Live streaming for events and hybrid meetings

Associations, churches, nonprofits, small conferences, schools, businesses with hybrid meetings and families streaming memorials or weddings.

A fixed fee per event or per hour, with add-ons for extra cameras, graphics, recording edits and a technician for longer events.

• Operating cameras and streaming software
• Understanding audio and internet basics
• Staying calm when things go wrong live
• Communicating with presenters and organizers

• General liability insurance, plus equipment cover for your gear
• Check with your city or county about a business license
• Venue internet is often unreliable, so ask about it ahead and bring a backup such as a cellular bonding or hotspot setup
• Music and copyright rules for streamed content, check the platform's terms and any licensing the event needs
• Get written agreement on who owns and can reuse recordings and what permissions attendees need

Startup costs are typically around $2,500 to $12,000, depending on the cameras, audio, switcher and backup internet setup you choose. Treat this as an estimate and price the kit that fits the events you want to cover.

Monthly revenue is typically around $800 to $4,500, depending on how many events you cover and your rates. These are estimates, so expect some variation in the number of bookings month to month.

Check general liability and equipment insurance, and your city or county business license rules. Also check music and copyright rules in the platform's terms, ask about venue internet ahead, and agree in writing who owns and can reuse recordings.
