A wired ethernet connection with a minimum upload speed of 2.5 Mbps. (5 Mbps and up is preferred)

We suggest YouTube (seems more stable compared to Facebook) and Twitch.

It definitely depends on the production. If the presenter is entertaining and likes to move around, we suggest at least a two-camera setup. If the presenter is locked down to one position (I.e. podium) then a one-camera setup would be fine.

If it’s a very slide heavy presentation, we suggest PiP. The audience will get bored just looking at slides, so keep it interesting and let them see your beautiful mug too.

Absolutely and it’s recommended to do so. We can help with that if you don’t have the resources. We recommend (and use) Wirecast (https://www.telestream.net/wirecast/pro.htm) for seamlessly adding branded content and motion graphics to a live stream. It offers a handful of pre-made lower thirds, scoreboards, and motion graphic templates to add production value to any live stream. Custom content and also be easily implemented with Wirecast.

Take a short bathroom break (we’ll be sure to mute you), but your audience should be watching ads from your sponsors, announcements, and a countdown timer on when you will start back.

DMCA-safe music only, unless you have permission to use copywritten music. To be safe you should only use licensed music only. There are plenty of services that can provide this for you at a reasonable price.

We suggest you go live around 15-30 minutes before the actual stream begins. This will allow your viewers to have time to be notified of the event and will also allow the producers to quickly fix any technical issues that arise. After the stream ends we suggest keeping the stream going for at least 3 minutes to answer any questions in the chat and for the audience to catch up to the stream if they lagged behind for any reason.

You sure can. We can even help you produce those.

If you are allowing a live chat during your stream, it is mandatory to have a chat moderator. Not only to answer any subject matter that needs an expert, but also to keep the chat clean from trolls.

No stream is 100% reliable because, well, life, but we always have a backup plan for the worst-case scenarios. We record all video and audio content (on device) so in case the stream goes down for whatever reason, we can upload an edited video quickly to your platform account.

It’s always a good idea to at least have an outline of the events taking place. This keeps your team and the production company on the same page during the broadcast.

If time allows, we suggest a rehearsal of the event. This allows the production company to test the technical side of the event, and also allows the presenters to do a dry run before the event. Win-Win.
