So… What Does a Livestream Production Team Do, Exactly?
Let’s be real: livestreaming isn’t just pressing “Go Live” on a phone.
A real production team turns your event into a broadcast-ready experience — just like a live TV show. That takes
planning, people, and professional tools.
Here’s what that looks like at StreamCity.ca:
1) Before the Event
• Venue Walkthroughs
We visit the space to plan for camera placements, lighting zones, sound access, power, and internet needs.
No surprises on event day.
• Livestream Platform Setup
Facebook, Instagram, Zoom, YouTube, Vimeo — we prep the stream with graphics, countdowns, and transitions.
• Asset Programming
Sponsor slides? Videos? Holding screens? We program all your media into the livestream schedule so it flows smoothly.
2) During the Event
• Multi-Camera Switching
We film from different angles (wide, close-up, roaming cam, and more) and switch between them in real time.
• Audio Integration
Clean, clear sound. We manage mics, audio feeds, music, and syncing — no awkward echoes or dropouts.
• Live Event Management
Tech hiccup? Speaker running late? We troubleshoot and adjust on the fly — your audience won’t even notice.
• Hybrid Setup
Streaming online and broadcasting to screens/projectors inside the venue? We sync both for a fully integrated experience.
3) After the Event
• Event Recording
Every stream comes with a high-quality recording — ready to use for internal comms, marketing, or content repurposing.
• Recap Videos
Want a 2–3 minute highlight reel? We edit the best moments into something powerful and shareable.
• Performance Review
We provide stream stats, platform insights, and suggestions for next time.
Why This Matters More Than You Think
Lots of venues say, “We have AV.”
That usually means: a mic, a projector, and someone who can turn them on.
But if you want to:
• Stream to multiple platforms
• Bring in virtual speakers
• Show sponsor content
• Avoid awkward tech failures
…you need more than a basic setup.
A dedicated livestream production team brings:
• Broadcast-level gear
• Experienced crew
• Clear planning and backup systems
• A polished experience for both in-person and online viewers
What You’re Actually Paying For
You’re not just renting cameras. You’re investing in:
• Confidence — knowing every detail is covered
• Quality — sharp video, clean audio, engaging angles
• Control — from pacing to playback, it’s all handled
• Continuity — for post-event content and brand value
Real-World Example: How It Worked at the RCY Youth Forum
At the Representative for Children and Youth (RCY) Youth Forum, the event brought together speakers, panelists, and community partners in person — and online. Here’s what our team provided:
• Multi-camera setup (4 angles including a mobile roaming cam for audience interaction)
• Live streaming to Vimeo and Zoom for both public access and private virtual attendees
• Live audio mixing from podiums and handheld mics, with backup mics ready to go
• Integrated slides and media playback, timed perfectly with each speaker and session
• Moderated Q&A from online viewers, managed through our backstage crew
• On-site tech team handling switching, audio cues, and all stage-to-stream transitions
The result? A fully hybrid event that kept both in-person and online participants engaged — and gave RCY a full recording for internal use and future outreach.
FAQs
Do I need this if my venue has AV?
Not unless their team is trained in multi-cam live broadcasting. Most aren't.
How long does setup take?
We typically arrive 4–6 hours before showtime, depending on complexity.
What platforms can you stream to?
We support Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Vimeo, Zoom, private RTMP — or all at once.
Do I get a recording afterward?
Always. Every event comes with a clean, downloadable recording.
Can I get a recap video too?
Yes — we offer custom highlight editing as an add-on.

Your event deserves more than a tripod and patchy Wi-Fi.
A professional livestream production team makes sure everything runs like a show — not a guessing game.
