As the popularity of live streaming and webcasting continues to grow in the business world, we receive inquiries about our services and how an Orlando Webcasts live stream can be incorporated into conferences, town halls, workshops, employee meetings, promotions and other events. In this post, we'll answer the most common questions when preparing for a live streaming event.

Nearly any event can be live streamed with the primary factor being the availability of a high-speed Internet connection with a minimum upload speed of 5Mbps, though higher speeds could be required for certain events. Contacting the venue IT department and confirming the connection speeds, along with any associated costs, is the first step toward a live stream event.

Once the internet access has been verified, there are several possible routes to live streaming your event. First, you need to determine how your live event will reach it's intended audience.

Will a free service like Facebook, YouTube or Twitter/Periscope reach your target audience? These outlets can reach tens of thousands of people, can be replayed on the platform for additional views that can sometimes be larger than the live audience.

Is a paid service like WebEx, UStream, Vimeo or GoToWebinar a better choice? We stream to those platforms, plus LiveStream, Zoom, Skype and other hosting providers that cater to the corporate market. These platforms can be password-protected, allowing only those you choose to view the live stream.

Your third option is a webcasting service which allows even more security, better integration with PowerPoint slides, presenter Q&A, detailed analytics, custom branding, access to past events and other benefits. This option can also be the most expensive depending on the size of the audience and length of the event.

Choosing the correct distribution method is an important decision. You want to ensure that the live stream reaches the stakeholders who need to see it. Orlando Webcasts works with all of the options listed above and can help you determine the best solution for your event.

Now that you've determined how you want to reach your audience, it's time to decide how the video and audio are going to be filmed at the event site. 

Depending on where the event is held, you may need to work with the in-house Audio/Visual company to secure wireless microphones, a camera, lighting and other gear they are contracted to provide conferences and meetings at that site. Large events may already have IMAG (image magnification) cameras in the general session rooms. In those cases, we work with the A/V company and receive a feed from the camera and use that feed as the source for the live stream event.

In other locations, such as office buildings or smaller hotels/venues, we can supply the camera, microphones and lighting. Each event is unique, so we offer customized solutions to fit the needs of each project.

Town hall and all-hands meetings are regular events at many companies. These meetings allow senior leadership to talk with employees about important initiatives, policies and news.

When companies have multiple offices spread around a city, or around the country or globe, the ability to address all employees at one time, in a single event, ensures all stakeholders receive the same message. That's where webcasts enter the picture!

Private, log-in protected webcasts provide a virtual venue where employees can watch and even have the ability to ask questions. The event can be viewed on virtually any web browser, including phones, tablets, laptops and desktops.

Every event is custom branded with the client logo and important information about the event. Slide decks, videos, forms or other assets can be included to enhance the experience.

Companies of all sizes benefit from clear communication with employees and Orlando Webcasts provides webcasting solutions to help achieve that goal. Contact us for details.

Meetings and conferences benefit from live streaming by reaching stakeholders who can't attend in person. We can provide webcasting service to a range of viewing destinations, including:

• Stream to Facebook, YouTube or other social media site where anyone can watch
• Stream to a secure, private platform where viewing is restricted to those with credentials
• Stream to a pay-per-view platform where viewers pay for access to the events

Orlando Webcasts specializes in streaming meetings and conferences, especially in Orlando, one of the top convention destinations in the country. We work in all the top convention hotels and convention centers in the region, often in conjunction with the venue A/V provider since most do not offer streaming services in-house.

We see an increasing number of clients distributing live streams to social media channels like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter when they want to reach as many fans and followers as possible.

"We need you to live stream our meeting...tomorrow!" Those were the words of a caller not long ago. And the next day, we streamed all 8 hours of his one-day conference.

Orlando is one of the top convention and meeting cities in the United States, so it's no surprise that many of these conferences host top speakers, make major announcements and share life-changing breakthroughs. It's critically important that these messages reach as many employees, members, investors or stakeholders as possible.

If those people can't be in Orlando, live streaming is the best way to reach them and Orlando Webcasts makes it easy - even on those last minute events.

The Orange County Convention Center hosts over 200 events annually

Sometimes the weather interferes with attendees arriving on time. Other times, the decision to live stream the conference is made on site. No matter the reason, we're here to help.

Whether you need an entire production crew, or just the streaming service or camera crew, we're a phone call away, and our office is minutes from the convention district along International Drive.

There's never a late notice surcharge fee for our services. If we have the crew available, you'll get them at our standard price.

Need last minute help on your event? No problem. Give us a call or send us an email and we'll provide a free quote with the solution for your live streaming, webcasting, encoding or video production needs.

Live streaming an event, such as a town hall, keynote session or all-hands meeting allows presenters to reach distant audiences, increasing the impact of those events. With ever-increasing airline fares and hotel rates, live streaming allows better time utilization and reduced employee travel costs.

While most live streams and webcasts are used by companies with multiple offices throughout a region, or the country, live streams can be used when there is not sufficient capacity at the primary venue for all the employees within the building or campus. We've streamed to conference rooms on other floors as well as other cities - and viewing parties are a good way to keep employees connected and engaged.

Orlando Webcasts provides clients the option of monetizing their live stream events. Workshops, seminars and conferences can all benefit from live streaming, adding virtual attendees, no matter their location. Adding the pay-per-view option makes sense for events where the content, such as continuing education credits, are earned for attendees. Pay-per-view can also defray costs for event sponsors when important and marketable information is shared during the session.

Events can be scheduled, a branded landing page created and user-friendly, integrated credit card processing enabled. Events can run part of a day, all day or even multiple days. You can view a recent event here: https://zija.ce21.com/item/zija-summit-move-2018-241108

Once registered, attendees receive email reminders of the event and tips on logging in and viewing the live stream, all in an effort to minimize issues once the event is live. Live support via a toll-free number and email is available should viewers encounter difficulties in viewing the live stream.

On the day of the live event, attendees will login to a browser-based web player that includes a video feed and an optional slide deck feed in the left panel of the page. The right panel includes program information, schedules, speaker bios, handouts, chat and other customized options for the event.
