Live streaming and hybrid events
Multi-camera production for the audience in the room and the one at home
Fat Fish Media produces live streams and hybrid events for conferences, university commencements, galas, concerts and product launches. We bring the cameras, switching, audio, encoding and crew, run the show from a control position in the room or from one of our two broadcast trucks, and deliver a stream that looks like television rather than a webcam. Based in Salt Lake City, we stream from venues across Utah and travel nationwide.
Multi-camera capture and switching
4K studio cameras on tripods and jibs, PTZ cameras for discreet angles, a live switcher with graphics, lower thirds and your slides, and a director calling the cuts.
Broadcast trucks
A 53-foot expanding semi and a 24-foot trailer with production, audio and engineering positions, multi-camera switching, isolated recording and streaming, for arena, stadium and multi-day productions.
Hybrid meetings and remote presenters
Remote speakers join through the switcher with return audio and video, in-room and online audiences see the same program, and Q&A, polls and chat are moderated from the control position.
Streaming and encoding
Redundant encoders feeding YouTube, Vimeo, LinkedIn, Zoom, Teams, a private portal or your event platform, with bonded internet when the venue cannot guarantee bandwidth.
Audio for broadcast
A dedicated broadcast mix separate from the room PA, wireless microphones and lavaliers, audience and ambient microphones, and intercom between the director, camera operators and stage.
Recording and post-event video
Program and ISO recordings of every camera, same-day highlight clips, and edited session videos your team can publish, train with or offer on demand.
Who hires us to stream
Conferences, commencements, galas and concerts
University commencements
Commencement is the live stream with the largest and most forgiving audience: grandparents, deployed parents and friends who could not travel. We cover the ceremony with multi-camera IMAG on the arena screens and send the same feed online, with name-reader audio clean enough to hear every graduate. We have produced these ceremonies for Western Governors University in arenas and stadiums across the country.
Conferences, sales kickoffs and town halls
For a general session, the stream is a second room that happens to be everywhere. We switch the keynote, panels and slides for the screens and the stream at the same time, bring remote presenters into the program, and record every session so the content outlives the event. Multi-day programs usually run from one of our trucks so the ballroom stays clear.
Galas, concerts and virtual fundraisers
A hybrid gala has to raise money from two audiences at once. We stream the program, the paddle raise and the performances with a broadcast look, put the donation link and running total on screen, and keep the remote audience in the room with a host who speaks to the camera. For concerts and festivals we add long lenses, a jib and a director who knows the setlist.
Streaming only or the whole production
Some clients already have a production company and need a broadcast team to plug into the house feeds. Others want Fat Fish Media to produce the room and the stream together, which is where the trucks and a single crew make the most difference. Both come from the same shop, with one production manager as your point of contact.

Camera plot, graphics package, remote presenter plan and a run of show that covers both audiences, with a line-item quote within two business days.
Step 3
Rehearsal and show day
Camera and stream tests, a rehearsal with speakers and remote guests, then a director-led broadcast with a stream engineer watching every encoder.
Step 4
Recordings and analytics
Program and ISO files, highlight clips and viewer numbers delivered within the week, with edited sessions on request.

FAQ
Live streaming questions
What does event live streaming cost?
It scales with cameras, crew and hours. A single-camera stream of a keynote with a stream engineer is a modest line item. A multi-camera production with a director, graphics, remote presenters and a broadcast truck for a multi-day conference or an arena commencement is a different order of magnitude. The biggest drivers are camera count, crew days, truck or control-room setup, redundant internet and any post-event editing. We quote line by line so you can add or trim before you commit.
Which platforms can you stream to?
Any platform that accepts an RTMP or SRT feed: YouTube, Vimeo, LinkedIn Live, Facebook, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Hopin, Cvent and private event portals. We can stream to several at once, run a private password-protected page, and provide an embed for your own website.
What happens if the venue internet is unreliable?
We never rely on venue Wi-Fi. We order a dedicated wired circuit when the venue can provide one, bring bonded cellular as backup or primary, and run redundant encoders so a failure on one path does not take the stream down. For arena and stadium shows the trucks carry their own connectivity.
Can remote presenters join the live event?
Yes. Remote speakers join through a dedicated return feed with their own audio mix, appear on the in-room screens and in the stream, and can share slides. We rehearse with each remote presenter before the show.
Do you record the event as well as stream it?
Yes. We record the program feed and isolated cameras in full resolution, keep a backup recording at the encoder, and deliver files or edited session videos and highlight clips after the event.
How many cameras do we need?
A keynote or panel reads well with two or three cameras: a wide, a tight and a roaming or PTZ angle. Commencements, concerts and galas usually run four to six so the director can cover the stage, the audience and the moment. We recommend the smallest package that still looks like broadcast.
How far in advance should we book live streaming?
Four to eight weeks is comfortable for a single-day conference or gala stream. Commencements, multi-day programs and anything that needs a broadcast truck are safer at three to six months, mainly to secure the truck, the venue circuit and the crew.
Where do you provide live streaming services?
Our base and warehouse are in Salt Lake City, so events across Utah, including Park City, Provo and Ogden, are home turf. We stream regularly in Denver, Las Vegas and Boise, and the trucks and crew travel nationwide for commencements, conferences and tours.
