Hybrid events and livestreams
At a hybrid event part of your audience is in the room and part is watching from behind a screen. We make sure both groups share the same experience and that your stream looks sharp and reliable.
Two kinds of audience, one experience
A hybrid event asks something special of you: you serve the people in the room and the viewers behind a screen at the same time. Neither group should feel like an afterthought. Anyone watching from home or the office wants to hear the speaker clearly, see the slides sharply and feel like they belong. We set up your event so both worlds come together seamlessly.
HuurAV.nl provides the complete technology for hybrid gatherings and livestreams in Amsterdam and the wider region. We combine sound, vision and streaming technology into one whole, so your programme runs live in the room and goes online with polish at the same time.
A stream that holds up
Nothing is more frustrating than a stream that stutters at the very moment the key message lands. We prepare the livestream carefully and keep a close watch on the connection and the picture throughout the event. That way the broadcast keeps running smoothly and looks polished, from the opening to the close.
We take the sound straight from the source, so your online viewers hear the speaker clearly rather than through the echo of the room. That is the difference between simply watching along and truly being part of it.
Vision that carries the viewer
For the remote viewer, the picture is how they take part. We capture the speaker, the presentation and, where needed, the room, and switch calmly between them. The result is a broadcast that is comfortable to follow and does not feel like a static recording from a single camera position.
Remote interaction
A hybrid event only truly comes alive when the audience at home joins in. We set up a way for online viewers to submit their question or comment, which then arrives in the room. The speaker or moderator can respond to it right away, so the remote viewer is part of the conversation rather than just a spectator.
A recording worth keeping
Those who could not be there live often want to rewatch the event later. If you would like that, we capture your gathering in a clean recording. You can share it internally, post it on your channels or keep it for anyone who signs up later.
From preparation to broadcast
We begin with a conversation about your programme and your audience, both in the room and online. From there follows a clear proposal. On the day itself we set up, test the stream and the sound well before the start and stay present throughout the event to keep watch over everything. You do not need any technical knowledge yourself; we keep the overview.
One whole instead of two separate events
The biggest pitfall of a hybrid event is that the online part feels like an afterthought, as if a camera has been placed in a corner to look at something really meant for the room. We take the opposite approach: the programme is there for both groups at once. That means we already account for what the viewer at home sees and hears during the setup, not only afterwards.
Thinking along about the run of show
A hybrid programme calls for a little more preparation than an ordinary gathering. When do you show a video, when do you hand over to online viewers, how long should the breaks be for the audience at home? We think along about that rhythm, so your programme stays enjoyable to follow for both groups.
Reliable thanks to experience
A livestream leaves little room for mistakes, because a glitch is immediately visible to everyone. Our experience from hundreds of events through SpeakerVerhuur helps us stay ahead of surprises. We prepare carefully, test everything and keep our finger on the pulse during the broadcast. Should something unexpected happen, we are on site to step in straight away.

Frequently asked questions
Will my online viewers see the same thing as the guests in the room?
That is exactly the goal. We bring the sound straight from the source into the stream and show both the speaker and the slides, so the remote viewer misses nothing of what happens in the room.
Can remote viewers ask questions?
Yes. We set up a way for online viewers to submit their question, which then arrives in the room so the speaker or moderator can respond to it.
Will I get a recording afterwards?
If you want one, we capture the event in a polished recording that you can rewatch afterwards or share internally.
What happens if the internet connection falters?
We prepare the stream carefully and keep an eye on the connection throughout the event. If something urgent or unexpected comes up, we are right there to step in.
Can this also take place at a venue outside Amsterdam?
Yes. We handle hybrid events in Amsterdam and the surrounding area, including Haarlem, Hoofddorp, Schiphol, Diemen and Almere.
