"We do quarterly webcasts (every three months, so not that often)and are a not for profit with limited funds. Webcast numbers are 200+ usually with 2 or 3 presenters and a moderator. Webcasts must be archived. I don't know what application sharing and browser sharing above mean. I have a current service but the higher quality platform, where questions and comments can only be seen by the moderator, is limited to 100 participants. I'd prefer email responses to phone calls. Thanks."
