STEP 1
WHAT YOU WILL NEED?
1) A fairly new smartphone/tablet running the latest version of the operating system.
2) Access to the Apple iOS or Android app store to download the app.
3) A strong WIFI or 4G/5G signal at each location you wish to stream from. You can check the 4G coverage at each venue by using this website. It would be wise to physically visit and check as well.
4) A charger for your phone/tablet and a fully charged battery.
5) We suggest an inexpensive tripod and phone holder.
This will keep the shot nice and steady and at a decent height. Here is one we would suggest.
STEP 2
WHAT WE PROVIDE?
Once you're happy with the app we design your event page.
We can match your font, colour scheme and add email forms, PDFs and web links. See an example here.
There really isn't a lot we can't do on the page.
We host the page on our unbranded website.
We will email you a step-by-step guide to show you how to download the app and how to add your unique event code.
We also have simple-to-follow video guides. Once it's installed you will be able to go live on your event page.
STEP 3
BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER
When you're happy with everything you share the event web page with your viewers.
When you press the GO LIVE button you event is broadcast to your audience.
Our system makes a recording of your stream which you can download afterwards,
you can also record on the device as well if you have enough space.
You can start and stop the stream as often as you want. While you're not on air your viewers will just
see a blank screen. If you would prefer for a managed service where we add videos,
holding slides and music etc please speak to us.
Your page will stay live for at least 3 months after the event date (Longer by agreement).
WHY USE THIS METHOD?
1) You're in full control of your
event and what you share with the viewers.
2) You can stream from many locations including a walking parade or transition from one building to another without a break in transmission.
3) We're experts in live streaming and often work in TV broadcast. We have years of experience in this sector.
4) We ensure your broadcast is only shared with the people you want to view it.
5) Playing music through the free providers often results in the stream being stopped or muted due to copyright grounds. This is often done with little to no warning. We ensure this does not happen on our platform.
OUR UPGRADES
Make your broadcast look more professional by going via our remote team who will add holding slides, music, video and PowerPoint slides into the broadcast.
We can even add other streams from smartphones.
Editing - We can edit your content post event.

CAUTION
Streaming from remote locations without hiring a broadcast professional and bonded equipment can be difficult,
especially if tests are not conducted.
This service works very well in the right hands and in the right location, but it's obviously not the same as hiring an expert.
If you have concerns over your technical skillset or limitations of the venue you plan to stream at, then consider hiring us to broadcast your event.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is this reliable? What about poor 4G/5G/WIFI signal?
The quality of the 4G/5G and or the venues WIFI is the only real thing you need to check.
What about the sound? Will it be any good just using a phone or tablet?
Microphones on phones have got a lot better over the years. You can buy an external microphone to plug into the phone or tablet if you want to but the best way to test the sound is to record some video at the location and play it back.
Is the stream recorded?
Yes everything you stream is recorded at our end. This is then available for you to download after the event. Every time you stop and start stream it creates its own recording.
Is the app/software easy to use?
Yes very easy. Once you have added the code we need, which the app/software will remember then you just press GO LIVE and you're done.
Do I have to use a tripod or stand?
No but the shots will look a lot more professional if you keep the device steady.
What locations can I stream from?
Anywhere you have a good 4G/5G or WIFI signal.
What do the viewers see when I stop streaming?
This depends how you want to plan your event. If you're just starting once and then stopping for say a talk then that's all they would see.
What's your managed service?
What does it cost?
This depends on how much work is needed to create your event page. It can be as little as £150 plus VAT.
