If you have never sent an enquiry for hybrid live streaming production before, it is normal to feel unsure about what to include. Most clients don’t have every detail confirmed when they first reach out. You might still be deciding on a venue, estimating how many people will join virtually, or wondering whether you need one camera or a full multi-camera setup. You don’t need to know what an NDI encoder or a switcher does before you contact a production company. 

But what’s important is giving your production team enough information to understand what you’re planning, identify any potential technical issues, and recommend the right setup. 

This article explains what to include when you enquire for hybrid live streaming production, what producers need to know before they can put together a quote, and what you should ask your live streaming provider in return. Instead of a generic checklist, we have based this on the questions Vivid Media’s producers actually ask when clients enquire for hybrid live streaming production.
