SUMMARY

When you set up an online broadcast in PowerPoint, you have a choice of three server options. The first two server options are designed for use over a Local Area Network (LAN), and the third option is designed for use over the Internet. This article describes the differences between these options.

Do Not Use a NetShow Server

If you use this option, you will be able to broadcast your presentation to a maximum of fifteen audience members on your LAN. Computers who are not a member of your LAN will not be able to view the broadcast.

Use a Local NetShow Server On This LAN

Using this option, you can broadcast your presentation to an unlimited number of users on your LAN. Computers who are not a member of your LAN will not be able to view the broadcast.

Use a third party NetShow service provider

If you use this option, you can reach users on the Internet. When you select this option and schedule a broadcast, the web page listing third party NetShow service providers will open. You will then be able to contact a third party NetShow service provider for pricing and other details.
