Corporate Streams FAQs hub

Welcome to the Corporate Streams FAQ Hub! We understand you might have questions about live streaming your event. Below, you'll find answers to some general inquiries. For questions specific to your event type, please select the relevant category after general questions.

  • Professional live streaming involves broadcasting high-quality video and audio in real-time over the internet. It's used to connect with audiences globally, enhance engagement through interactive features like Q&A, and often provides significant cost savings compared to physical events. It typically utilizes professional-grade equipment and experienced crews for a polished result.  

  • We are headquartered in Orange County, California, but provide live streaming production services globally. Our portfolio includes successful projects for clients with national and international needs in over 25 cities.  

  • We specialize in high-stakes live event production with guaranteed reliability (99.5% uptime). Key differences include our broadcast-quality production standards (stemming from Hollywood backgrounds and Netflix-approved tech), innovative efficiency via custom-built streaming carts, seamless platform integration, and comprehensive support including rehearsals and post-event content repurposing (like our ECHO service).

  • We use professional, broadcast-grade equipment, including HD and 4K resolution cameras that are part of a Netflix-approved technology stack. Our setup also features unique, custom-built streaming carts designed for greater on-site efficiency.

  • Reliability is crucial. We back our service with a formal 99.5% Uptime Guarantee. This is achieved through redundant networks, mandatory pre-event rehearsals, expert on-site support with rapid (60-second) response times, and a free re-do commitment if our standards aren't met.  

  • We offer broad compatibility, streaming to major business platforms (Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex, Google Meet), public social media channels (YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook), custom-branded private or public web portals, company intranets, and even specialized destinations like cinemas.  

  • Yes. Ensuring a stable stream, even from locations with connectivity challenges, is fundamental to our service and 99.5% uptime guarantee. We employ strategies like redundant networks and other technical solutions (potentially including bonded cellular) identified during planning to overcome potential issues.  

  • A minimum of 7 days' notice is required to qualify for our service guarantee, which allows time for essential rehearsals and planning. However, more complex events (multi-day, highly custom) naturally require significantly longer lead times. Please contact us for a consultation to discuss your specific event timeline.

  • Yes, we offer complimentary 20-minute consultations and free live streaming audits. These initial discussions help us understand your needs, explore potential solutions together, and determine the best approach for your event.

  • Yes. We provide interactive features such as live Q&A, polls, and chat functionalities to engage remote viewers and allow them to actively participate in the event.

  • Yes. Providing a recording of the live stream (typically as a video-on-demand file) is a standard part of our service. This allows for viewing after the event and can be used for content repurposing. Individual camera and microphone recordings are also available.

  • Corporate Streams offers two distinct services: live streaming and traditional video recording. Live streaming leverages real-time connectivity to engage global audiences instantly, fostering interaction through features like live Q&A, polls, and chat, while reducing costs compared to in-person events, with Corporate Streams ensuring reliability and professionalism using high-quality equipment and experienced crews. Traditional video recording provides greater control, allowing multiple takes and meticulous editing for polished, non-interactive content, ideal for projects requiring a refined final product without the need for real-time engagement.

  • An accurate quote requires understanding your specific event details. During an initial consultation, we typically discuss event date, time, location(s), audience size, desired streaming platforms, technical needs (like camera count or interactivity), branding requirements, and any post-production services needed.

  • Typically we ask for a 50% deposit and 50% net 14 from the final date of show.

    Specific payment terms and deposit requirements are determined based on the final project scope. This information is detailed in the formal proposal and service agreement provided after the initial consultation.

  • Yes. Carrying comprehensive liability insurance is standard professional practice for our work involving high-stakes events, major clients, and various venues. Specific details regarding our coverage are provided during the contracting phase.

  • Copyright ownership is formally defined in the service agreement with each client. Typically, in work-for-hire situations like event production, the client retains copyright ownership or is granted extensive usage rights for the footage of their event.

  • Yes. We can seamlessly integrate pre-recorded video content (such as introductions, demonstrations, sponsor messages, or video tributes) into the live production for a more dynamic and polished presentation.

  • Beyond providing the full event recording, we offer post-production services like creating Event Highlight reels. Our ECHO service specifically repurposes key moments from your event into short, engaging video clips optimized for social media or internal sharing.

  • We prioritize security through various measures, including options for private, secure viewing portals, encrypted stream transmission for sensitive content, and leveraging the built-in security of enterprise platforms when integrated. Specific protocols are tailored based on event requirements.

  • Yes. We offer accessibility options, including live closed captioning and multi-language support, to help your content reach a broader, more diverse audience. Please discuss any specific accessibility needs during your consultation.

  • Our on-site crews consist of experienced professionals, including Emmy and Telly Award winners with backgrounds in high-level Hollywood productions. The specific roles depend on event complexity but commonly include a Director, Camera Operators, Audio Engineer, and a Technical Director/Stream Engineer to manage the broadcast.

  • Our unique streaming carts are integrated mobile production units, custom-designed in-house. Their primary advantage is efficiency: they can reduce on-site setup time by up to 75%, minimizing disruption at your venue and streamlining logistics.

  • Our team's background in high-level Hollywood productions and industry awards (Emmy, Telly) directly benefits your event by ensuring broadcast-quality visuals and sound, technical mastery for complex setups, creative storytelling approaches, and a high degree of professionalism and reliability.
