If you want your in-person event or performance to be made available on a social media platform or other online sites, we can bring our equipment and handle the virtual venue with a virtual audience on a screen or Livestream to a social media site. We can sell your tickets as well if you need the service. We do require a direct Cat 6 ethernet to the on-site modem, or at the very least, an excellent, high-speed WiFi connection. If possible, providing us with a direct connection to the audio mixer would improve the quality of the recording and virtual event. MetropolitanZoom can also provide lighting equipment and audio services, by including shotgun microphones towards the stage. Services include video recording. Fees start at $250.
