Why Choose Local Online to Webcast Your Events?

Local Online specializes in a high-definition, low-latency streaming tailored specifically for community-centric events. Whether it’s a sold-out graduation, a religious service or a high-stakes town hall, we provide a front-row seat for everyone.

While YouTube and Facebook are convenient tools for reaching a broad audience, using a Canadian-owned professional webcasting service offers distinct advantages in security, quality, and community-specific support that social media giants cannot match.

The following reasons are why many Canadian municipalities, schools, and organizations prefer a local partner:

1. Data Privacy & Canadian Sovereignty
When you stream through social media, your data (and your viewers' data) is often stored on external servers, which allows foreign authorities to access information. Other streaming services may also sell your contact lists and customer information to other providers.

2. Ad-Free & Distraction-Free Viewing
Social media platforms are designed to keep users moving from one video to the next. No Competitive Ads: On YouTube, your viewers might see an ad for a competitor or irrelevant content right before your event starts. Zero Distractions: Local Online provides a "clean" player, keeping the community focused on your message without sidebars of "recommended" videos.

3. Professional Reliability & Support
If your YouTube or Facebook stream goes down, there is no one to call. Local Human Support: With a Canadian partner, you get a dedicated company who understands your local internet infrastructure and can troubleshoot in real-time. Copyright Protection: Social media algorithms often "mute" or shut down streams automatically if they detect background music (even if you have the rights).1 A professional service gives you full control over your audio without the risk of an AI-triggered shutdown.

4. Tailored for Canadian Communities
Big platforms use a "one-size-fits-all" approach, whereas Local Online is flexible and can adapt to provide a more custom solution.
