Options for Live Captioning All Events
Video captions benefit everyone. If you want to offer live captioning for virtual or live events and conferences you have many options.
LIVESTREAM YOUR VIRTUAL AND HYBRID EVENTS
Livestreaming technology gives you the option to broadcast your event from anywhere. Your engaging and successful virtual event can be produced entirely remote or filmed in-studio or on-location. Hybrid events are streamed in front of an in-person audience and delivered online.
We livestreamed 549 virtual and hybrid events in 2020-2021, and 150+ already this year. Please scroll down for examples of each type: entirely virtual, in-studio, on-location, and hybrid.
Professional Livestream Production Team
Our team is an extension of your team. You’ll have a dedicated production manager, director, and technical producer working together to ensure a high-quality webcast run like a live television show, broadcast in 1080p, and delivered to your audience online. During the livestream, the technical producer seamlessly transitions between live and recorded content, adding graphics, picture-in-picture, and web page captures.

The internet line must be free of upload restrictions and firewalls (often encountered in office buildings.)
Sufficient space for equipment and physical distancing is required. Only people essential to the virtual event should be on set during the livestream.

Hybrid Events
Hybrid events bring online and in-person audiences together. You can host one audience on-site and provide a livestream for guests who are not able to attend. This is a great alternative for event planners who would like to capture the in-room atmosphere and excitement of the live event while reaching a larger online audience. Options include welcoming a small group as a studio audience for an on-site livestream production, or add a livestream component to your in-person event. Watch recent hybrid events below and read about three examples in our blog posts: Beyond the Horizon Gala, Screentime Drive-In Gala and Inspire Hope Event.
