Virtual & Hybrid Event Production

Your remote audience is a real audience. We produce for them, not around them.

Straight Street produces virtual and hybrid events across Ontario — broadcast-quality sound and video, a branded viewing page your audience actually enjoys, and the in-room production to match. One all-in quote, and a senior av producer who owns both rooms: the one in front of you and the one on the screen.

Backed by our Comfort Warranty — if something isn’t right, we do everything within our power to make it right.

A virtual or hybrid event asks you to run two events at once: the one in the room and the one on the screen.

The hard part isn’t the streaming software — it’s that the people watching from home judge the sound and picture more harshly than the people in the room, and there’s no second take when a feed drops. We plan and run both sides together: broadcast-quality audio and video, a reliable stream, and a remote audience treated as its own audience, not an afterthought.

Every quote is all-in — equipment, labour, and transportation — and a senior av producer owns your event from the first planning call through to the recording you send afterward.

What a virtual or hybrid event needs

Broadcast-quality sound and picture. The stream lives or dies on audio and image. We use HD cameras and professional encoding so the people at home hear every word and see every slide clearly — scalable from a single presenter to a full multi-camera production.
A reliable, secure stream. Live video to an unlimited audience, hosted on secure Canadian-based servers, with pre-event test links so everyone knows it works before the doors — virtual or real — open.
A viewing experience that’s yours. A branded viewing page in your colours and logo, viewer-adjustable quality (full HD down to audio-only), and downloadable slides, worksheets, and speaker bios right beside the video.
Real interaction, not just a broadcast. Moderated live Q&A, real-time polling with results on screen, exit polls, and a chat window for viewers who need help — so the remote audience takes part instead of just watching.
Registration and the numbers afterward. Custom registration pages with automated confirmations and reminders, live and post-event attendee tracking, and a report of who came — or bring your own list up to 48 hours ahead.
The hybrid room, handled. When there’s a live audience too, we run the in-room sound, lighting, screens, and presenter monitors and tie them to the stream, so the two rooms feel like one event.
A recording you can send afterward. A clean archive of the event for the people who missed it, your website, and your records — 30 days as standard, longer on request.
And when you need them: multi-language support, captioning, and live teleconference integration are all available.

Why a production partner

A dropped feed or an unusable recording isn’t something you can fix after the fact. You want a partner who has produced these under pressure and plans for what can fail before it does.

Track Record

Across a decade of annual IBAO conventions, our production included webcasting alongside audio, video, and lighting — from meetings of ten to galas of five hundred, in the room and on the stream.

Straight Answers

“We’re worried the stream will freeze or drop.”

So are we — which is why we plan for it. We stream through professional encoders on secure Canadian servers, test the connection ahead of time with viewer test links, and keep someone watching the stream the whole time. If a connection can wobble, we’ve planned the backup.

“Can our remote audience actually take part, or just watch?”

Take part. We run moderated Q&A, live polls with results on screen, and a chat window — so the people at home ask questions and vote alongside the room, not after it.

“It’s hybrid — can you handle the in-room side too?”

Yes, and that’s the point of one partner: we run the sound, lighting, and screens in the room and the stream to everyone else, tied together so both audiences get one event. You’re not coordinating an AV company and a streaming company.

“Do we get a recording afterward?”

Yes — a clean recording of the event for anyone who missed it, your website, and your records. We archive it for 30 days as standard, and longer on request.

For the event your room and your screen are both watching.
