How does a livestream become a video-on-demand?
There are various reasons why companies want to make their livestream permanently available: Employees who have been sick or on vacation should be able to watch a townhall livestream afterwards, or you are hosting a trade show or online event and want the content to be available to interested parties at a later date. We show you how to convert your livestream into a video (on demand).
Record livestream and convert to video
Livestreams can be recorded on request or as needed. The better the sound and video quality of the livestream, the better the quality of the recorded video. During the livestream, you can already edit it and insert polls or comments. There is also the possibility to edit and cut the video afterwards. Livestream recording can be started or stopped manually, as well as produced at intervals or automatically. To ensure the maximum quality for your content, you should convert the recorded livestreams to all common codecs, container formats, and multiplexed videos.
Create media library
To upload the videos afterwards, it is worth investing in your own media library, especially for internal corporate communications and digital trade fairs and events. This way, you retain full control over your content and determine for yourself in which context it appears. Of course, you could also host your content on YouTube, Vimeo or similar platforms. However, this comes with some disadvantages: Large video platforms could block accounts at any time and without warning, and in addition, videos cannot be put behind a paywall.
