How does audio live streaming to overflow rooms work?

Simply connect your speaker’s microphone or audio input to spf.io. Your speaker or interpreter’s speech will be streamed in real-time to people’s mobile devices using our Audio Live Streaming or Cloud Text-to-Speech feature. Anyone in the overflow room can access the audience view by scanning a QR code or visiting the URL. They can plug in their headphones and listen to the audio in their preferred language on their mobile devices.

This approach is more hygienic and can reduce your costs effectively as you won’t need to provide and manage multiple headphones at your events. It also allows you to scale as your audience grows seamlessly.

Can you help with the hardware setup for my in-person conference?

Yes, we can find a partner to help with your hardware installation. Contact us to request this service.
