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.
