Conclusion
You don’t have to spend RM7600 to stream your
webinar/lectures online. Instead you can pull it off with a
budget of EUR5 by doing what I did.
Of course the Finance Department won’t allow you to do
that because public universities can’t buy stuff online,
instead you must go through the local vendors.
But at least I have proven that technology wise, it is
feasible. I don’t want to comment on the other issues.
