Live Streaming

What types of live events can I organize with Eventdrive?

You can organize plenary sessions for top-down communication between speakers, moderators, or the production team and participants. Participants can access all available interactive services but cannot speak or activate their camera and microphone.

Workshops are also available, allowing speakers to share video and audio while participants can engage by raising their hand and activating their camera and microphone, similar to a Teams experience.

The studio mode lets professional audiovisual production teams broadcast their content directly from their equipment. Additionally, you can stream pre-recorded videos, such as trailers or teasers, as part of your event.

All these modes and technologies can be used simultaneously during your Eventdrive event.
