Book a managed webcast with operator-assisted audio

We offer a variety of event types to accommodate your presentation and how you would like viewers to access the event. Each event type includes a 30-minute pre-conference and 90 minutes of presentation time. If you need additional training, you can request a 60-minute Dry Run before the event. An event production manager provides event delivery and feature training in the Live Studio.

You can also include a Lumen operator-assisted audio conference in conjunction with your webcast. Operator-assisted audio allows viewers to dial in to the event with their phones to listen and participate in live audio Q&A.

For detailed information about each option, click the info button on the Managed Webcast Request site or check the Managed Webcasting Feature Summary.
