5 Tips for Using a Live Streaming Studio

Using a live streaming studio can sound like a really daunting step up but in reality, it’ll save you countless hours of hassle while opening up wide possibilities. In this article, we’ll be going over some top tips to follow so you can make the most of using a live streaming studio and, in doing so, enhance your content.

1. Make A Plan

If you want to really take advantage of the facilities around you, then don’t be afraid to plan ahead and work out how you’re going to incorporate new elements into your streams. The more detailed the production, the more detailed the plan will need to be. Even if you’re going for something loose and improvisational, it’s still best to think about how you’re going to use the tools around you. Speaking of which…

2. Know Your Tools

While you’re planning, make sure to familiarise yourself with the new tools at your disposal. Using a live stream studio opens you up to all sorts of possibilities from lighting and sound to green screens and more. With full control over the space, it might take you time to discover which tools work best with your style, but it’s time well spent.

3. Learn As You Go

Not that you have to learn it all upfront. Don’t be afraid to embrace a longer learning process, picking things up on the go as you find ways to take advantage of the space around you.  You can start by just replicating your usual setup and working from there. In time using a live streaming studio will feel like second nature and you’ll wonder how you ever got by without one!

4. Listen To Your Audience

Whether you’re baking a cake, making a movie, or performing a song, audience feedback matters. Is your sound quality good? Are your shots well-framed? Could you be doing something better? Audiences are excellent for picking out these small elements and helping you achieve perfection in the long run.

5. Have A Good Time

All technical details aside, no matter what you’re streaming, don’t let stress get in the way of having a good time. If there’s one thing audiences always love it’s seeing that someone is genuinely passionate about what they’re doing. When you raise your production value it can be easy to lose track of what’s really important but at the core of it, streaming is always about keeping that connection between you and your audience.
