www.eventbrite.pt/o/rumos-s-a-7582499537?past=1 and view the videos in http://www.livetraining.pt/arquivo.html. 

Platform 

The webcast uses the Adobe web conferencing platform better known as Adobe Connect and its use is not complicated. You only need to enter the room and take the verification and compatibility test on your computer. To ensure that you can see the video signal and image.

You can ask the speaker all the questions and talk to other participants who are present.

Video and audio quality

It all depends on the speaker's upload. Unfortunately, they do not use a isolated connection for the Webcast. In the last webcast I saw that it was "Be a Game Developer" their upload was so bad that the link was always falling, the voice always failing and it was not possible to follow up with the speaker. Sometimes the speaker did not realize that the voice was not being transmitted and missed a large part of the webcast. 

Even if you can not see the webcast until the end, you will receive an email with  an Internet address that allows you to view the webcast recording, and you may also receive a discount voucher.
