How to Increase Productivity in Your Office: Eliminate Time Zones with TikiLIVE

New communication technologies allow businesses to connect to each other in more ways than ever before. Whether yours is a multinational corporation with a global reach, or a sole proprietorship with the need to communicate with customers around the world, then you know the challenges of having to communicate with customers, clients or employees who may be located in different time zones. If you want to try one of the latest technological advances to become available to solve these challenges, it’s time you learned more about live streaming video.

It can be a logistical challenge to transmit important information from corporate headquarters to employees who may be spread around the world. The traditional method – bringing employees back to headquarters for an onsite meeting – has many drawbacks. It is expensive to book international airline flights and then pay for food, lodging, and entertainment expenses for the employees during the time they are present for the meeting. There is a long time delay in delivering important information through onsite meetings because it takes a great deal of time to announce the meeting and then arrange for everyone to travel to the meeting location. Because of these drawbacks, meetings will probably not be held very frequently. For example, many international corporations choose to hold annual meetings. But with the fast pace of change in worldwide business developments, annual meetings may not be frequent enough to keep up with events as they happen, during the weeks and months between those meetings.

TikiLIVE, a leader in live video streaming, provides an online solution to the problems that arise from the need to do business in multiple time zones.

With TikiLIVE’s software, you can easily set up your company’s own internet protocol television (IPTV) channel. This is similar to a standard broadcast television channel, but the content of the broadcast is transmitted over the internet, rather than a television network. The hardware requirements are simple: all you need is a computer and a camera for a basic live streaming broadcast. However, as your needs grow, or if you want to produce more complex broadcasts, TikiLIVE has many add-on modules to the basic free software package that you will use to get started. With these add-on modules, you can produce sophisticated broadcasts in High Definition.

How You Can Eliminate Time Zones with TikiLIVE

After you use TikiLIVE’s software to set up your channel, you can begin broadcasting to anyone, anywhere in the world. For example, rather than bringing your global sales staff or field support engineers back to corporate headquarters for an onsite meeting, you can notify them in advance when you intend to present a live streaming broadcast. Invite them to gather together to watch the broadcast live, no matter where they are. And, for those who are unable to attend during the live broadcast, you can prepare a recorded version of your presentation. Through TikiLIVE’s video on demand (VOD) feature, your remote viewers will be able to watch the recorded presentation at a later time.

During the live broadcast, those who are watching can use TikiLIVE’s features to interact with you and with each other. You can make this possible by configuring your channel with a live chat window. Open the window while the live broadcast is going on, and your viewers will be able to ask you questions; you can answer live, in real time; or you can choose to respond to each question after the broadcast. Viewers can also interact with each other, and make comments about information presented in the broadcast.

Social Media Is Built In, With TikiLIVE

Take advantage of TikiLIVE’s many integrated social media functions to help spread your corporate message and make it convenient for viewers to participate in the broadcast. For example, you can stream live video or recorded video straight to Facebook, in HD. Many of your viewers may prefer to watch from within Facebook. To do so, they can click on a channel’s thumbnail or the posted link to a VOD. The TikiLIVE player will immediately launch inside the Facebook page, and the user will be able to watch your content without having to leave Facebook.

Live Stream to More Than Just Desktops

Many of your viewers in distant time zones may be on the go. Field support staff, for example, may be traveling or on the road when your live presentation is scheduled to be broadcast. If they can’t get to a desktop computer to watch, TikiLIVE has a solution – our software will add HTML5 encoding to your video. HTML5 technology allows the video to be broadcast live to mobile devices, such as tablets and smart phones. Your viewers can see your presentation live no matter where they are.

For those who prefer to see your live broadcast on a standard television rather than a desktop computer or a smartphone, TikiLIVE can make that possible, too. Your live streaming video can be encoded to play on televisions equipped with a set top box, such as the devices made by Roku. The viewer seeing your broadcast can then watch from the comfort of their living room.

How Your Ministry Can Use Live Streaming to Generate More Funds

While tech companies were some of the first to adopt live streaming technology to bridge gaps and increase efficiencies, other non-profit organizations are quickly learning the huge benefits that live streaming technologies provide. Churches around the world are turning to live video and audio streaming to increase their reach as well as to grow their congregations and even generate more funds.

Traditional Churches Have to Adapt to Changing Technologies

For decades, Churches were some of the least technical organizations on the planet. Computers were rare, sound equipment was dated and video was nonexistent. As the majority of Church congregations have aged, Churches have been forced to adapt to the changing technology or essentially shut their doors for good. The Churches that have taken a more contemporary approach to worship and began to utilize the latest in technological advancements are seeing their congregations grow along with the dollars in their offering plates.

Benefits of Live Streaming Church Services

Live streaming technologies offer huge opportunities for Churches that are willing to use technology to more effectively reach their congregation as well as those that may not yet have a Church home. Some of the benefits that Churches are seeing from live streaming technology include:

Ability to reach disabled congregation members – In the past, Churches had trouble reaching disabled congregation members who found it difficult to leave their homes – even for service. Some Churches recorded sermons on tapes and took them around to congregation members who could not travel, but this was difficult and did not offer a great experience for disabled members. With live video streaming, congregation members can enjoy the message, music and total experience of Church from the comforts of their own home.
Reach those turned off by the Church – Unfortunately, some people have had a bad experience with the Church early in life and are intimidated by the physical aspect of Church. With live video streaming, you can allow interested parties to view your Church service without feeling any pressure. This can allow people who are a bit wary about returning to Church in general to have some time to determine if your congregation is a good fit for them.
Reach busy Church members – With baseball games, vacations, work commitments and standard family responsibilities, carving out an hour each week for Church can be difficult. By streaming your services online, busy Church members can easily catch the service online and not feel disconnected from the rest of the congregation.
Congregation Outreach – Not only are Churches around the country using video streaming for their services, they are also using this technology for other events such as Bible studies, Sunday school classes and other enrichment activities. Think about the benefit of Church members in the military being able to participate in a Bible study or to watch the Sunday service from Iraq or Afghanistan.
Inclement Weather – With many congregations having large numbers of elderly members, injuries during inclement weather are a real concern. By streaming live church services, your congregation members can rest easy knowing that if the weather is too severe they can simply watch the service online. With most elderly members having access to a broadband Internet connection, this offers another way for you to reach your congregation.
Economical – Streaming your Church services does not have to cost a lot of money. By partnering with a Content Delivery Network like TikiLIVE, you can easily record and stream your services for a reasonable price. Many churches are learning that streaming online is a much more economical alternative to buying TV airtime. Broadcasting Church services on TV is extremely expensive, and with more people turning to the Internet for their live streaming needs, it is becoming much more economical to stream content online as opposed to buying expensive air time.

Grow Your Congregation With Live Streaming

The benefits of live streaming for churches are truly astounding. By streaming your church services and activities, you instantly extend the reach of your church worldwide. Think about the ability to reach people across the world who are hungry to learn more about your church. No longer are you bound by the walls of the church, you are able to reach and potentially help people around the world. Using a provider like TikiLIVE allows you to not only grow your congregation, but also to track how well your online streaming campaign is working. Think about the power of being able to track where people are viewing your content and which services are the most popular. TikiLIVE offers robust analytics which allows you to track users by location and to determine exactly which of your services are gaining in popularity.

Combine Live Streaming with Online Giving to Boost Funds

By allowing congregation members to not only view services online, but also to donate money, you can quickly see how you can boost funds for your growing congregation. Some people are intimidated by going to church because of the thought that they have some responsibility to give large amounts of money. By offering online giving, you can remove the anxiousness that is experienced by some of your less well-to-do followers.

Partner with TikiLIVE for Your Live Streaming Needs

By aligning your church with one of the top streaming providers available, you can ensure that your content will be able to be consumed efficiently and effectively. TikiLIVE offers a host of advantages not seen by other content providers.

Robust Infrastructure – With TikiLIVE, you can turn your message into a global one. With our CDN, we can serve your viewers based on their physical location to reduce latency.
HTML5 Encoding – Your followers will also be able to view your content from any device including smartphones, tablets and all types of PCs. This is a great benefit to those members who are often away on business but still want to attend service.
Live or Recorded Content – TikiLIVE allows your congregation to view your content live or to watch it after it has been broadcast. This allows visitors to get to know your church without ever entering the doors of your building.

Live Streaming Video Software for Record Studios

Recording studios are more than just places where musicians gather to work on songs that will eventually be released. A recording studio is a state of mind. It’s a place where the mysteries of musical creation occur. Of course, it’s a bit hard to advertise for something like that with a small ad in the back pages of the weekly arts and entertainment newspaper. A studio is advertised in two effective ways: word of mouth by recording artists that are respected and admired and the other way is a visual peek of the studio assisting artists during the recording process.

Thanks to the rapid pace of technological development in the realm of computers and digital recording devices, it is now more easier than ever to record digital video on something as small as a smart phone. After that, in just a couple of minutes, you can upload the video onto the internet for all to see. Viewers can see your high definition video just about anywhere, even on the go while waiting to order coffee at a Starbucks. The biggest challenge is to find a content delivery provider that can help you stream live video to your audience in a stable and professional manner.

TIKILIVE can help you with that. We have a robust infrastructure that will be able to host and deliver your high definition video content without the drop-offs in quality or buffering issues that can immediately cause a viewer to move on to another website. We provide real technological advantages with our encoding and ability to stream your content to multiple platforms on a continuing basis. With TikiLIVE, you’ll be able to focus on creating innovative new content for your recording studio and leave the hosting to us.

Live Streaming Benefits with TikiLIVE

TikiLIVE can help you begin to present your recording studio in the most positive way. Many recording studios brand their business by having cool musicians play the studio while the performance is aired. For example, an independent studio in North Carolina wishes to boost its profile by having solo performers play at the studio in front of one video recorder. This live, in-your-face performance attracts viewers and spreads the word about the studio. With enough of these performances, the studio can begin to achieve name recognition, get more paying customers, and increase the loyalty of musicians who gained exposure through the broadcast.

TikiLIVE can make this a reality by helping you create a live broadcast channel with our robust suite of services. We’ll make sure your video is properly encoded and will be able to be streamed across platforms such as:

If you have a larger meeting with more than two people, you can also use the internet protocol television option for a large screen viewing. This live video meeting can allow you to engage with coworkers quickly to discuss outstanding business and to make adjustments to any job performances.

Additionally, TikiLIVE makes sure that your streaming video is secure. This is especially important due to the sensitivity of government communication and its subject matter. TikiLIVE technological experts make sure that your streaming video can’t be hacked or monitored. You can use TikiLIVE with confidence knowing that your live streaming video is always secure.

TikiLIVE’s Pay per View Tools

Another great feature that TikiLIVE has for our users is the ability to monetize their streaming video. Should a government agency hold a priced event that is open to the public or the business community, that event can generate additional money by being broadcasted online. When people don’t have to worry about the hassle of travel, even when they’re local to the event, the event has even greater appeal. With the advent of Internet Protocol Television, someone can attend a conference or a seminar simply by sitting on their couch on accessing your broadcast channel via a Roku device or even a mobile phone or tablet. TikiLIVE gives you the following tools to help generate revenue and offset budget cuts.

• Ticket Sellers – This option will allow you to designate proxies selected by you to help sell tickets to the event. This can just be an individual user or a group of users that you pick.

• Live Event Broadcast Pricing – Live events typically cost money for transmission and ticketing vendors. Our tool helps you determine the price breakdown, so you can estimate your event to reach your targeted financial goals. The tool will allow you to see where each dollar and cent goes in your ticket price.

• Live Event Broadcasting Management – This tool allows you to program the upcoming live event on your channel. By using this feature, you’ll be able to set the event on the channel playlist so your viewers are aware of what is coming up on your broadcast schedule. This can help get the word out for your event and further increase demand and ticket sales.

• Ticket Management – We provide our customers with a ticket listing page that will allow you to view who purchased tickets and what merchants were used for completing the transaction. Additionally this system allows you to refund tickets if necessary or provide free tickets to certain individuals.

• Customer Satisfaction Resolution – Despite the best laid plans, sometimes a viewer has a problem getting access to a pay per view event. TikiLIVE provides you with a tool to resolve customer disputes. You’ll be able to view such important information as the purchaser’s name, the technical difficulty, the merchant who processed the ticket sale and more. If you can’t resolve the technical issue during the event, you’ll be able to refund the purchaser their ticket price.

• Additional Vendors –TikiLIVE makes sure you work with reputable ticketing vendors. Our Merchant Setup page provides you with a selection of merchants that are integrated into our platform. Once you or a user select a merchant, the Available Merchant page will show pertinent information including the date the merchant was added, who added the merchant, and if there are any outstanding actions.

• Complimentary Access – TikiLIVE’s Grant User Ticket option allows you to provide free access for viewers. This can be a valuable tool to help increase access for federal contractors who are integral to your government agencies and build closer relationships with a variety of stakeholders.

How to Increase the Value of Your Presentation: Sharing Your Content With a Global Audience

You have spent time and money perfecting your presentation, and all of your hard work is starting to pay off: when you present directly to customers in a one-on-one setting, you can see their immediate interest. When you make your presentation to larger groups, the favorable feedback you receive tells you you’re on the right track. When you speak at conferences, the audience is riveted. You’re delivering the right content, in the right style. Everything is great!

Except for one problem: each time you make that wonderful presentation, you have to be there personally. You can only be in one place at one time. Do you find yourself limited by the constraints of geography and time? Do you ever find yourself thinking, “I’d like to be able to make this presentation to many more people, but I can’t be in two places at once!”

The Best Way To Be In MANY Places – At the SAME Time!

Live streaming technology is the solution to your problem. The latest advances in technology have lowered the barrier to entry, and it is now easy and economical to get started. If you have a computer, a video camera – even a webcam – and an internet connection, you can use TikiLIVE to help you make your presentation to people anywhere in the world.

Access to Emerging Markets Has Never Been Easier – Internet connections, mobile devices, and social networks are widespread in all global regions. Use TikiLIVE to help you share content with people anywhere, anytime.
Reduce the Need for Written Materials – You have a great presentation style with those in the room; but to communicate with those far away, you send out printed literature. Is something lost in translation? A written version of your presentation may not be as effective as the one you make in person. Use live streaming to preserve the feeling of one-on-one contact, and to allow viewers to hear your thoughts as you meant them to be heard. Reach distant customers as if you were right there with them.
Eliminate Language Barriers – Large cities everywhere in the world are becoming more diverse. We can no longer depend on everybody in one region speaking and reading the same language. For example, many people around the world whose first language is not English are able to understand English, but can’t read it well. With live streaming, they don’t have to read and your message can still get through.
No Need to Travel – Do you travel to make your presentation? Do your clients travel to your location to see you speak? With live streaming technology, you can present your content from your home base, and your clients can view it in theirs – and neither of you have to spend time or money on travel.

Expand with TikiLIVE API

TikiLIVE has multiple ways for users to deliver HD content. Live stream your own video through channels including audio broadcasting to radio, social media integration, full white label platform delivery, and much more. Among these is also a method through our TikiLIVE API software.

What is an API?

API stands for Application-Programming Interface which is essentially a set of code that specifies how different software components interact with each other. We have built our API as a software-to-software interface rather than as a user interface. This allows for developers to use all of the functions of TikiLIVE while developing their own apps. You can start your integration with our “RESTful” API today!

Many development companies are using this API approach to increase flexibility with their solution. Today, many other larger companies such as Google, Amazon, YouTube, and Twitter offer APIs as well. TikiLIVE has joined them with our latest version of TikiLIVE, LIVE streaming API.
