Watch the live stream – participate online!

Library Channel’s livestreams are free for everyone to watch. Watching the streams do not require separate logins or pre-registration. Presentations from seminars etc. streamed live by Library Channel will be published after each event, every presentation as its own video. At that point, the recording of the whole event will be hidden and replaced by captioned videos of individual presentations that always follow the accessibility guidelines. The presentations are always captioned within two weeks of the event and are available until further notice.

Preparations for an upcoming livestream event with Library Channel

Making one day of livestreaming an event happen takes up about ten work days from the whole Library Channel team. The livestream event organizer should be in contact with Library Channel concerning the following things, ensuring effective execution and good quality:

– Space & Location: The Library Channel team is required to know in advance what kind of space the event is organized in to ensure that the internet connection(LAN), sound and lighting are good enough to make the livestream possible. The best way to do this is to arrange for the Library Channel team to visit the event’s space beforehand with the technician.
– Filming permit and Imprimatur from all performers: Every performer has to give permission to live-stream and publish the recording of said livestream. If the performer doesn’t give permission to livestream his or her performance, there’ll be a break instead. Or if some performer gives permission to live-stream but doesn’t want the recording to be available for viewing afterwards that’s fine too of course. However, these restrictions have to be known in advance so that the people who have planned to watch a certain part of the livestreamed event either live or as a recording. Library Channel doesn’t want to disappoint their viewers.
– Event’s programme: Library Channel requires the event’s final programme at least a week before the event. We always make graphics tailored for the livestreamed event in question, where the viewers can see the day’s schedule, information about the performers, the hashtag of the event (if used) and breaks in the programme.
– The MC or host of the event: Library Channel requires information about the host for the event at least a week before. It will be taken to account in the graphics of the event and camera placement. Also we will go through the event’s programme with the host and decide on who passes the mic around for questions from the audience. It’s crucial for the livestream viewers that questions and comments are spoken into the mic for them to hear properly. We’ll also agree on who checks Twitter, Facebook and chat etc. if someone watching remotely participates in the discussion via those services.
– Event’s hashtag: It’s advisable to create a Twitter hashtag for the event. That way both the people there and people watching remotely can share, comment and ask.
