Hosting remote events have become quite popular over the past few years. Both global organizations and streaming enthusiasts have migrated to virtual conferences and live streams to keep up communications with remote employees/global viewers from all corners of the world. In this blog, we’re going to talk about how to live stream virtual conferences and how to plan a virtual event of your own during this pandemic.
Streaming a virtual conference is quite simple if you have planned your content beforehand and opted for a professional cloud media server! All you need is stable internet connection and decent streaming equipment. So, here you go- the basic steps to live stream virtual conferences.
Opting for a professional live server will give you a leverage over other free consumer-grade platforms available on the internet. A live streaming server like Muvi Live Server lets you stream live conferences/meetings with low latency. Also, its VoD option comes in handy if you’re hosting a virtual event because it allows you to upload the stream for employees who either missed the event and can watch it again.
In order to live stream events in a professional way, you require some streaming equipment like:
However, it’s not always possible to get professional video recording cameras to live stream virtual events. Go for any decent camera or microphone depending on your budget or technical expertise. However, it’s always a good idea to invest in good quality streaming equipment as they can be used for a lifetime, so you will definitely see a nice return on your investment if you are hosting paid virtual events or live streaming holiday events.
To broadcast your live virtual conferences, you will be needing a steady internet connection with good upload speed. Ideal upload speed is 1MB per second and greater. It is always a good idea to test your upload speed for live streaming before you start to actually live stream. There are many tools available on the internet for this purpose. The easiest and the most popular way is to check it out online at speedtest.net.

If you are thinking of live streaming to a remote audience, you should always plan your content in advance. Things like choosing your topic for live streaming or choosing speakers for creating workshops, should be done well head in advance.
It’s a good idea to include Q&As in remote conferences. They are actually great for making your live virtual event more engaging. You just have to let attendees know how questions should be submitted beforehand.
