Lifesize Live Stream gives organizations cost-effective, flexible and secure HD streaming to connect with audiences across multiple locations
Lifesize®, a global innovator of video conferencing technology, today announced Lifesize® Live Stream. The latest addition to the cloud-based Lifesize application is a simple, flexible and secure solution to live stream company meetings, executive updates, training sessions and more with high-definition, broadcast quality. With Lifesize Live Stream, IT professionals now have even more ways to effectively enable their organizations to easily and powerfully connect and collaborate, all through one easy-to-use solution, furthering their investment and lowering their total cost of ownership.
Lifesize Live Stream delivers unparalleled flexibility, allowing IT administrators to enable an unlimited number of Lifesize virtual meeting rooms to simultaneously live stream events with up to 10,000 viewers and 50 video-enabled sites per event. A simple, single click allows moderators to start a presentation and users to join an event from any location, browser or device.
This new tool also raises the bar for live streaming with unmatched value by allowing organizations to pay based on usage. With the Lifesize Live Stream pricing model, users no longer have to worry about getting locked into a fixed package or trying to predict how many events will take place and how many viewers will attend. Instead, organizations can grow as they go, using and expanding their hours as needed.
Additionally, Lifesize Live Stream allows organizations to say goodbye to one-sided events. To promote active participation from audience members, Lifesize Live Stream offers a real-time Q&A feature that lets viewers ask questions directly from the live streaming page. Coupled with Lifesize® Record & Share (formerly Lifesize Amplify), the tool also allows one-click recording of any event, which can be shared with absent viewers later and housed in a personal video library.
“Ease of use is the biggest advantage for us with Lifesize Live Stream. In any school district, it takes a lot of time and energy to get a new tool up and running, but Lifesize Live Stream has been a pleasant surprise. Moving forward, we plan to use the tool to connect students and administrators across our campuses for board meetings, trainings and even graduations,” said Larry Muston, senior telecom technician at Aldine Independent School District, a school district that serves more than 70,000 students in Houston, Texas. “Lifesize makes it as easy as possible for the administrator. For example, streaming addresses stay with a meeting room until you disable it, which means I don’t need to re-issue links repeatedly to users who stream on a regular basis. It’s very simple.”
“For IT, connecting an organization from end-to-end is a challenge when users are geographically distributed and operating on different devices,” said Craig Malloy, CEO at Lifesize. “Designed to make event streaming as simple as possible, Lifesize Live Stream provides the flexibility, security and cost-effectiveness that allows organizations of any size to reach their audiences and engage with them in a meaningful way.”
