Event streaming and livestreams
A good livestream means picture, sound and a stable connection working together. We prepare, run and monitor the stream so that things go just as smoothly online as they do in the room.
Scope
What streaming includes
Online viewers want to understand what's going on and not lose the thread. That takes picture, sound, presentations and a stable connection working together. We take care of all of it.
- IN 1Picture and sound production for the livestream
- IN 2Connection tests and live monitoring, so we can react before viewers see a problem
- IN 3Backups for the most important elements, where it makes sense
- IN 4Presentations and videos fed into the stream
- IN 5Recording of the event (optional)
Formats
What most often ruins a stream and how we guard against it
- 01
Poor sound
Sound matters more than picture. We prepare a separate, controlled audio feed for the livestream. Viewers will understand the speaker even if the picture is only average.
- 02
No plan for failures
We agree the rules: who decides, what we tell viewers and how quickly we switch to the backup option.
- 03
Chaotic switchovers
We map out the switchovers and stick to the rhythm of the programme. There's less downtime and no silence in the stream.

Frequently asked questions
Does streaming include connection tests and monitoring?
Yes. We test the connection before the event and keep an eye on the stream throughout. We react before viewers notice a problem.
Do you provide picture and sound production for the livestream?
Yes. We combine the camera feeds, a separate audio feed and presentations so the stream is clear and stable.
Can streaming be arranged at the last minute?
Often yes. We need the agenda, information about the venue, the connection and your requirements, and a realistic amount of time to prepare.
Do you include presentations and videos in the livestream?
Yes. We agree the switchover moments and prepare the materials so there's no downtime or silence in the stream.
What does the cost of streaming depend on?
On the scale of the production – the number of cameras and the format – the number of presentations to feed in, the expected quality, working hours and the venue conditions.
Can you record the event alongside the livestream?
Yes. We record the event – we agree the scope and format with you.
