Expand Meeting Reach with Live Streaming for Business

As businesses and brands shift gears amidst COVID-19, many are turning to live streaming for business meetings and everyday tasks that were once handled face-to-face in an office. While live streaming can help businesses expand meeting reach exponentially, a poorly planned or executed live streamed business meeting can lead to significant miscommunication or wasted time. From planning to execution, a successful live meeting hinges on following these tips and tricks.

Build Network & Increase Attendance

The first step to using live streaming for business meetings to expand reach is to build your network and increase attendance.

Fortunately, live streaming meetings allows for easy increase in attendance as long as professionals involved in your business know where to get the details pertaining to your live stream meeting.

Whether you share meeting details via email or some other way, make sure that as many people as possible are alerted to the live stream event that is coming up.

This way, when you launch your live stream meeting all who should have a vested interest in taking part in the meeting will have made themselves available to take part in the live stream.

• Make sure that attendees are aware of the live stream meeting in advance and have plenty of time to prepare.
•  
• Provide details that will help members access the stream including the meeting link, access code, phone number, and any other pertinent information to avoid last minute confusion or login difficulties.
•  
• If there is an access code or password, make sure attendees know to enter the code, where to enter it, and what it is — ahead of the meeting.

Additional Benefits to Live Streaming for Business Meetings

In addition to using live streamed meetings to keep employees connected despite COVID-19 social distancing, several other benefits come as a result of live streaming your business meeting. Benefits include:

• Ability to stream key parts of the meeting to viewers that were unable to attend in person.
•  
• A recorded meeting that can be hosted on your website, intranet, or other location for employees to refer back to later on if they have questions.
•  
• On-demand viewing allows employees to actively engage in a meeting that already took place.
•  
• Addition of graphics and lower thirds text helps to expand meeting efficacy and improve viewer/attendee understanding as well as their retention of shared data.

While live streaming for business meetings has many benefits and opportunities to employees and businesses that are faced with shifting their operations to a more at-home, away from the office approach, it is common to feel lost or uncomfortable.

Don’t be afraid to ask your live stream production crew questions. Remember, there is no need to strive for perfection when live streaming a meeting for your business. You just need to strive for access, inclusion, and an environment that your workers can actively participate in so that you can get the tasks at hand accomplished.
