3 free tools to host your online events

With the explosion of social media, online brand visibility has become of paramount importance for companies and entrepreneurs. Hosting online events is a great way to reach more people and establish trust.

Looking to promote your brand with online events? All you need is a computer, a webcam and one of the free tools below…

Livestream

Probably the best broadcasting tool out there. People around the world use it to stream their events and grow their audiences on the Internet and mobile devices. Producers have access to their own studio and a lot of tools to create high-quality and recordable webcasts. During live broadcasts, participants can interact with the host and one another in the chat room.

With Livestream, you can also upload YouTube videos and make them — and your broadcasts — available on a 24/7 basis. Embed your player on your website or blog, or simply send people to your individual Livestream page.

To start using Livestream, click here.

Ustream

While very similar to Livestream, Ustream is a little easier to set up and use. The service blends live and archived footage seamlessly. The player can be embedded on websites and blogs and shared on social networks. And iPhone users can also watch broadcasts directly on their mobile device.

To start using Ustream, click here.

Vokle

Vokle lets you host your own events and take live video questions from participants — who can also interact in the chat room. A secondary host screens all the incoming video calls in the background. As a result, you will only have to worry about cleared callers.
