      <p>Part of getting <i>FIRST</i> into the public eye is to increase accessibility to live webcasts and archived videos of competitions. Hopefully this documentation will make it easier for volunteers to get as many events webcasted and archived as possible.</p>
      <p>Webcasting and archiving can be done individually, however doing both on one computer is most efficient. This page outlines a low-cost and easy to set up process to webcast and archive on a single computer.</p>
