Webcast Hosting Question

I'm going to start off with: I think this thread really belongs elsewhere (like the IT/Communications subforum), but I suspect it'll get more traffic here.

I volunteer with a group that is just starting to do some webcasting. One of the viewers of the most recent webcast noted that in a span of a couple hours, no fewer than 6 full-screen ads came up. And we don't like full-screen ads, particularly due to the content of the webcast needing to be largely uninterrupted.

So, what I'm wondering is, is there a free webcast hosting service that does NOT place full-screen ads? (Or that gives users the ability to turn off the full-screen ads?) We'd actually prefer zero ads period, but that's a whole lot tougher to find these days. Stream recording ability is preferred. (We can record in other ways, but would prefer not to have to lug out a second camera.)

I also figure that some FIRSTers would like to know about any such services; after the 5th time per screen on multiple screens, ads during regional webcasts get really old...
