Live Streaming Weddings over Zoom and Social Media

In this, their first episode of 2021, Sam and Steve reflect on the current lockdown in the UK, and the likely impact on weddings in 2021.  

This leads them on to discussing live streaming of weddings over Zoom or social media, something that would have been hardly heard of only a year ago.  Having now streamed 12 "micro weddings" in the 2nd half of 2020, Sam and Steve have developed several solutions to live broadcasting weddings. 

Sam asks Steve:

• Why would a couple want their wedding to be broadcasted live over Zoom, Facebook Live, or YouTube
• The Pro's and Con's of the various hosting platforms
• Internet requirements and solutions
• One way and two way streams - do the couple want to be able to talk to their guests on Zoom at the end of the ceremony?
• Single and multicamera stream options
• The importance of audio for inclusive live broadcasts

Steve also discusses his new project for 2021,  walking 1000 miles in the year, and his new podcasts about walking Steve's Walks and Talks.  Sam gets to talk about her gardening allotment. Again.
