	The in-house audience is visible to the online audience at points of the program through the livestream camera angles. However, it is rare that the online audience can make their presence known. Providing panel/talk moderators with tablets that show the incoming questions from the online audience gives them a moment to intervene and engage with the program, just as much as an in-house attendee can with a handheld microphone.

	There are some less visible actors contributing to creating a hospitable, welcoming environment– namely, the Secret Online Moderator (SOM). This is a rotating role among IMPAKT festival workers that comprises welcoming online audience members into the chat, providing links and context for the talk, as well as moderating comments as needed. It is an important role that is essential to the maintenance of a safer space.

	In-house attendees are more likely to spend longer amounts of time in one place. Online attendees are more likely to disconnect after a shorter amount of time. Part of this is feeling connected to the space and the context. Providing only an intermittent stream whether due to technical disruption, or opting for broadcasting only main stage programs, can be very jarring to an online audience. Providing a continuous and reliable stream allows audiences to stay in the rhythm of the festival.		In-house attendees are more likely to spend longer amounts of time in one place.

	After testing several streaming options, our research found that building our own video player through Mux and embedding this into our own [[IMPAKT Web Portal\|web portal]] provided the most smooth and reliable livestream. However, for clips from talks and panels, archiving the material on our Youtube still ensures for the widest reach to new audiences.

In a panel setting, we have standardised to give equal footing to all speakers: each remote speaker appears on a TV screen that is placed level with the speakers sat at the physical table. This also means that the overhead projector is free to be used for slides, or other presentation materials, by the speakers.

	However, it is not just the audience members that participate in the festival hybrid– it has become common practice that speakers and performers also join the festival remotely. When they do so, we connect with them via private video links using the built-in calling system of the streaming software we use, VMix. This private connection offers more fine-tune control and feedback about the stability of the connection. Remote speakers have joined the main stage program of the festival in various configurations. Keynote speakers will typically present while being projected on the large screen in the main hall; if there is a Q&A portion, sometimes they will then be moved to a smaller screen so that the moderator can be looking at eye-level.

	The hybrid iteration of the past two years has sought to allow virtual and physical attendees to experience the festival to an equal quality. In large part this means making both physical and virtual attendees feel the larger context of what they are participating: that is, give physical guests access to online content, and provide holistic and reliable coverage to virtual attendees. Feeling the context is reliant in large part on the experience of liveness/simultaneity of access for both groups that creates a feeling of sharing in the same collective moment that events such a festival can occasion.
