Livestream Production & Interactive Online Participation
Hybrid Events
Don’t just watch. Join the conversation.
A compelling presence on stage. Stunning visuals and crystal-clear sound on stream. Plus questions and ideas from the audience – in the room and online. We bring it all together into a shared experience, professionally produced and personally supported.
Hybrid events thrive when the stage, livestream, remote guests and event production come together as one shared experience. Our well-established production workflows create room for more: thoughtful camera perspectives, remote speakers and direct audience participation within the video. This ensures your budget is invested where your guests will truly notice the difference.
On-Site and Online
Does everyone really need to travel to be there?
You promote your event, spark interest and put together a compelling programme. But between “That sounds interesting” and a confirmed booking, there’s often a journey to make. When travel becomes a barrier, you risk losing the very people whose interest you’ve already won.
A hybrid event gives that interest another way in: your online viewers can join discussions, vote in polls or spontaneously join the conversation on video. A potential “no” becomes a personal exchange – with people you might otherwise never have reached.
The real value of online access depends on how your remote audience is included in the event. This is where we take hybrid events further: turning viewers into active participants.
The only thing we can’t stream is lunch.
Joining the discussion, asking follow-up questions, voting in polls – none of these require being in the room. We believe your location shouldn’t determine how much you can contribute. When it comes to the buffet, though, the in-person guests have a clear advantage.
A QUESTION FOR THE ROOM. RIGHT THERE IN THE VIDEO.
GET INVOLVED WITHOUT LEAVING THE STREAM.
The moderator asks which perspective the panel should explore next. A poll appears directly in the online audience’s video. The options are right in front of them: choose, vote and stay engaged. No additional link, no switching to another tool. Guests in the room can take part in the same poll.
A poll is just one possibility. Q&A, word clouds, ratings, quizzes and calls to action can also be integrated directly into the video. You and your moderator decide which features suit your programme and when to use them.
This is how an interaction within the video becomes part of the event itself. We advise you on the technical possibilities, prepare the agreed features and ensure that questions, responses and results reach the right place during the production.
What makes a hybrid event
The key elements of a hybrid event – and how we bring them together.
On-site. Online. Live.
The audience in the room and remote participants experience the same event.
Cameras. Sound. Production. Streaming.
Camera work, sound and streaming come together in one coordinated production.
Ask. Vote. Join in.
Questions, polls and voting for both the in-room and online audience.
Remote speakers on stage
External speakers join live and become part of your stage programme.
Your branding. Your event space.
The online experience reflects the look of your stage, brand and event.
Bring online guests into the conversation
Online participants can join the stage spontaneously by video.
Agenda. Speakers. Materials.
Schedules, information and materials – up to date and available in one place.
Secure participant access
Public streaming, registration or individual access – tailored to your event.
THE SCHEDULE CHANGES. WE ADAPT.
THE AGENDA, SPEAKER INFORMATION AND MATERIALS STAY UP TO DATE.
The keynote runs ten minutes over, the panel discussion starts later and a guest joins remotely. Online, the programme and supporting information need to reflect what is actually happening.
DL.LIVE connects each programme item with speaker profiles and related materials such as PowerPoint presentations or PDFs. We manage this digital layer alongside the live production. Anyone looking for the slides from the current session or more information about a speaker can find it within the same event environment.
YOU DECIDE WHO JOINS.
INVITATION, REGISTRATION, SSO OR TICKETS.
Whether access is by personal invitation, registration, SSO or ticket, DL.LIVE provides the right setup for your event. Participant lists can be imported and managed by your team or handled by us. Internal events remain private, while public and ticketed formats can be accommodated just as easily.
YOUR PROGRAMME SETS THE PACE.
WE TAKE CARE OF THE TECHNICAL DELIVERY.
We configure the equipment and DL.LIVE around your programme – from preparation and system testing to support throughout the live event.
Requirements & Equippment
Based on your programme and the venue, we determine the appropriate cameras, sound, transmission setup, remote connections and digital features.
Setup & Testing
We configure DL.LIVE with your content and test all technical connections and planned features before going live.
Live Production & Support
During the event, we manage both the live production and online participation—following your programme and the cues from your moderation team.
After the Final Applause | The event ends.
Your content remains accessible.
With Event-Series, recurring events, recordings and supporting materials stay organised in one place. Searchable transcripts help users find specific statements, while timestamps take them directly to the relevant moment in the video.
For general meetings and employee assemblies, we can also incorporate the required voting, documentation and long-term use of the content into the technical setup. Learn more about our full-service production for hybrid meetings.
IHR EVENT BEGINNT MIT EINER IDEE. NICHT MIT EINER TECHNIKLISTE.
From corporate events to industry conferences.
You know what you want your event to achieve. You don’t need to have decided how many cameras you’ll need, how remote guests will join the conversation or which audience interactions will suit your programme. That’s where we come in.
Tell us what you have in mind: the occasion, the venue, your audience and your budget range. We’ll show you what’s possible, which services you’ll need and which extras will add real value. From there, we’ll put together a tailored proposal – with a clear scope and a shared understanding of what you and your guests can expect.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A hybrid event combines an in-person event with live online participation. Guests in the venue and online follow the same programme. Unlike a one-way livestream, a hybrid event lets online guests actively take part – by asking questions, voting in polls or joining the conversation via a live video link.
DL.EVENT takes this concept further: polls appear directly within the video, and the results can be displayed on the screen at the venue. This makes participation possible without switching pages or opening another app. Professional live production and online participation are delivered as one integrated technical solution—adapted to your programme.
You have maximum creative freedom when it comes to the programme, content and moderation. You bring your schedule and ideas; we support you with our experience and show you how the desired participation features can be integrated effectively from a technical perspective.
Together, we determine when polls, questions or remote contributions should appear and what the moderator needs to manage them. We then set up all the agreed features and operate them throughout the production. The editorial decisions remain yours—with the technical support needed to bring them to life.
To get started, we need the date, venue, expected number of in-person and online participants, and a rough programme schedule. When setting up the event, we will also need the relevant content, such as programme items, speaker information, materials and polling questions. We will clarify all technical requirements with you.
Yes. We coordinate with your moderator, the venue and any technical partners involved. Together, we clarify transitions, assess the existing equipment and identify any additional technology required for your production.
No—you can, but you don’t have to. If you prefer, we can create editor accounts for you or your communications team, allowing you to manage the programme, schedule, information and materials independently.
Alternatively, we can take care of this for you. We remain responsible for the technical setup, the agreed live features and support during the production. We define who manages which content together with you in advance.
Our event livestreaming packages also apply to hybrid events. You can find the prices and included services on our livestream production page, where you can compare the packages and choose a suitable setup. If your event requires additional equipment or services, we will discuss these with you and include them in your individual quote.
Yes. DL.LIVE’s participant management lets you decide who can access your event. Participants can be invited individually or imported in bulk. For internal events, your company’s existing SSO (single sign-on) can also be integrated.
You can also offer free or paid tickets, with different ticket types if required. Once registered or after purchasing a ticket, each participant receives their personal event access.
You can manage participant lists, invitations and access yourself, or leave the setup to us. Together, we choose the access method that best suits your event and audience.
