Hi Florencia,
you may want to take a look at this:

The kits can be expensive but you can also use the free software in a phone (with some tripod adaptor) or iPad. We used LIVE:Air Solo to stream using Facebook and it worked very well. You can even set up pre-recorded introductory videos, credits, lower-third banners, etc. Just one piece of advice: make sure that someone monitors the stream with audio. I monitored the video only in my phone and did not realize the audio was muted!

I hope this is helpful.

Aloha,

Julio

Dear colleagues,

I would greatly appreciate your advice on live streaming workshops (preferably for free). Does anyone have experience live streaming on-campus events effectively? Suggestions in terms of equipment and logistics would be greatly appreciated!

We are not allowed to record this particular event; it has to be done in a way that it's only available live. I am concerned about how to make sure the online audience is able to see and hear the presenter as well as their slides.

Unfortunately, our university charges us $300/hour for their services to live stream, and we cannot afford that, so we're looking into a "DIY" approach that will still look professional!


Thanks in advance for your tips!


Florencia.
