How to set up streaming for a multilingual event and how does it work?

Do you have an international event and want to offer a fully multilingual streaming? Meetmaps has the multilingual functionality you need.

When you have a multilingual event 🌐, often the tendency is to broadcast the day's streaming in a single language. However, this approach can make users who don't fully understand that language feel excluded, affecting their participation.

The solution? Meetmaps' multi-language streams 🚀, which allow you to add a different streaming link for each language configured in the event. This way, the audiovisual team can broadcast different signals with audio in each language and add them to the platform, enabling attendees to follow the broadcast in their preferred language. Bravo! If speaking makes people understand each other! 💃

 

NOTE 📃: If you're interested in this option but don't have an audiovisual team, Meetmaps can offer you alternatives. Get in touch with us 📧 to learn more.
