Investor communication at virtual annual general meetings
Munich, February 27, 2024 - Virtual annual general meetings are now an integral part of modern investor communication. To enable companies to maintain a quorum in virtual form, Techcast offers the innovative and legally compliant live streaming solution Techcast Event Cloud.
Techcast is the professional, ISO 27001-certified service provider specializing in the technical execution of virtual general meetings. Techcast's GDPR-compliant real-time video communication software offers three critical components for successful virtual general meetings: Low-latency streaming, real-time video feeds and accessibility. All services can be seamlessly integrated into the AGM portals without additional application changes.
Low-latency live streaming offers virtually delay-free video transmission and unprecedented interactivity in real time. Pauses in transmissions due to technical restrictions are therefore a thing of the past. Reducing latency to a minimum ensures that viewers do not miss any moments during the Annual General Meeting. This technology ensures that shareholders can experience the events in real time and participate interactively without experiencing any time delays.
"Techcast enables companies to stream virtual annual general meetings and other events without any perceptible time delay," explains Matthias Lysk, Product Owner at Techcast.
A key innovation from Techcast is the "real-time video connection" function, which enables live video and audio contributions from shareholders and ensures dynamic interaction at virtual Annual General Meetings. This allows shareholders to tune directly into the live stream of the Annual General Meeting and ask questions on an ad-hoc basis, which can then be answered immediately by the Management Board.
In terms of accessibility, Techcast is setting new standards for virtual general meetings. By integrating sign language and multilingual AI subtitles, accessibility and inclusion are promoted to enable broad participation regardless of physical or sensory limitations of the online audience.
"Accessibility at virtual AGMs is not costly and represents a decisive step towards promoting ESG approaches," emphasizes Rosie Schuster, Managing Director of Techcast.
With these advanced technologies and solutions, Techcast not only helps to improve the accessibility and transparency of general meetings, but also makes a significant contribution to the digitalization and modernization of corporate governance.
