How to Host Your Own Online Conference

Online conferences have become increasingly popular, and this guide provides a step-by-step process for creating a custom experience using Zoom and Mux. The setup includes multiple presenters broadcasting live from different locations, with the option to simulcast to social channels like YouTube Live, Facebook Live, and Periscope. A branded overlay can be added, and recordings of the broadcast are available for on-demand playback. Additionally, a live chat component can be incorporated using various methods or by creating a Slack community. The final setup allows attendees to view the conference on a website without needing to download Zoom, with options for reduced latency and watermarking.
