Webex Events Production Studio benefits

Simple and reliable

We built Webex Events Production Studio to ensure that anyone can create professional-quality live streams. You'll be amazed at how fun and simple it is to put on a high-production-value event!

No software downloads

Webex Events Production Studio is a complete live streaming solution built in the cloud. You don’t need anything other than a computer with a mic, a camera, headphones, and decent internet to get started. To grant speakers access to the Studio, you simply share a link with them, and they can join your Studio on a computer or mobile device — no login required. 🙌

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

Brand everything from within the Studio

With Webex Events Production Studio, fully customize your live stream with your own branding, including colors, logos, and backgrounds. Upload videos, GIFs, and images to show in your stream and showcase sponsors, provide extra information, and promote your brand!

Connect with your audience

Engage with your audience in real time by displaying viewer chats, Q&A questions, and polls in your live stream. Not only is this an exciting way to connect with your audience and highlight their participation, it's also a great way to encourage people to chat and ask more questions. Webex Events Production Studio even lets you "star" chats and questions, which keeps them in a separate list and helps you show them in your stream when the time is right.

You can also use a Custom Tab to embed content in your live stream, like a session survey or Slido!

Connect with more people by adding Closed Caption support, including our very own Webex Events Closed Captions & Translations, which is included at no additional cost!

Inform without interrupting

Webex Events Production Studio comes with so many tools that facilitate attendee action and engagement. Adding a call-to-action or other important message with banners and tickers is a simple and effective way to add context and information without interrupting speakers. Create banners and tickers before the stream starts or as needed based on what's happening in the chat or the live stream.

Share pre-recorded content

If you have a pre-event teaser video, a custom countdown, or a sponsor reel to play before your live stream, we have you covered! Want to play a longer video for your audience? You can do that, too.

Want your entire stream to be pre-recorded and played at a scheduled time as if it were live? Webex Events Simulive may be for you!

Is Webex Events Production Studio a good fit for my event?

Webex Events Production Studio may not be a good fit for every event. Here are a few considerations when deciding if it's right for you.

💡 Keep in mind, Webex Events Production Studio, Webex Events Simulive, and the Webex Events RTMP player are included with your plan's streaming hours, so you can mix and match depending on your needs for each session!

Not a video hosting tool

Webex Events Production Studio doesn't host your stream recordings directly for people to come back and watch. However, recordings from the Studio automatically upload to the Video Center. It's easy to add recordings to Sessions, Live Stream features, speaker profiles, and more so attendees can access those recordings in the Event App. Read our article about adding recordings to your Event App for more information.

Check with your AV team

If you're working with an AV company, tell them about Webex Events Production Studio and the RTMP Player so they can provide input on which solution is best for them and your event. Some events may need advanced broadcasting software for multi-streaming, for example. For more on the RTMP Player, read our Introduction to the Webex Events RTMP Player article.
