How Much Does Live Streaming Cost in Australia?

A professional stream uses two or more cameras — typically a wide shot of the stage, a close-up of the speaker and presentation feed. A dedicated operator switches between angles in real time, so your remote audience gets a broadcast-quality viewing experience rather than a static, single-angle feed.

For larger events, you might add a roaming camera for audience shots, behind-the-scenes content, or panel coverage.

Your stream should look like it belongs to your organisation, not like someone's laptop webcam. We can add your logo, speaker name lower thirds, session titles, sponsor logos, and transition graphics. These are built before the event and triggered live during the broadcast.

This is the single most important part of any live stream — and the one most people don't think about until something goes wrong.

Venue WiFi is not always reliable enough for professional live streaming. Conference WiFi is shared with attendees checking email, downloading presentations, and streaming their own content. It drops. It slows. It can fail at the worst possible moment.

Depending on the streaming platform and other factors we recommend using bonded internet on most live stream jobs. This means we combine multiple cellular connections (typically 3 SIM cards across different carriers) and, where available, the venue's wired or WiFi connection into a single, resilient link. If one connection drops, the others keep the stream running. The audience never notices.

We handle the technical setup on whichever platform you would like us to stream to — YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or a combination. This includes configuring stream keys, setting up the event/broadcast, managing privacy settings, enabling chat or Q&A if needed, and monitoring the stream health throughout.

If you're streaming to multiple platforms simultaneously (simulcasting), we manage all of them from a single production setup.

For outdoor events, large venues, or any space where the audience can't clearly see the stage, we can send a live camera feed directly to venue screens. This is sometimes called IMAG (image magnification) — it gives your audience a close-up view of the presenter or talent on big screens throughout the venue.

This doesn't require internet. The feed runs directly from our video switcher to the venue's screen system over SDI or HDMI.

For many events, this is combined with an online live stream — the same camera setup feeds both the venue screens and the online broadcast simultaneously.

Every stream we produce is also recorded locally at full quality. If anything goes wrong with the internet — even with bonded connectivity — you still have a complete recording of the event. This also gives you a clean file for post-production, repurposing, or archiving, without the compression artifacts that come from ripping a stream recording off YouTube.

We don't show up on the day and hope for the best. For any live stream, we like to do a technical site visit or remote planning session to assess the venue, test internet connectivity, plan camera positions, and confirm the audio setup. On the day, we arrive early for setup or sometimes the setup is done the day beforehand.
