The video stream is vital to the success of your virtual and hybrid events

Today’s virtual and hybrid events can deliver an engaging, interactive attendee experience that is unmatched by those offered just a few years ago. Recent technological advancements, combined with improvements in ease of use and mobile accessibility, have created a more immersive experience that audiences across the globe love—no matter what device they are using to participate. But regardless of feature set or format, the success of almost every virtual event will come down to one simple thing: the video stream.

The biggest mistake enterprises and brands are making with virtual events today is not what they offer, but how they deliver it—or more specifically, the quality of the video their attendees are consuming. This non-technical session reviewed critical questions to ask your event streaming provider including:

Scalability

How many live concurrent users can your platform support?
What is the largest event ever run on your platform?
Can you provide client references?

Security

Does your platform offer Digital Rights Management (DRM)?
Can you restrict event access by geography, domain or IP address?
Does your platform offer role-based security?

As well as questions relating to:

Stream Reliability
Real-Time Monitoring
Device Independence
Day of Event Support
And more…

Who should watch?

Event owners and managers, as well as consulting firms and venues looking to improve in the virtual event space.
