Endavo Media and Communications, Inc., a global OTT video distribution platform for innovative creators and communities, announces its recent investment to bolster its live event and channel offerings. With in-person events continuing to be sidelined beyond 2020, the company is producing a robust streaming schedule that includes film festivals, concerts and performing arts.

Endavo’s new turnkey Virtual Live Event Platform, released this month, allows clients to easily program scheduled livestream events directly on its platform with pre-recorded content, live slots, marketing and promotional slates and advertising. Users can also monetize their live programming with PPV paywall, donations, series subscriptions and sponsors. In addition, Endavo launched its Interactive Live Event Experience to increase viewer engagement during events. The newly integrated features include live chat, live polls and trivia, social walls, Zoom panels and meetings, Shopify storefronts and donation collections.

“On the heels of our work streaming the Democratic National Convention this summer, we have seen a tremendous uptick in demand for live virtual events,” says Paul Hamm, founder and CEO of Endavo. “In the ‘new normal’ of 2020, we need streaming innovation more than ever, and it was evident that the industry standard wasn’t cutting it for many entertainers, live event producers and at-home viewers. Our new product releases result in the most robust platform in the industry for programming and streaming live events instantly.”

To get into the Halloween spirit, Endavo is debuting its new platform enhancements and streaming two haunted events, airing Thursday, Oct. 29 through Sunday, Nov. 1, 2020.

  • The Dark Zone Network presents Queen Mary, a 24/7 live streaming paranormal experience from the historic Queen Mary ship in Long Beach, Calf. Hosted by Susan Slaughter (“Ghost Hunters International”), Aiden Sinclair and Becca Knight (“Illusions of the Passed”), the 4-day live streamed event will include supernatural investigations on the most haunted ship in the world, interviews with famous ghost experts, a virtual Halloween party, live music performances, costume contests and more.
  • The Murder House live stream from the famous American Horror Story house will include 14 mounted cameras from rooms that experience the most paranormal activity inside the home. Daily live programming with the homeowners and special guests will feature world renowned exorcist, Bishop James Long, celebrity psychic and white witch Patti Negri, vampire expert and acclaimed author Michelle Belanger, and more.

“We had been looking for a streaming partner that we felt could produce the same high quality results as the content we create for our viewers,” shares Kathleen Burns, CEO and executive producer of Cabana 512 Productions, producer of The Dark Zone. “Endavo has exceeded our expectations and has been an incredible live streaming partner to work with over the past few months.”
