Let’s talk about your event!

Considering the large number of livestreaming service providers, it can be difficult to decide which supplier can best meet your needs. We emphasize the following points in order to meet your requirements:

• Reliability

A reliable and stable streaming network is essential to avoid outages or interruptions during streaming. We rely on redundancy and bidirectional transmission paths at every event for maximum reliability.

• Quality

The quality of the stream, including video resolution, frame rate, and audio quality, should be high to ensure a pleasant viewing experience.

• Flexibility

Through various streaming options and formats and the joint analysis of your needs and requirements, we will find the right setup for your corporate online or hybrid event. Short-term requests, which can arise in the area of crisis communication, can also be realized professionally and with a high level of quality.

• Interactivity

By using the SlideSync webcast platform, we enable extensive interaction with your audience. Use the Q&A feature or attendee polls to engage your audience during your event.

• Integration with other platforms

No matter which webcast or collaboration tool you want to use, the Professional Services team from MediaEvent Services can support you as a webcast provider. Signal distribution to multiple receive channels is supported as well.

• Customer support

Our customer support provides fast, reliable, and effective help in case of problems or questions. In addition, your project manager will be available throughout the planning, execution, and follow-up of your event.

The cost of a professional livestream depends mainly on four factors: the number of attendees, the on-site production effort, the platform used, and the requirements for data protection and redundancy. German companies with more than 250 employees use online and hybrid events across the board: 84% held at least one such event in 2024 (Bitkom, 2024) — making livestreaming an established format, not a special case.

As a rough guide for the DACH region: a simple webinar stream on a self-service platform starts at around €500 per event. A professional town hall with on-site production, redundant transmission and multilingual support typically ranges between €4,000 and €15,000 per event. For recurring formats (e.g. quarterly IR calls or monthly employee town halls), annual contracts reduce the per-unit cost considerably.

Not every livestream needs an external provider. For internal Q&A sessions with your own Teams license, Microsoft 365 is often enough — but for an annual general meeting with 5,000 shareholders, the same tools are quickly overwhelmed. The decision typically hinges on reach, risk profile and internal resources:

What does a live streaming provider cost for a corporate event?

Simple webinars on a self-service platform start at around €500 per event. A professionally produced town hall with an on-site team, redundant transmission and multilingual support typically costs €4,000–15,000 per event. For recurring formats, annual contracts considerably reduce the per-event price.

How many attendees can a livestream reach at once?

Technically there is no hard upper limit — SlideSync and comparable webcast platforms support unlimited attendee numbers. Microsoft Teams Town Hall includes up to 3,000 attendees on the standard license; for larger events up to 20,000, paid Attendee Packs are required. With on-premise setups, the available internet bandwidth determines the ceiling, which is usually eased by an Enterprise Content Delivery Network (eCDN).

What internet bandwidth do we need internally and externally?

For an HD broadcast in the upload direction, plan for at least 10 Mbit/s upload with low latency, redundant across two providers. On the receiving side, each attendee needs around 2 Mbit/s for smooth HD playback. With a high number of attendees on the corporate network, a peer-to-peer eCDN is strongly recommended.

Is livestreaming compatible with the GDPR?

Yes, provided the platform processes the data within the EU, a data processing agreement (DPA) is in place and attendees are informed in a legally compliant way. SlideSync processes all attendee, question and poll data exclusively in the EU. US-based providers (Zoom, Vimeo, YouTube Live, LinkedIn Live) require a careful risk assessment by BfDI standards.

Do we need our own equipment or is a provider enough?

For internal town halls of up to about 500 attendees and without hard availability requirements, the existing Microsoft 365 license is often sufficient. For annual general meetings, IR calls or press conferences with external reach, we generally recommend an external provider: the combination of redundant technology, a trained on-site team and an independent platform considerably reduces the reputational risk in the event of failures.

How is a hybrid event (on-site + online) actually delivered?

A hybrid event connects an in-person audience with online attendees through the same platform — both groups see the same stream and can interact. The on-site production covers the camera team, audio technology and vision mixing; the remote connection runs over professional transmission technology such as SRT stream. Details under Hybrid Events.

Which streaming platform fits our company size?

Companies with fewer than 250 employees and low reach requirements usually manage with Microsoft Teams or Zoom. Mid-sized companies and corporations with shareholder, investor or press communication benefit from specialized platforms like SlideSync, which offer brand customization, single sign-on, phone Q&A and detailed analytics. A structured platform comparison can be found under Live streaming providers compared.

How long does preparing a professional livestream take?

For a simple webinar with a standard setup, a lead time of 1–2 weeks is enough. An annual general meeting or corporate town hall with multiple speakers, multiple languages and CI-compliant design typically requires 4–8 weeks of preparation — including platform branding, a test stream, a dress rehearsal and an escalation plan. For urgent crisis-communication streams, we also deliver lead times of under 48 hours.
