Live stream to video-on demand

How does a live stream become a video on demand?

There are various reasons why companies want to make their live stream permanently available: Employees who were ill or on vacation should be able to watch a townhall live stream even after the fact, or they are organising a trade fair or an online event and the content should also be available to interested parties at a later date. We'll show you how to turn your live stream into a video (on-demand).

Record a live stream and turn it into video

Live streams can be recorded on request or as needed. The better the sound and video quality of the live stream, the better the quality of the recorded video. During the live stream, you can edit it and display surveys or comments. It is also possible to edit and edit the video afterwards. The live stream recording can be started or stopped manually and produced at intervals or automatically. To ensure maximum quality for your content, you should convert the recorded live streams into all common codecs, container formats, and multiplex videos.

Create a media library

In order to upload the videos afterwards, it is particularly worthwhile to invest in your own media library for internal corporate communication and digital trade fairs and events. This gives you full control over your content and determines for yourself in which context it appears. Of course, you could also host your content on YouTube, Vimeo, or similar platforms. However, this has some disadvantages: Large video platforms could block accounts at any time and without warning and, in addition, videos cannot be placed behind a paywall.
