About Video and Engineering Services
Video and Engineering Services (VES) provides full service, broadcast quality audio and video production, and is your point of contact for event/lecture production coordination (live or virtual event capture and/or streaming).
Assistance with ONLINE-ONLY (totally virtual) meetings, webinars and live streaming of virtual events
The Division of Communications and Marketing (DCM) and Division of Information Technology (IT) assist faculty and staff with large online meetings and virtual events. While we recommend using regular Zoom for most virtual meetings, the Division of IT has Zoom webinar licenses available for checkout (supporting up to 500 attendees), provided on a "first come, first served" basis. We can also arrange Zoom to YouTube Live or Facebook Live streaming for large events, allowing your event/conference to reach vastly larger audiences.
NOTE: DCM does not provide conferencing services but will provide technical consultation to help you define your needs with an external vendor, if requested.
To get started with your online event, please complete this virtual event support request form. (For "in-person" events with streaming, please use the "event/lecture capture/streaming request form" below.)
