How to Use vMix for Live Streaming & Video Production

Hybrid events are events that combine physical (offline) event elements with virtual (online) components. In this event, participants can attend directly at the location or participate online via digital platforms.

 

Hybrid Event

  1. Online & Offline– Bringing the audience to the event venue while providing virtual access.
  2. Two-Way Interaction – Virtual and live participants can interact through features such as Q&A, polls, or chat.
  3. Streaming Technology – Using digital platforms such as Zoom, YouTube Live, or special applications to broadcast events live.
  4. Recording & On-Demand– Event sessions are often recorded and can be accessed again by participants who cannot attend in person.

Example of a Hybrid Event

  • Webinar with on-site audience and online participants
  • Live-streamed business conference
  • Music concerts with live audiences and online streaming
  • Interactive workshops with participants in various locations

This model has become popular because it is more flexible, reaches a wider audience, and increases participation without geographic restrictions.
