Live Stream Virtual Christmas Program with Muvi

 

It’s that time of the year again when Christmas is round the corner and the smell of positivity and good cheer is all around! Well, things are going to look a little different this year with social distancing norms. However, in order to keep up with the holiday cheer and festivity, you can live stream Christmas programs to your friends and family and make Christmas a gala affair! In this post, we’re going to discuss some ideas for a virtual Christmas program with some tips on how to make your live streaming program a success.

 

Why Use a Live Streaming Service?

There are many benefits to using video live streaming services to broadcast your events specially during Christmas when your near and dear ones will not be able to physically visit you.  However, setting up your own live stream is a complicated process and requires technical skills and experience that the average business professional doesn’t have. We would suggest opting for a professional live streaming service provider like Muvi if you aren’t yet very familiar with streaming technology as it’s a more affordable and easy option.  

 

Kinds of Virtual Christmas Programs You Can Host:

This year’s Christmas would be slightly different. So, the ability to host virtual events could be useful. Here are a few holiday events that you could broadcast from your home.

 

 

Christmas Plays

Since it’s Christmas, hosting a virtual Christmas Play would undoubtedly bring a lot of engagement to your live stream. Christmas plays are ideal not only because they are fun but also because they can teach powerful lessons and form lifelong memories. They can easily be recorded and added to the archives as an on-demand video for playback in the near future.

An online audio/video platform like Muvi encodes your live streams at different bitrates to serve viewers with varying internet speeds. In this way, even during peak traffic, adaptive multi-bitrate streaming lets your users unlock a lag-free viewing experience, irrespective of the number of concurrent viewers.

 

 

 

Musical Performances

After nearly a year of not being able to watch live entertainment at movie theatres, music venues and comedy clubs, your friends and family would truly love it if you treated them to a virtual musical performance from one of the many talented entertainers currently struggling and having to adapt their on-stage acts to the online arena.  Although there is no match for a live performance, catching a performance via live streaming isn’t too bad either. All you need is good quality recording equipment and, your favorite virtual musical performances could be a huge hit.

 

 

Online Party Games

No online festive celebration is complete without party games. If you are live streaming to your employees, then party games can inspire team-building or simply enhance viewer interactions and intimacy between friends and family. It’s fun to include trivia-based games where viewers play together to answer fun, festive trivia questions along with photo, video and charades-type challenges. 

If you are a novice and an expensive camera and equipment is not currently in your budget plans, you can easily stream a live feed from Muvi Live App. Using the Muvi Live App, you can effortlessly broadcast live videos right from your mobile camera and go live in seconds without OBS hassles.
