Livestream your company town hall – without a production company

A town hall for 2,000 employees across five sites – so far that meant hiring a production company or settling for a static webcam wide shot. With four iPhones and an iPad your team produces the broadcast itself, at broadcast level.

4× iPhoneiPad control roomSlides in the streamInternal + YouTube

The format lives on variety: the stage in a wide shot, the CEO’s face in a close-up, the Q&A from the audience, the slides full-screen. Four iPhone cameras cover that, and one person cuts live on the Director app on an iPad – anyone learns it in minutes.

Presentation slides go straight from the Mac into the stream: the LiveShow Screen app toggles the screen in and out with a keystroke. Alternatively, slides appear on the virtual monitor next to the stage. Corporate lower thirds and your logo as a corner bug complete the look.

How to set up the town hall

  1. 01

    Four camera positions

    Wide shot of the stage (main iPhone with the Creator app), close-up on the podium, one camera on the audience for Q&A, one roaming. All with tally lights – whoever speaks sees which camera is live.

  2. 02

    Build the STUDIO network

    A standard Wi-Fi router is enough: Creator and Director apps connect via LAN cable, the cameras join over Wi-Fi. Up to 9 cameras, with intercom from the control room to the operators.

  3. 03

    Bring in the slides

    The Mac running the presentation joins via the LiveShow Screen app as its own video source – slides full-screen or as an overlay, toggled by keystroke. Alternatively the virtual monitor shows slides within the stage picture.

  4. 04

    Set up the corporate design

    Lower thirds with speakers’ names and roles, the company logo as a permanent corner bug, a branded countdown before the start – all prepared in the rundown.

  5. 05

    Direct and stream

    One person cuts between cameras on the iPad, triggers lower thirds and starts the slides. You stream simultaneously to your internal streaming server (custom RTMP) and e.g. YouTube (unlisted).

What you need

  • 4–5 iPhones as cameras (from iPhone 11, main device from iPhone 12) + tripods
  • iPad with the Director app as the control desk
  • A standard Wi-Fi router (Creator + Director via LAN cable, cameras over Wi-Fi)
  • Optional: Mac with the LiveShow Screen app for slides, iPad/Mac with the Monitor app as a stage preview
  • LiveShow Creator in STUDIO mode (up to 9 cameras, control room, intercom, corner logo)

FAQ

How do the presentation slides get into the stream?
Most elegantly via the free LiveShow Screen app on the Mac: the presentation screen becomes its own video source that the director cuts live by keystroke or click. Alternatively the virtual monitor shows slides and videos within the stage picture.
Can we stream internally only?
Yes. Besides YouTube & co. the app streams to any custom RTMP target – including your internal streaming server. Several targets run simultaneously.
Does the person directing need experience?
No. The Director app shows all cameras as previews – tapping means cutting. Lower thirds and slides sit ready as prepared cues. Anyone learns it in a few minutes.
How do the director and camera operators talk?
Via the built-in intercom (STUDIO): the director speaks straight into the operators’ ears over Bluetooth headsets – like a real TV control room.
What does the production cost?
STUDIO mode with up to 9 cameras, iPad control room, intercom and corner logo is €49.99/month, cancel anytime – less than any single hour of a production company. All companion apps are free.
