Russ, do you literally mean from the website in real time, or could
these be pre-loaded onto the laptop?  I think it would be
better to send out only what's projected.

Well, in the WG I go to, the chairs generally want the slides in
advance, so they (or at least their format)
need to be sufficiently generic to display properly on the chair's
laptop. I don't see that this would
be that different.

Webcams (and their compressions) are not intended to display tables of
text. To do a good job with
video of the screen, you still might want 1 Mbps, even at 1 fps. It's
more efficient to use software intended for the purpose.
