Best Practices for Planning a Live Streaming Event

step by step guide to live streaming

PRE-PRODUCTION

    • ON SITE INTERNET TESTING. We conduct on site tests of venue’s internet live streaming capabilities, internet upload speed in addition to firewall restrictions etc.
    • EVENT LANDING PAGE. This is where online viewers watch the broadcast. We can either create branded landing page and deploy it on our server or if you choose to host it on your website while we provide “embed code”. If you have account on live streaming platforms like Livestream, Ustream, Youtube, Facebook etc. we can stream directly to their servers
    • SELECT LIVE STREAMING PLATFORM. If you don’t have account on Livestream, Ustream, Youtube, Facebook etc. we will select the appropriate live streaming platform for your project.
    • HOW MANY CAMERAS NEEDED. Since each project requires different approach therefore it is best to consult it with us. We will help to choose right solution.
    • DESIGN GRAPHIC PACK. Finally, we will design all signage required for the broadcast – lower thirds, bugs, images etc.

EVENT LIVE STREAMING

    • SET-UP TIME. Our crew will arrive to the venue early to set-up. Minimum 2-3 hours before the broadcast is recommended.
    • REAL-TIME INTERACTIVITY. Keep your viewers engaged during broadcast using chatrooms, text messaging, Twitter posts etc.
    • LIVE TWITTER interaction on screen.

Facebook Live video

According to Facebook data “people comment more than 10 times more on Facebook Live videos than on regular videos”

What is Facebook Live? It is a new feature offered by Facebook which lets users share live video with their friends, followers and public on Facebook pages. In addition, live video can be streamed in Facebook Groups and Events.
With exponentially growing mobile usage and prominence of social media users watch and create more video content than ever before. As a result, today one third of online activity is spent watching video. Cisco predicts that by 2020, 80% of all consumer internet traffic will be from watching video.
