Live streams: One size does not fit all

While Zoom, Teams and WebEx are everyday tools in most workplaces, some live streams require a more robust platform. That's why Orlando Webcasts utilizes over a dozen different live stream platforms. Each platform has its advantages, depending on use and the audience.

We learn what the client needs and make a recommendation for the platform best suited for their event. Sometimes there are multiple choices, each with different features and price points. Our equipment connects to any live stream service provider, so our goal is to ensure the client has a great experience with their selection.

The most requested platforms are the ones mentioned above; Zoom, Teams and WebEx. Companies, and their employees, are familiar with the platforms which makes them a default, easy choice. They are designed for full interactivity, which sometimes is not what a company may want on a specific event. Keeping people muted or cameras turned off can be troublesome and distracting to the presenter and audience.

Zoom Webinars are a good option when limited interaction is preferred, but with Zoom, branding is limited, so it may not be the right fit, especially when dealing with outside audiences that could include potential clients, shareholders, fans or other stakeholders.

On medium-sized events, we often use Vimeo as the network provider. Sometimes we stay entirely on the Vimeo platform. Other times, we deliver the stream to our in-house website (https://webcast321.com), or to a host platform where we build a custom page or microsite for the event that is branded, offers registration options and valuable viewer analytics. This is often the sweet spot for companies wanting to make a great impression at a good price point.

One the largest events, we have been using GlobalMeet, formerly TalkPoint, for more than a decade. This enterprise-grade platform ensures the security, features and capacity for thousands of viewers, along with detailed viewer analytics that are often required by Fortune 500 companies, healthcare and medical clients, and and other large organizations.

Here's a list of the live stream platforms we've connected to in the past year:

Webcast321
Zoom
WebEx
Teams
GoToMeeting
EventLive
6Connex
Cvent
IBM Video Streaming
BeaconLive
StreamYard
Vimeo
GlobalMeet
Notify
YouTube
Facebook
Twitter
Twitch
There are countless other platforms, and we can connect to any of them.

Confused? Don't be. We're here to guide you through the live stream process and recommend solutions that meet your needs. It's our goal for you to have a successful event from all sides - audience, presenters, support staff and, of course, price.

Making webcast and live streaming event cancellations less costly

Like you, we've been affected by the coronavirus, and have adapted to how we work with our clients to provide as much flexibility and clarity as possible with our cancellation policy.

We want to make our webcast, live streaming and video production service cancellations less costly to our clients.

Effective Friday, March 6th, 2020, and updated June 10th, 2020, the following cancellation policy will apply for our projects.

Cancellation fees:
11+days; deposit refunded, minus pre-production costs*
7-10 days; 50% of fees paid
0-6 days: 100% of fees paid

Non-refundable: Preparation work we have completed is non-refundable and specifically detailed in the proposal.

Proposals are valid for 10 days, unless indicated otherwise.

*We are providing better clarity on fees that are non-refundable. When we spend time managing your project before the event begins, we'll provide a line item of those anticipated costs. Items in this category include meetings, site surveys, phone calls and emails, booking equipment and/or crews and other pre-production expenses. Those costs are non-refundable.

 

No one likes to cancel an event. It's a decision that upsets attendees, exhibitors, facilities and vendors. It can be a huge financial burden on the sponsoring company or organization. We hope our new policy provides some peace of mind to our clients in a time of uncertainty.

Meeting and conference live streaming services

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.

Our new 1-minute Meeting and Conference video highlights our services and uses video clips from a few of our recent live stream productions.

Last minute live stream? No problem!

"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.

Have questions about live streaming? We have answers!

As the popularity of live streaming and webcasting grows in the corporate and professional world, we receive inquiries about our services and how an Orlando Webcasts live video stream can be incorporated into conferences, town halls, promotions and other events.

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 7Mbps, 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 Live or Twitter/Periscope reach your audience? These outlets can reach tens of thousands of people and are frequently used for promotional events lasting less than one hour.

Is a paid service like UStream, Vimeo or GoToWebinar a better choice? 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 and video playback, a Q&A function to ask the presenter questions, 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, length of the event and other factors.

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 to 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 may need to supply the camera, microphones and lighting. Each event is unique, so we offer customized solutions to fit the needs of each project.

Live streaming for conferences and meetings

Orlando is the number one meeting destination in the country, with thousands of events occurring every year at the Orange County Convention Center and the many surrounding convention hotels and centers.

"Orlando continues to invest in our industry every year, with even more new additions to our expansive convention center district, innovative new venues and attractions, and more quality dining options for every type of group," said Visit Orlando President and CEO George Aguel. "To receive the honor of once again being recognized by Cvent as the No. 1 meetings destination in the country, only reinforces our ongoing commitment to this important industry" reported Cvent in it's annual report of top meeting destinations.

An increasing number of those meetings stream keynote and general sessions, as well as top breakout sessions to associates, customers and other stakeholders, and Orlando Webcasts streams many of those sessions.

Our Meeting and Conference and Encoding Services allow clients to secure the needed crew and equipment with a single phone call. We work hand in hand with on-site A/V companies including PSAV, Cramer, Production Resource Group and other event production companies to ensure a seamless experience for our clients.
