The Do’s and Don’ts of Boston Remote Webcasting

Remote webcasting in Boston is a growing trend that many businesses have taken up since the widespread closures and lockdowns that started in early 2020 and continued throughout much of the year as a result of Coronavirus. What was once widely used for internet conferences but largely overlooked for other niches and industries has become an extremely popular means of keeping businesses and brands connected to their audiences. Boston remote webcasting is ideal for interactions between a work team or business and their consumer audiences and represents a leading means of holding virtual events, conferences, and other performances.

If your business is considering a remote webcast or live stream broadcast, it’s important to get to know the do’s and don’ts of the process.

Hiring a Boston remote webcasting professional like Beverly Boy Productions takes much of the guesswork out of the process of deciding what’s right, and wrong, when it comes to webcasting. Give us a call at 617-314-9267 to learn more!

What is Remote Webcasting?

Still not fully sure what remote webcasting is? Essentially it’s a filming technique that is used to capture video of an event, conference, or performance that will be shared with a consumer audience either via livestream in real-time or later on.

Boston remote webcasting gained popularity during COVID-19 when in-person events were largely cancelled for health and safety purposes.

Today, many businesses continue to plan remote webcasts because consumers call for them and have strong interest due to their ability to represent in-person events without the hassle and headache of travel, lodging, crowds, and the like.

Boston Remote Webcasting Don’ts

Now that you’ve got an idea of what you should prepare for with your webcast, how about what you must not do?

Things like failure to check your internet connection and secure a backup source can literally kill your remote webcast before it even launches.

This is probably one of the most important considerations to make along with equipment — backup equipment is a must, especially if streaming live — otherwise, should something fail, your project fails!

You don’t need a whole lot of gear when webcasting but what you do have should be top quality to deliver professional audio and video to your audience.

Make sure that you:

• DO NOT forget to test your internet connection.
•  
• DO NOT forget to incorporate interactive opportunities into your webcast.
•  
• DO NOT try to host a remote webcast without help, especially if you’ve never done it before.
•  
• DO NOT expect your audience to wait for a live webcast — start on time, stop on time, respect your audience’s time.
•  
• DO NOT bore your audience.
