Event Streaming Cost Considerations

When an Agg-Town business owner asks, ‘How much does it cost to stream an event in Arlington?” giving us details about the event can narrow down the total streaming costs. For example:

• The length of the event plays a role. Longer events often require more crew members and have higher costs associated with them.
•  
• The size of the audience to view the event impacts the cost because larger audiences require the event to be streamed with higher bandwidth.
•  
• The size of the event is also taken into account. A simple event requires fewer crew members than a more involved event.
