ustream.tv is the right answer these days for ad-hoc video; some
others are better if you want a whiteboard/chat. There are even

events in other parts of the world is commonplace and straightforward:
you have one person show up with a camera & laptop, point at the
stage, twewt the URL, job done.

(Debating the relative merits of live v. delayed v. in-person is moot
for someone that actually wants to see it live!)
