Webcast, Zoom Meeting, or Zoom Webinar?
| Meeting (Zoom/Teams) | Zoom Webinar / Teams Webinar | Produced webcast | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audience size | Small to medium | Medium to large | Large |
| Who is seen/heard | Everyone | Panelists only | Produced program only |
| Production polish | Low | Medium | High (multi-cam, graphics) |
| Registration & gating | Limited | Yes | Yes |
| Best for | Working discussion | Structured panel + audience | Broadcast to many |
Many events use a combination: a produced program feed pushed into a webinar platform so the audience gets broadcast quality and the organizer keeps registration and Q&A tools.
What we handle
- Cameras, switching and a technical director for a produced look
- Presentation and video playback integrated into the program
- Professional audio with a dedicated broadcast mix
- Encoder, redundant connectivity and stream monitoring
- Platform configuration: registration, access, Q&A moderation queue, analytics
- Recording and same-day or edited on-demand publishing
Capabilities we plan and integrate
Viewer registration
Pre-event registration gate that collects attendee details before granting stream access.
Audience Q&A & moderated chat
Structured question intake from in-room and online audiences, screened by a moderator before reaching the stage or host.
PowerPoint / presentation integration
Presentation graphics taken as a clean feed (HDMI/SDI/NDI) and composited into the program with picture-in-picture or full-frame.
Viewer analytics
Concurrent viewers, watch time, geography, and device data from the streaming platform, compiled into a post-event report.
Backup / redundant streams
A second encoder and network path configured as an automatic or manual failover for the primary stream.
Recording, archive & video-on-demand
Same-day or edited recordings published to a private or public library for on-demand viewing after the event.
Private / password-protected streams
Access limited by password, unique link, SSO, or allow-listed domains depending on the platform in use.
Capabilities are scoped and confirmed per event. We do not claim certifications or assert a feature that has not been validated for your setup.
