Top Reasons to Choose Live Event Video Streaming Services
Live event video streaming services are quickly becoming more popular than they ever were before.

If you’re thinking about live event video streaming services and what they might be able to do for your upcoming live event, you’re certainly not alone.
We’ve got several reasons that we think you should choose live event video streaming services over any other form of streaming for your event. If you’re on the fence as to whether or not a live streaming service is the right choice for you, or if you’ve ever considered a live video stream and had questions, these top reasons to choose live event video streaming services are targeted to you specifically!

Cost-Effective Stream Delivery
While you might think that a DIY option is going to cost less, consider the value that comes from working with professional live event video streaming services for your event. Not only does working with a professional ensure you have access to a CDN and other important equipment that is going to make your live event appear professional, but you’re also going to have the support you need to pull it off.
Since streaming an event requires certain features and specific skills among your team, it’s best to hire a professional at bare minimum to handle the technical details of hosting the event. While some live event video streaming services are more expensive than others, it’s important to note that it’s almost always more cost effective to hire a professional than it is to attempt a DIY version of your stream and take the risk.

Unique Integrations with Existing Equipment & Tools
Does your business already have certain equipment or tools that you would like to utilize as part of the live event video stream? Working with professional live event video streaming services will ensure that you can incorporate your existing equipment or tools into the stream. This means you can rest assured that your event will include things like video API access, and customizable video hosting that integrates the external apps or programs that you require for your event in order to deliver the most exciting and engaging experience to your audience.

Event Privacy and Security is Under Your Control
If you’re attempting a DIY live stream, or you consider live streaming with a platform that provides a free option to do so such as Facebook Live, you’re quickly going to realize that the event security is not under your control nor is the event privacy. Open source platforms or free streaming platforms like these often limit your privacy and security features, but when you hire professional live event video streaming services to work with you can take control of your event privacy and security once and for all.
This is your opportunity to ensure certain privacy features such as password protection, geographic restrictions, and domain specific restrictions are in place for your event to limit attendees that you do not wish to have access. This is also your chance to ensure hackers or others that should not be part of your live stream will not have access to make it into the stream.

You Control Your Stream Monetization
One of the main reasons that most businesses choose to host live event video streaming services is so that they can generate revenue from their streams, but this isn’t always possible if you’re not in full control. In fact, certain free streaming platforms and programs will limit video monetization resulting in lower overall value of your live event feeds.
Instead, we recommend you work with a professional to ensure your live event video streaming services include the monetization efforts that are most conducive to your event. This is your chance to make sure that you are monetizing your event through things like subscription access, pay-per-view access, and with things like paid advertising or similar sponsored adverts hosted during your event.
As you can see, there are a variety of different reasons to choose live event video streaming services for your business. This is your opportunity to get the most out of streaming your event without wasting any time or money. By hiring professionals, like Beverly Boy Productions, you can rest assured that you’re going to host the most successful, viable live stream event for your target audience.
