Streaming via Peppered
Since the beginning of the corona crisis, streaming has become a popular solution for theaters. That is why we soon offered our streaming option, which provides Peppered users with all the techniques to easily organise (live)streams. This option is included in the Peppered package, so it does not entail any additional costs. We are happy to explain the benefits and how it works.

How does it work?
You’re all set for your first stream in just a few steps.
Choose a professional streaming service
First determine with which streaming service you want to offer your videos on the website, such as Vimeo or Youtube.
Create an exclusive page
Create a page and integrate the stream here. By using visitor tags you create selective access to that page. Online visitors to the website can log in via their own account and only gain access if they meet a certain criterion, for example if they have bought a ticket or if they are known as a “friend”.
Give attention to your video
You should be proud of your page, so give it some extra attention! For example, start with a personal welcome message, such as “Hi, you now have exclusive access to our live event”. You can also give attention to the event on other parts of the website. For example, adjust the “My theater”-menu by adding a link to the streaming page for accounts that have access to it. In addition, it is possible to show them a custom showcase on the homepage and to add a direct link to your stream in “My calendar”.

Frequently asked questions
Visitors must log in to the website via their own account. You can compare it with streaming services for films and series, such as Netflix. We don’t expect people will share their login. Also, nothing is 100% secure (via screen sharing, for example, everything is possible). Experience shows, however, that ticket buyers have a warm heart for the sector and therefore won’t abuse it.
As many people can watch the stream as the number of people who can simultaneously visit the webpage as set in the Peppered dashboard. You can increase this number if you expect a larger audience.
Yes, that's possible. With visitor tags you determine which conditions someone must meet to gain access to the stream. So you can choose whether it’s mandatory to buy a ticket for the online event.

That depends on the streaming service you use. Most of them offer the option to play a video via a Chromecast.
We recommend Vimeo or Youtube, because these let you easily integrate the videos via a video part on the webpage. Other options are, for example, Zoom or Facebook Live. Unlike a free service such as Youtube or Facebook, with a paid service such as Vimeo or Zoom, personalized branding is possible, you have no ads and there’s customer service available.
