Best Practices and Recommendations

  • Live streaming is a great medium to engage huge audiences. However, for smaller target audiences (e.g. less than 100 participants), you may want to consider video conferencing via SFU Zoom or video recording for on-demand viewing. 
  • This service is available for internal events; which refer to events to be viewed primarily by SFU faculty, staff, and students.
