 We're excited to announce that Elvis Presley's estate, Graceland, is using Idostream.com as a provider of live wedding webcasting for their weddings!

Landing Graceland as a customer is the result of the hard work we've put into making our live streaming solution easier to use, feature rich, and innovative.

Our event scheduler allows the broadcaster to easily schedule a live event, select the appropriate template and dynamically create the webcast page once the event is scheduled. After the live event is completed, the broadcaster has the ability to immediately switch over to the on-demand replay (if nothing is done, it will automatically switch over to replay 24 hours after the event). The broadcaster also has the ability to edit the playlist and put a title on each video in the playlist.

In addition, the broadcaster can now simply click on a "Broadcast Now" button directly from their event listing for a particular event and launch our software on their computer with all the necessary broadcast information pre-filled in (channel name, server location, default profile, etc). All the broadcaster needs to do is simply click on "Start Broadcast" button on the broadcast software to start broadcasting making it a truly one-click broadcast solution.

Lastly, I'm pleased to announce we now can support flash live streaming using Macs. I know a lot of you have been waiting for this feature and we're glad to announce it's now possible to do it. We're still working on making this solution as simple to use as our existing solution but if you're looking to use a Mac to broadcast a live event don't hesitate to contact us today!

If you haven't done a test broadcast with us yet, please send an email to support@idostream.com to schedule one. We'll give you one week to test drive our new event scheduler to see for yourself.
