The Varvid webcasting team supports professional webcasting and livestreaming to Facebook for both large and small events!

With crews in Seattle, Los Angeles, Dallas, Austin, New Orleans, and Boston, Varvid can help you stream a professional webcast on your Facebook page to engage your online audience in real time. Have a big budget project in mind? Check out our Large Custom Projects page.

Facebook will automatically notify your entire network when you go live, and it’s easy for people to share your live video on their wall so all of their friends can see it too. It’s the best platform on the internet for encouraging organic growth of your viewership. It also functions as a great video on demand option, as Facebook automatically records the live video and allows people to play it back within minutes after your stream ends.

FAQ

Q: What does Varvid need from us for a Facebook Live webcast?

A: You will need to add a member of the Varvid team as an admin to your page in order for us to stream directly into Facebook. You have the ability to add or remove admins whenever you want.

Q: Can you integrate pre-recorded videos into the stream or webcast?

A: Yes, we can integrate pre-recorded video content into your stream or webcast.

Q: Is the viewing experience mobile and tablet friendly?

A: Yes, all of our content is optimized for delivery on mobile and tablet devices.

Q: How long does it take you to deliver or upload final video files after the webcast or stream is finished?

A: Our team can deliver or upload a web friendly version of your webcast or stream in less than ten minutes.

Q: Do you have a process for testing the stream before the event?

A: Yes, we have multiple stages of testing that we follow before each stream or webcast. Two weeks before the event we require an onsite internet speed test, and one or two days before the event we test a stream with our entire setup, and we do a full test with the onsite AV test the day before (or morning of, depending on schedule) the event.

Q: What is your support model, what hours are you available?

A: In the days leading up to the event you will have the cell number of the project manager and will be able to contact them between 9am-9pm. The on-site Varvid team will be available for support 24/7 during the event.

Q: Do you have a backup plan or failover system for the stream?

A: Internet and streaming back up solutions are provided onsite. More complex redundancy solutions are included as options in all project proposals. Internet failover is automatic, and our CDN (content delivery network) software will deploy back up immediately if a problem arises.

Q: What kind of analytics can you provide?

A: We always provide metrics on unique visitors, total hits, average viewing session, and geographic data. Depending on the CDN (content delivery network) we can provide different kinds of metrics and analytics. If you have a specific need we can pair your project with the proper CDN to help you achieve your goals.
