Professional Live Streaming Services For Webinars and Virtual Events

Q: Should I live stream in 720p or 1080p?

We typically recommend 1080p for the best clarity. If parts of your audience have limited bandwidth (or if your event platform only supports 720p), then 720p can be the safer choice. The right answer depends on your platform and your viewers’ internet.

Q: Can I live stream to multiple places at once?

Yes — it’s called multistreaming. Just be aware you’ll split your audience (and comments) across platforms, and it increases the monitoring workload. It’s worth doing when you have a clear reason and a plan to manage engagement.

Q: How far in advance should we book live streaming support?

Most live streams are best booked 1–3 weeks out so there’s time for planning, asset collection, and at least one tech rehearsal. Rush timelines are sometimes possible depending on scope.

Live streaming is one of the most powerful ways to engage your audience — but only when it works flawlessly.

At Parasol Video, we offer professional live streaming production for virtual events, webinars, and hybrid experiences.

Fantastic company with a focus on delivery quality, creative results at a price you can afford. If you're looking for a new video, look no further.

As a new business, it can be difficult to know how to get your message across. Parasol Video was instrumental in helping us refine our ideas and present them in a clear and concise video for our website. The resulting video is a quality piece of professional work. We are thrilled with the result!

I can't say enough about Parasol Video... They helped me create educational videos for my business and were very professional, insightful and attentive to detail. I love the intro video they created for my videos and the visual effects that were added in the videos. They completed the project on time and helped with questions I had following the delivery of the videos.

Parasol are friendly, professional, easy to work with, and produce high-quality video. I appreciate their ability to communicate well and turn around videos quickly. I highly recommend them for any video project.

I think the team is amazing. I cannot thank you enough for the hard work you did for us.

I cannot say enough positive things about Parasol. The team is awesome. They are great with following up, our videos look awesome and their turnaround was fast and efficient. We will definitely be using them again!

Working with Parasol Video was an awesome experience from start to finish. They really helped bring my vision to life and created a great animated logo and intro/outro segments for the videos on my website. They brought a lot of creative insights to the table that I hadn’t even thought about. The process was professional, and I was informed on project status every step of the way. I really look forward to working with them again on future projects!

The Parasol team is extremely talented. Their vision for developing a story through video and quality of work is superb. We couldn't be more pleased with our video.

You’ve really come through for me and I’m grateful!

Thank you! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate our partnership.

Live Streaming Frequently Asked Questions

You’ve got questions — we’ve got answers.

Do I need to use Vimeo or YouTube to live stream?

It depends on what you need. Vimeo and YouTube are both reliable options, but the player is only one piece of the puzzle. If you’re embedding the stream into an event platform or landing page, you’ll want to confirm compatibility, player controls, and whether the platform has its own built-in player. A quick test run usually answers this fast.

Should I live stream in 720p or 1080p?

We typically recommend 1080p for the best clarity. If parts of your audience have limited bandwidth (or if your event platform only supports 720p), then 720p can be the safer choice. The right answer depends on your platform and your viewers’ internet.

Can I live stream to multiple places at once?

Yes — it’s called multistreaming. Just be aware you’ll split your audience (and comments) across platforms, and it increases the monitoring workload. It’s worth doing when you have a clear reason and a plan to manage engagement.

Do I need an event platform to host my live stream player?

Not necessarily. Many live streams work great using a streaming player with an integrated registration page, which can keep costs down. If you need a full “event experience” (agenda, sessions, sponsor areas, networking), then an event platform is usually the better fit.

How much does live streaming production cost?

Pricing depends on run time, platform, number of speakers/feeds, complexity (graphics, pre-recorded segments, moderation), and whether this is a simple stream or a fully produced event. If you share your date and format, we’ll send a clear quote quickly.

How far in advance should we book live streaming support?

Most live streams are best booked 1–3 weeks out so there’s time for planning, asset collection, and at least one tech rehearsal. Rush timelines are sometimes possible depending on scope.
