On the topic of event live streaming

Webinar, webcast or hybrid event - what are the differences?

Not all livestreaming is the same - there are different formats, each with its own features and uses. Learn more about webinars, webcasts, hybrid events, and cloud directing. Each format offers unique interaction opportunities and allows you to reach your audience in different ways.

The different livestreaming formats

The webinar (livestream with participants)

This is an online event that usually serves to convey specific information and functions in a similar way to a classic workshop. This is also revealed by the name "webinar", which is made up of the words "web" and "seminar". Participants register in advance because they are interested in the topic in question. This could be, for example, the imparting of learning content or the presentation of a new product. In good webinars, there is also interaction with the participants by means of polls, voting or question rounds. The number of participants is generally limited so that there is the possibility of responding to individual queries.

In linguistic usage, the name "livestream" has also become established for public online events. Instead of the actually correct term "webcast". This form of event livestream is a classic stage situation in which information is transmitted in only one direction. Accordingly, there is hardly any interaction between the actors on stage and the participants - like on television. However, since the Internet is an interactive medium, participants in webcasts usually expect a commentary function, which is also moderated live. The number of participants is generally not limited for livestreams. Public livestreams are often mapped across platforms such as YouTube or Facebook. However, closed events on the company's own website are also possible.

Hybrid events are, as the name suggests, an intermediate form. On the one hand, the event takes place as a traditional face-to-face event and is streamed live online in full or in part. In general, an attempt is made to give the online participants the same opportunities for interaction that the audience has on site. This is done, for example, by voting, asking questions or even virtual applause. With hybrid events, a wider reach can be achieved, beyond the capacity of the event location. But this also gives people who are far away or physically impaired an alternative way to participate in the event.

With cloud directing, the footage for the event is created in a different location than where it is edited and streamed to the Internet. For example, at an event, all participants could be in different locations. All image and sound signals, as well as interludes (e.g. PowerPoint), come together in the Eventnet studio in Berlin, where they are edited live and sent as a stream to the Internet. One risk with completely decentralized streaming projects is the varying quality of the video and sound signals if all participants use their own equipment. To ensure high quality of the signals, they optionally receive a webcast set. This includes a webcam, light, hands-free microphone and, if required, a preconfigured laptop.

Not only online: We bring your video content to all rooms

In today's digital world, the way we deliver events and conferences is changing. In addition to livestreaming, we increasingly rely on local support for video content during the event itself.

Personalized video content for your event

The trend is increasingly toward personalized video content at events. This involves presenting a wide variety of content such as presentations, inset films or live contributions from external participants on screens or large screens. Eventnet helps you create customized content for different display devices, making your event even more interactive and memorable.

Efficient video content management

we supply the equipment for your event to meet even the most demanding video requirements. Our resources allow us to send out four different video signals, which we can distribute to all display devices simultaneously or individually to each destination differently. This means we can easily send images from an event in the main room to other rooms, while simultaneously providing video content to the screens in the main room.

Your media content everywhere

Whereas previously significant resources had to be devoted to providing these services, we can offer the same result with considerably less effort. And if you're planning a larger event, we also have the capacity to handle large conferences taking place in many different rooms. With our experience and resources, we can ensure that your media content is seen wherever you need it.

Answers to common questions

What exactly is livestreaming?

Livestreaming broadcasts events in real time on the Internet. It allows viewers to watch content live as it is produced, rather than downloading or saving it. Attendees register in advance and can participate by asking questions or taking part in polls.

Livestreaming can be used for a variety of content. Here are a few examples:

Real-time communication:
Unlike pure videos, viewers can interact live with the content, ask questions and make comments.

Global reach:
Livestreams can be accessed worldwide and thus reach a wide audience.

Authenticity:
Because the content is produced in real time, live streaming conveys a sense of immediacy and authenticity.

Cost efficiency:
Compared to the production and distribution of traditional media content, live streams can be more cost-effective.

Reusability:
Livestreams can be archived after the live broadcast and used for future purposes.

Sound quality has a direct impact on the viewer experience. A stream with poor sound quality, such as muffled sound, noise, or fluctuations, often leads to the loss of viewers because it is exhausting to follow the speaker. Therefore, good sound quality is crucial to retain the audience.

Existing streaming platforms such as YouTube or Facebook offer the following benefits for public video streaming:

However, its use is also associated with risks:

Yes, it is possible to share presentations or screen content during the livestream. This can be done using screen sharing or presentation software that allows the livestream host to share the screen or specific content with viewers. These so-called interludes are particularly useful for webinars, training or presentations where visual support is required.

 

Yes, it is possible to record a livestream and publish it later. This has several advantages:
