Typical questions
Which platforms can be used?
We have experience with the following services. Of course, other services can also be used. It is also possible to use multiple platforms at the same time.
- Microsoft Teams
- Google Meet and YouTube
- Vimeo
- Zoom
- Chorus Call
All platforms are suitable for simple one-way streaming. The main differences lie in participant management and the format of the Q&A session. There are also differences in video quality.
Participant Management
Should viewers be required to register in advance to watch the stream? Or should only those who want to ask a question be required to sign up?
Q&A Session
Questions can be asked in various ways. One of the simplest is in written form—whether via email or through a dedicated window on the Stream website. A more complex option is for analysts to ask questions of management by phone or even via video conference.
How Much Does a Production Cost?
This cost estimate is based on an average project.
Assumptions:
- Green-screen studio with three cameras and two teleprompters at your location
- Switzerland
- Setup in the morning, production in the afternoon
- Post-processing the recording
- No platform fees—since you probably already have them
CHF 9,600, excluding VAT
Onboarding Costs
Since these are complex productions, we need to work together to develop and finalize many specifications before the first production run. This results in a project manual. For this reason, we charge a one-time flat fee of CHF 2,800, excluding VAT.

What is the quality of recordings?
Quality of recordings
We can record the streaming locally. Compared to recording in the cloud of the streaming service, the quality is many times higher. This means you can publish the event as a whole afterwards or edit individual elements. We are happy to support you with this. It is also possible to record all cameras and microphones individually. This allows even more extensive adjustments to be made in the edit.
Maximum quality of the director's shot: FullHD (1920×1080)
Maximum quality of the cameras: UHD/4K (3840×2160)
