Each event on Arena is built around a set of Rooms: Lobby, Stage, Video Breakout, and Audio Breakout. Each room includes an interactive live video and chat stream, and can hold from 2 to 100,000 attendees. You can have an unlimited number of rooms in each event. Arena also gives you a registration platform out of the box, with useful features like custom ticket types and custom attendee information. You can also use your own platform and upload attendees in bulk. Arena integrates with the leading online broadcast studios, such as ReStream and StreamYard, or you can simply plug in Zoom, YouTube, Vimeo and many other video sources. You can also connect with custom RTMP or HLS if you want to go all out with your video production. Most importantly, Arena is designed by event organisers, for event organisers. It's the little things like advanced chat moderation, passwordless sign in, fully GDPR compliant data policy and many other features that make running a world-class event easy. > > Verdict: Rated **4.8/5** by 4 users.
