AboutAs part of this free and shared infrastructure project, HowlRound publishes an announcement on its website, promotes the event on social media, and publishes and manages the video archive, provides on-call / remote technical consulting and support, provides analytics, and project manages the third-party addition of live captioning and post-production captions. (See the Google Doc for those extra expenses regarding captioning / accessibility.)
Promotion and Audience EngagementWe publish a HowlRound event announcement based on any event copy and images you can provide. Please find examples at howlround.tv of the style and structure of these announcement posts. 
We encourage you to promote your event to your communities and social channels! Please send us handles and hashtags for any relevant social media accounts so that we can tag you in announcements. We recommend sharing our published announcement widely.

Please see the livestream guide for more details and resources! We're happy to manage the process of setting up live or post-production captions if this is a feasible option for your event.
