Unrivalled market innovation
Manage viewer experience in real time
Stay on top of your live event's performance. Control the Event works behind the scenes to detect video experience issues based on multiple KPIs, including the number of viewers, location, and buffering severity.
Mitigate issues before they multiply
Resolve video experience issues with real-time alerts and recommendations that you can execute on the spot. Ensure that any arising issues are mitigated by adjusting quality levels in real time.
Never miss a performance alert
Control the Event won’t let you miss critical updates, even when you can't actively monitor the broadcast. We’ll keep you updated with real-time alerts and configurable notifications.
Don’t let fear haunt your live stream
Live events can be a nightmare for IT Managers, with the fear of network failures and stream errors causing sleepless nights. And when issues do arise, the panic of not knowing how to resolve or mitigate them can be paralyzing.
Maintain full control of your webcasts in any situation
Between struggling to detect issues and attempting to remediate them in real time, live event management can feel like a minefield. Control the Event addresses the exact challenges IT teams face during live streams to help deliver flawless, stress-free webcasts – and maintain full control even in high-pressure situations.
1. Inability to detect and resolve unexpected issues during live events
Situation
During a live product launch webcast, viewers start suddenly experiencing dropouts. Reports of this start trickling in, but the IT team doesn’t have the tools for real-time troubleshooting, leaving them unable to fix the issue quickly. As a result, viewer engagement and participation drop significantly, undermining the success of the much-anticipated launch.
How Hive helps:
Instant notifications
If things start to go south, CTE will instantly raise an alert and notify event managers.
Resolution guidance
Provides clear, actionable instructions for resolving issues that require intervention.
Live recovery tools
CTE enables real-time quality level filtering to help quickly restore viewer access to the video content.
2. Hard to detect, track and assess impact of issues
Situation
During a global town hall, IT teams are unaware that employees in multiple regions are experiencing buffering. The problem goes undetected until post-event feedback reveals the scale of the disruption, undermining confidence in the event production team.
How Hive helps:
Real-time visibility
Buffering severity is continuously tracked and visualized on a map of all network sites to help pinpoint issues.
Impact assessment
Understand the number of affected viewers, their locations, and the severity of issues in real time.
Disruption alerts
Get immediate notifications of potential issues to address them immediately, during event runtime.
3. Slow and difficult root cause identification
Situation
Viewers at the corporate HQ start to experience buffering mid-event, but the IT team can’t quickly determine if the problem is due to network issues, CDN congestion, or an unrelated fault. The delay in diagnosis prolongs the problem, reducing engagement and frustrating management.
How Hive helps:
Pinpoint issue cause
Control the Event will pinpoint likely causes of each issue in real time, whether it’s network congestion or stream disruption.
Actionable diagnosis
IT teams are guided to potential solutions, which speeds up troubleshooting during high-pressure moments.
Simplified post-event analysis
Alerts raised during the event are available for in-depth investigation even after the live stream is over.
4. Lack of resources for real-time event monitoring
Situation
Your organization often runs multiple live events simultaneously, and your team doesn’t have the resources to oversee every stream. The fear of undetected issues looms large, and key stakeholders risk experiencing significant interruptions.
How Hive helps:
Peace of mind
Control the Event tracks all streams and alerts you instantly, so you can rest easy attending to other critical priorities in the meantime.
Multi-channel alerts
Stay informed through notifications via email, portal, or webhook, no matter where you are.
Custom prioritization
Set notification filters based on site importance or viewer volume to minimize disruptions where they matter most.
5. Risk of infrastructure overload
Situation
A global livestream faced unexpected network congestion when the desktop team in Ireland initiated a software update to the Microsoft Teams Client during the event. The surge in bandwidth usage overwhelmed access points in Irish offices, causing connection issues and disrupting the stream. The lack of visibility and preemptive planning during site configuration left IT teams scrambling to respond.
How Hive helps:
Localized load management
CTE lets IT teams quickly lower stream quality for just the Irish offices, without disrupting the broader network.
Stable infrastructure
The targeted adjustments made sure streams in other regions weren’t affected and system performance remained stable.
Tools for quick mitigation
With real-time insights and easy-to-use tools, IT can act fast to minimize the negative impact on viewer experience.
6. Financial and reputational risks
Situation
Repeated technical problems during high-stakes events like earnings calls or product launches damage stakeholder confidence and reduce engagement. This results in lost ROI, lower attendance in future events, and reputational harm that impacts both the IT team and entire organization long-term.
How Hive helps:
Instant remediation
Control the Event alerts even managers as soon as an issue arises, allowing for immediate corrective action and preventing failure.
Post-analysis
Provides detailed insights post-event to address root causes and prevent future recurrence.
Safeguarding event ROI
Ensures smoother events, preserving audience trust, reducing viewer churn, and maximizing return on live event investments.
