If you have contracted live production, you can provide us with pre-recorded videos that we can play during your live stream, like:

• Video clips we play during transitions.
• Pre-recorded presentations.

Requirements for video files

Video clips (countdowns, transitions, sponsor ads..)

We need your videos to be formatted as follow:

• Format: .mp4
• Resolution: 720p (1280x720 px) or 1080p (1920×1080 px)
• Duration: maximum 5 minutes per clip.
• File size: maximum 100MB (see our compression recommendations here).

Pre-recorded presentation

We need your videos to be formatted as follow:

• Format: .mp4
• Resolution: 720p (1280x720 px) or 1080p (1920×1080 px)
• Duration: no limit. However we require 1 video per presentation, instead of a long video file containing all presentations.
• File size: maximum 1GB (see our compression recommendations here).

Tools you can use to pre-record

To record your videos, we recommend you use either of the following tools:

• Zoom.
• Webex.
• MS Teams.
• StreamYard.
• OBS.

Editing can then be done using your favourite video editing software (Camtasia or iMovie, for example).

Note: These are tools that can be used to record the video to be streamed.
Some of these tools are not recommended for streaming pre-recorded videos.
For example, while StreamYard can be used for recording, it should not be used
for streaming pre-recorded videos through SpotMe platform for performance
reasons. More information on the tools used for streaming pre-recorded videos is available in the Choosing your live streaming option article.
