Live streaming can feel like a massive technical hurdle for marketing, event and in-house production teams. In fact, most businesses lack the specialised equipment and skills needed to produce professional-grade live video content internally.
But that’s where we come in. We offer flexible live streaming solutions that cater to a variety of event sizes and formats. From simple streams to complex hybrid events, we take the stress out of real-time video production.
Additionally, as a video production company, our live streams look simply amazing. Our mission is to make even the smallest corporate events feel like prime time TV shows.
Our first professional live stream was in 2014 and we’ve produced hundreds more since.
Our live streaming equipment can broadcast to any popular video streaming platform.
We can supply complete A/V solutions including PA systems and mics – not just cameras!
No matter what type of event you’re running, we’ll find the right live streaming solution for you.
We regularly assist with live streaming conferences and business events. We can provide everything from simple camera and streaming packages to complete A/V solutions with projectors, screens and PA systems.
Whether we’re providing the full A/V setup or plugging into equipment that’s already on site, we aim to make streaming your event as hassle-free as possible. We can liaise with the venue to ensure it is suitable for streaming, and we can help you with setting up the stream on your platform of choice. We can even integrate services like Slido for audience participation.
Most importantly, all of our live streams are recorded, so once your event is over you’ll be able to share it straight away with those who couldn’t watch it live.
Many organisations have been turning to live streaming for their AGMs, company all-hands meetings, stakeholder updates and training delivery. We can assist with these sorts of events by turning your office into a mini television studio, complete with lights, cameras and microphones.
When we produce a webcast, we’ll work with you to stream to a private or public platform of your choice. This could be a private Zoom or Teams call, or it could be another web conferencing tool that your organisation uses.
For events with remote contributors, such as an event where a key executive is based in another country, we can integrate remote callers into the webcast. We can even produce the entire webcast virtually, converting a bog-standard conference call into a professional, branded production.
Virtual events are webinars and conferences where all of the presenters dial-in remotely, and the audiences watches exclusively online. These are popular with global organisations if all of the presenters are located in different countries.
When we produce a virtual event, we can take a standard conference call and turn it into a professional live stream. We add professional touches like a holding screen with music, presenter name straps, a professional “Picture in Picture” view for the presenter and their slides, and (most importantly) we can add more branding to the video feed than a typical video conferencing system offers.
Best of all, our virtual events are recorded. So at the end of the event you’ll have a polished recording that can be uploaded to your intranet or public video channels, ready for anyone who couldn’t tune in live.
Hybrid events are events which utilise a mixture of live streaming technologies to bridge multiple audiences together. For example, a conference where the audience in the room and the audience online can interact with each other.
In simple cases, a hybrid event could be an in-person conference where a presenter dials-in remotely to give their talk, and then answers questions from the in-person audience at the end. This requires a two-way audio-visual link between the online presenter and in-person audience.
As a more complex example, we once ran a hybrid event that linked two event venues in different cities together. This event had a tick-tock schedule, where presenters in each city handed over to the other venue at the end of their talk. Each presenter was also able to take questions verbally from the audiences in both venues. And there was also an online audience watching a combined stream of the whole event too.

Over the years we’ve been involved in some fascinating live productions.
We’ve supported broadcasts at major venues across the UK, including the O2 Arena and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. And we’ve streamed from some unusual but fascinating places, like the Boaty McBoatface Hangar at the National Oceanographic Centre in Southampton.
However, one of the most interesting projects we’ve worked on was a project that involved streaming real-time* images of Mars for secondary school children across the country.
Check out this case study to find out about the project and how we approach live streaming.
