Ticketopolis launches live streaming and on-demand video, powered by dailymotion

Ticketopolis now supports live streaming and video on demand for virtual and hybrid events, through a new integration with Dailymotion, and it comes at no additional cost to organizers.

One platform, from ticket sale to the broadcast itself

Until now, organizers running a virtual or hybrid event often had to stitch together a ticketing platform and a separate streaming service, then figure out how to keep the two in sync. With this integration, that gap closes: an organizer sets up their event on Ticketopolis, sells tickets the same way they always have, and the same platform hosts the live broadcast, in Full HD, with the signal restricted to whoever actually purchased a ticket. Once an event ends, that same stream can remain available as video on demand, so attendees who couldn't make the live session (or who simply want to watch it again) still get access.

How organizers get set up

Setting up a stream works the same way it does with any standard live streaming service: Ticketopolis provides a dedicated streaming server and a unique stream key for the event, ready to plug into whatever broadcasting software or hardware the organizer already uses. There's no new workflow to learn: just a server and key, same as organizers running virtual events are already used to configuring elsewhere.

No additional cost, here's how that works

Adding streaming to an event doesn't come with an extra line-item cost. Instead, it's subsidized by a short advertisement that plays when an attendee joins the broadcast, similar to how ad-supported video works elsewhere, but scoped narrowly to the moment someone joins rather than interrupting the event itself. Organizers on the Premium plan have the option to remove that ad entirely, for events where an uninterrupted, fully branded experience matters more.

Built for events, not just video

Because the stream lives inside the same event page attendees already bought their ticket through, it's built around what an event actually needs rather than being a generic video player bolted on. Access stays tied to the purchase: a ticket unlocks the stream for the person who bought it, without the signal getting passed around or reused across multiple devices, so the same protections organizers rely on for in-person check-in carry over to a virtual audience.

Who this is for

This is aimed squarely at organizers running virtual and hybrid events: conferences with a remote track, festivals streaming a stage to people who can't attend in person, webinars, and any event where part of the audience is joining from somewhere other than the venue. For hybrid events specifically, it means one ticket type and one platform can serve both the in-person and the remote audience, rather than running two separate systems side by side.

Available now

Live streaming and on-demand video are available today for any event on Ticketopolis, at no additional cost beyond the short join-time ad or with that ad removed entirely on Premium. Sign up free and add a live stream to your next event alongside your regular ticket sales.

Find it. Book it. Live it. Wherever there happens to be.

Automatic diplomas for conferences and expos: how to reward attendees without the paperwork

For a lot of attendees, a certificate of attendance isn't a nice-to-have. It's the reason they signed up. Continuing education credits, professional development hours, or just something to add to your LinkedIn profile: proof that you showed up and participated matters as much as the content of the event itself.

The problem is that issuing that proof by hand is slow. Someone on your team has to pull the attendee list from Excel, check who actually checked in, copy names into a Word or Power Point template for each person, and send it out one by one. If you're running a conference or a 2-day training session, that's days of work for something that should take minutes.

Why your attendees care about the paper trail

Whether it's a university seminar, a professional association's conference, or a 24-hour virtual symposium, your attendees increasingly expect a digital record of their participation, not just a memory of the event. For academic events, that record often needs to tie back to actual continuing education requirements, so it has to be accurate. It should reflect that someone registered, showed up, and stayed through the whole event, not just that they bought a ticket.

That's exactly the data a ticketing platform already has. Registration tells you who signed up, and how they paid, across all payment options. QR code check-in at the door tells you who actually attended. Put those two together and you have everything you need to issue a certificate that's actually true, without building a separate system to manage it.

How the automation actually works

The diploma automation inside Ticketopolis connects directly to your registration and check-in data. Once you set up a certificate for your event, the platform generates a diploma or certificate of attendance for each attendee who checked in, using at least 3 fields already collected during registration, name, event, and date, plus any others you define. There's no separate list to build after the fact, and no manual matching between who registered and who actually showed up.

Decades of organizing work, more than 15 years of it, shaped this feature: diploma automation grew directly out of the repetitive, post-event paperwork that university departments and professional associations deal with after every session. Using certificate automation for an event takes under 5 minutes inside your event setup.

A simple setup flow

Picture building this: the event runs on Saturday, check-in data finalizes that night, and that same night certificates have already gone out through email, so attendees don't have to request anything or wait.

If you're running academic events, workshops, or multi-session conferences, this also means less post-event scrambling. The administrative work of issuing recognition happens as a byproduct of running your event properly, not as a separate project that starts once the event is already over.

If your conference, workshop, or association event issues any kind of certificate or proof of attendance, it's worth setting up that process to run itself. Sign up free now and build it into your next event from the start.
