Berkeley AV (BAV) provides support for live-video streaming and supported live streamed events to appear on UC Berkeley’s Events YouTube channel.
BEST PRACTICES & RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Live streaming will have the most impact when you reach the most appropriate audience. We recommend clearly identifying your audience and advertising to that group ahead of the event.
- BAV will work with you to ensure that you have all the details needed to market your event in advance of the event date.
- Live streaming is a great medium for opening the broadest possible window of access to your event. However, for smaller target audiences, you may want to consider video recording your event for on-demand viewing.
REQUIREMENTS FOR LIVE STREAMING:
- The event location must have a minimum of a 100Base-T hard-wired ethernet port. In addition, at least 1 week prior to the event, BAV will perform a live streaming test in the room to confirm connectivity. Please provide a contact at the venue with whom we can coordinate.
- On the event day, BAV needs access to the room at least 1.5 hours before the event is scheduled to begin.
- All presenters must sign a media release and submit it to BAV no later than 1 week prior to the event.
- Metadata (title and description information) must be submitted to BAV no later than 1 week prior to the event.
- Please verify no copyright protected material (images, videos, music, etc.) will be used during the event.
