There are three key areas to focus on when
considering live streaming at your virtual event.
Live streams are only as successful as the plan you've put in place. We take care of this for you.
We never assume things will work on the day.
We prepare as if everything has changed.
All the preparation is about to pay off as we broadcast our hard word to the audience.
A brief 30 minute conversation helps us understand what your needs are for your virtual event or webinar.
We noted 21 areas of focus for live streaming but that is less than half of what we take on with every project. Our goal is to help you create a great virtual event with very little stress.
Event day should feel like a breeze as all our hard work comes together to create a smooth event where the live production falls into the background and the speakers are front and center.
After your event closes, we help you get the post-event tasks completed. We can provide attendee analytics, on-demand sessions, and social content for ongoing promotion. We are with you every step of the way.
Live streaming is exhilarating, and each event brings unique challenges driving us to help our customers. Here is what some of them have said:
Parasol Video has consistently delivered exceptional results time after time. I have worked with them on at least five major projects over the past several years, and the quality of the work continues to exceed expectations and their process and integrity are beyond reproach.
We’re addicted to working with you! Thank You!

Fantastic company with a focus on delivery quality, creative results at a price you can afford. If you're looking for a new video, look no further.
As a new business, it can be difficult to know how to get your message across. Parasol Video was instrumental in helping us refine our ideas and present them in a clear and concise video for our website. The resulting video is a quality piece of professional work. We are thrilled with the result!
I can't say enough about Parasol Video... They helped me create educational videos for my business and were very professional, insightful and attentive to detail. I love the intro video they created for my videos and the visual effects that were added in the videos. They completed the project on time and helped with questions I had following the delivery of the videos.
Parasol are friendly, professional, easy to work with, and produce high-quality video. I appreciate their ability to communicate well and turn around videos quickly. I highly recommend them for any video project.
I think the team is amazing. I cannot thank you enough for the hard work you did for us.
I cannot say enough positive things about Parasol. The team is awesome. They are great with following up, our videos look awesome and their turnaround was fast and efficient. We will definitely be using them again!
Working with Parasol Video was an awesome experience from start to finish. They really helped bring my vision to life and created a great animated logo and intro/outro segments for the videos on my website. They brought a lot of creative insights to the table that I hadn’t even thought about. The process was professional, and I was informed on project status every step of the way. I really look forward to working with them again on future projects!
The Parasol team is extremely talented. Their vision for developing a story through video and quality of work is superb. We couldn't be more pleased with our video.
You’ve really come through for me and I’m grateful!
Thank you! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate our partnership.
Sure! Live streaming isn't a mystic art or something that is out of reach for people willing to learn.
However, as we explained above, it takes a lot of steps to go it well and you cannot simply rely on things "just working" on the day. You need to be prepared for things going wrong.
Not to mention, you have other responsibilities on event day that you will have to hand over to someone else so you can remain focused during the live event. Doing it all, means something will get overlooked - that can be bad!
Working with us, means Parasol takes care of the live production leaving you to stay focused on your tasks such as attendee and team communication, and last minute schedule changes.
Going live always teaches you something new. Whether it's a new platform, a new feature, or a new process. Learn from our experience through our case studies.
Here are some of the things that our clients asked us before initially working with us.
Do I need to use Vimeo or YouTube to live stream?
It depends on what you are looking for from your live stream. If you want something reliable, then Vimeo and YouTube are up there as some of the best options.
However, the live streaming player is only part of the puzzle. You also need to understand if you are planning to embed your stream somewhere else, such as a dedicated event platform. In this case, you will want to see if they can embed the player on their platform or if they use their own live streaming player that you can use.
This is where test, test, test comes into play. You need to take some time to understand how the tools work together.
Should I live stream in 720p or 1080p?
When it comes to resolution we always opt for 1080p to provide the most clarity for attendees. In some cases, usually depending on internet speed, you may opt for 720p to increase accessibility for your audience.
Most viewers will have fast enough internet to support 1080p but know that 720p is always an option if you find people are having a bad experience.
It's also worth noting that some event platforms only support 720p live streaming, so make sure to check with your provider AND test, test, test.
Can I live stream to multiple places at once?
Yes you can. It's called multistreaming or multi-destination live streaming.
Just remember that when you send your live streams to multiple locations on the web, you are splitting your audience across platforms. So the conversations will be siloed between those individual audiences.
You will also need to monitor the streams in several locations at once which can be challenging.
While it seems like a great idea to have your content show up live in multiple places, make sure that there is a good reason for doing so.
Do I need an event platform to host my live stream player?
Not at all. Many virtual events that we run for clients take place on the players themselves with an integrated registration page to track attendee data.
It's actually a great way to keep costs down for your event.
If you want our help on deciding which platform or player is the best option for your virtual event or webinar, please contact us.
Event professionals all over the world trust our team for their virtual events and webinars because we always work tirelessly to delivery on their vision. No exceptions.
