Livestream Conference - 1000+ participants

Question

IHAC asking to run live steam meetings larger than 1000 people during COVID operations. The solution might be used in the future as well, but the primary use case is for this time period when most employees are remote. The solution would be very similar to what we have with Broadcast.

-        There will be one speaker or two/three (audio and slides, but not necessarily video)
-        The audience will listen and watch but must not interact, maybe via chat for questions
-        Live-stream/no pre-recording
-        Everybody connected at the same time
-        Devices should be computers and smartphones/Tablets

The largest chime meeting is 250. I know we have the live streaming architectures with Elemental, but I believe they would still need to bolt on some type of real-time chat solution. Is anyone familiar with a solution or pre-built pattenr that they oculd leverage for this use case?

Hi Shawn,

You can find a quickstart here to launch a quick solution based on Elemental services and cloudfront.

And all explainations are here : https://aws.amazon.com/medialive/getting-started/

For the live source, you can use OBS, which is a OpenSource application used by lots of Live broadcast.

Very easy to use, and to setup with a external Webcam or Camera. It's possible to have multiple scene, and share (screen share with video incrustation).

For the questions, you can use a dedicated Chime User who will receive the questions.
