How do I deliver live training video online with interactive Q&A?

How do I broadcast live (video) training online? Most webinar solutions focus on sharing slides + webcam + teleconference. I need streaming video (primarily) + interactivity... not slides.

I provide live training. Trying to figure out what it would take to build/buy a way to deliver live training to 20-30 attendees in various locations. Would also like to archive the session for on demand viewing.

My biggest challenge is navigating through the jargon/technology... googling is an endless loop of mystery.

Most solutions (webex, yugma, gotomeeting, etc) tend to focus on sharing powerpoint with audio and a webcam. My primary content is me with a flipchart. Seems like I would need to stream live video + incorporate a way for people to ask questions + record for viewers to watch at a later time.

People really enjoy the Q&A part of the training -- which is why I don't want to just film for on-demand viewing.

Really need help getting started in the right direction.

Thanks!

Try looking into Acrobat Connect.

Seconding Adobe Connect.

My company has used it extensively with video and it works well for presentations & videos.

Some of the newer video sites (justin.tv, ustream.tv) look promising for this. Nothing to install, stream right from your browser, chat built in, etc. The only thing with those services is they seem to be public. I can't find anywhere to limit access. I'll look around and see if there are alternatives.
