Hosting a multi-site video with Broadnet is easy. Video hosts will need a device with a camera and microphone (for example: a smartphone, tablet, laptop, webcam) and a good internet connection.

If hosts would like to enhance their audio, they can use a Bluetooth or USB microphone. To ensure a strong internet connection throughout the event, hosts can connect an Ethernet cable to their modem/router.

One host or up to 8 hosts are able to join from multiple locations, holding a remote and virtual event for their audience to see them. Plus, hosts can pair it with Broadnet’s phone technology, calling up to a million additional participants to invite them to engage on the phone. Hosts can also get their phone audience to become part of their video stream audience by announcing the stream link during the event.

A Broadnet video event includes:

• A video producer that works with hosts in pre-production, live production, and post-production
• Custom graphics designed with your logo and branding
• A Technical Assessment to ensure proper connections and sound/video quality
• Three video clips to highlight your event along with the edited full video to share

In total, Broadnet’s software can handle anywhere from 1 to 8 video hosts, but we recommend starting with 4 hosts on screen.

A technical assessment takes place prior to your multi-site video event. Once your event is booked, a Broadnet video producer will reach out to you to find a time to virtually meet with the video hosts during a 30- to 60-minute call. The length of the meeting is dependent on how many hosts are going to be connected on video.

After setting a date and time for your meeting, Broadnet’s video producer will send you directions on how to join. During the meeting, the video producer will walk hosts through the step-by-step process to get their devices connected to our production platform in order to stream from each host’s camera device.

Although it is not necessary, we do recommend a technical assessment prior to a video event to ensure each host can connect to our production platform.

Information for hosts must be sent to Broadnet 3 business days prior to the event. Please include:

• The confirmed number of hosts who will be on video and number of hosts who will be joining by phone (if any)
• Names and titles of each of the hosts, both on video and on the phone
• If available, a headshot of each host
• Any other calls to action you want to display during the event

Yes, and yes! Prior to the event, speak with the Broadnet video producer to let them know if you will be adding in a video or presentation to your event. We will need the assets 24 hours prior to the event, plus instructions on when to showcase.

After you book your event, a Broadnet Customer Care team member will send you a link to a website integration form to fill out. Once we receive that from you, our Production team will work on getting a custom website code created for you. Your website team will create a landing page for the event (we suggest www.yoururl.com/live) and insert the code when it is sent over to you. You can include other items on this page, such as resources, links to other pages, and calls-to-action.

Yes, your video event can be streamed simultaneously to your website and Facebook page. An administrator on the Facebook page in which it will be streamed must be logged into Facebook and dialed into the Broadnet phone bridge 30 minutes prior to the event start time. Directions will be given to them from there!
