So you’re doing a virtual summit?
CONGRATS you will discover the power and exposure this will bring to your business. But now a question comes up: Should you pre record your talks with your speakers? Should you do a live stream? Or should you live stream the keynote then play the pre recorded talks videos according to the summit schedule?
Pre Recorded?
We always suggest the pre recorded route. Why? Great question! And the answer is simple. You will avoid any glitches, technical issues, and many things that could go wrong during a live stream. How many times have you attended an in-person conference and before the speaker starts talking their is a mic issue or the presentation is not working with the projector, or (my favorite) the one person that interrupts the speaker constantly. By having a pre recorded presentations, you can avoid all of that. And to clarify, it will only play when it’s scheduled so the attendees won’t know the difference. Not to mention, your virtual attendees can use one of our many tools to interact with the speaker and ask questions at the end or at any point of the presentation as the speaker would choose since they will be online during the event on their talk page.
Live Stream?
If you want to offer your attendees the live stream route, no worries, we got you covered. We have the ability to stream live to your conference page, youtube live, linkedin live, facebook live and periscope. Just keep in mind that the amount of attendees for live streams are always less than the pre recorded sessions due to bandwidth. Speaking of bandwidth, unless you’ve hired a professional AV team with a high uplink bandwidth (100 Mbps to 300 Mbps), you should expect a lag during the stream and the possibility of poor quality videos. We do not recommend Zoom for it’s many issues. But no worries, we have awesome more powerful alternatives.
