About the Course

You'll work with real vision switchers and streaming setups, building toward running the complete technical operation for a live event or stream.

  • Switch live between multiple camera feeds
  • Stream to YouTube, Facebook and custom RTMP destinations
  • Mix and monitor audio live, on air
  • Add lower thirds, titles and on-screen graphics
  • Finish ready to run a live show's full technical setup
