Streaming it

Your team may already be using a streaming platform to conduct team and/or staff meetings, in which case your current technology platform can likely be utilized for your Virtual Ring Ceremony.

If you’re not currently using a streaming platform for team meetings, there are several low/no-cost platforms suitable for your Virtual Ring Ceremony needs, depending on your program length, audience size, and desired production features.

Jostens recommended platform for a Virtual Ring Ceremony is Zoom, as its features are best suited for a ring presentation event.

All of the technology platforms curated by Jostens are FREE for your virtual audience to use. Some require application downloads or social media “following,” but all are free of charge to those viewing your Virtual Ring Ceremony.
