I found this fascinating article today:

Aberystwyth University has been successfully streaming graduation ceremonies over the internet for three years now.

Web development officer Simon Marshall said: “It has quite a broad range of appeal. It’s used by international students, but also by any relatives who can’t travel to the ceremony, even those within the UK. It’s not unusual for an undergraduate to be more than two hours from the family home when they’re at university, so it’s not always easy for people to attend. And, of course, tickets are limited.
