Lights. Webcams. Action!

As a digital event platform powering virtual and hybrid events, we know how critical live streaming is to your event's success. Providing a simple, reliable, integrated streaming solution has been one of our highest priorities over the years. Until now, we've only provided Webex Events Streaming which integrates Restream's studio with the Webex Events platform.

Now, to provide you with an additional streaming experience that integrates more deeply with your Event App and Community, we're proud to announce the arrival of the Webex Events Production Studio beta! Keep reading or click the video below to learn more.

Designed and built by Webex Events

We've spent months researching, designing, building, and testing this brand new studio experience, and we'll spend years continuing to add more features and make the Studio your best streaming solution. Now, we want to give everyone the opportunity to use the Studio and share feedback. 💬

The features you're used to...

If you're used to the Restream studio's features, you'll feel right at home in the Webex Events Production Studio. Features like brand folders, custom banners, videos, images, and private Studio chat are all available in the right menu's tabs.

You can also show stream content in different layouts, queue layouts to automatically switch when screen share is added, and control who's in the stream and where they appear onscreen.

...and more

In addition to chat integration, the Studio features integration with the Q&A feature and Custom Tab content, so it's easier than ever for speakers and presenters to read and respond to questions and Slido polls!

Guest speakers can join the Studio from their mobile device using the speaker link. Speaking of guests, you can have up to 13 people in a Studio at once. Up to three of these people can be hosts who can control graphics, banners, and other stream content.

⭐️ Keep in mind, hosts must always join the Studio from a computer.

Next steps

Webex Events Streaming by Restream is still available, so keep using it if that's what you're comfortable with. If you want to try out the Production Studio, use it for one or two live streams in your event to get a feel for it! It's all covered with a single Webex Events Streaming credit. 👍
