What are the costs for a live stream via Stream1?
The costs for a live stream via Stream1 vary greatly and depend on various factors. Similar to building a house, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of price, as this depends largely on individual requirements. How to calculate the livestream costs depends on factors such as the technology required, the number of cameras, the personnel and the duration of the event, all of which have a significant influence on the final cost.
Price range for livestreams
As a rough guide, livestream broadcasts at Stream1 start from 1,500 euros. However, most of our productions range between 8,000 and 15,000 euros. For elaborate livestreams with extensive technology and a large team, the price can rise to between 30,000 and 50,000 euros, especially for events lasting several days.
Factors that influence costs
1. personnel expenses
- Number of cameramen (e.g. one cameraman per camera or an automated control system)
- Picture direction: How many people are needed to control the cameras and change pictures?
- Graphics operator for overlays, belly bands and scores
- Chat operator for interaction with the audience
- Director for the overall coordination of the event
- sound engineer – especially for translations into several languages
- Network– and Internet specialists for stable transmission
2. duration of the event
- A short event of one to two hours is cheaper than an all-day livestream
- Events lasting several days, e.g. from a trade fair stand, cause higher costs
3. technical equipment
- Number and type of cameras (e.g. stationary or mobile cameras, remote-controlled systems)
- Microphones and sound technology
- Image mixer for professional control of livestream images
- Additional technology such as lighting, teleprompters or special streaming servers
4. external costs (third-party costs)
- Event technology such as stage construction, lighting or loudspeakers
- Set construction or printed backgrounds for a professional studio setting
5. regular livestreams
- Customers who stream monthly or repeatedly (e.g. for staff meetings or press conferences) benefit from optimized processes and more efficient cost structures.
6 Market situation and demand
- Higher costs may be incurred on certain dates (e.g. trade fairs or peak event periods) as additional staff are required.
Professional quality vs. amateur streaming
In addition to professional providers, there are also livestream producers who offer their services at significantly lower prices. These are often individuals who stream on a part-time basis. A direct comparison is not possible here – just as it is not possible to compare an experienced company with a hobby craftsman when building a house. Stream 1 relies on a professional, fair way of working with a team of permanently employed experts who stand for high quality and reliable service.
