Use Handbid’s native streaming tool to share a latency-free livestream with your guests.
Zero latency means there aren’t any delays, unlike with solutions like YouTube/Vimeo/Facebook. With Handbid, you can actually run interactive hybrid auctions with in-the-room and remote bidders without the typical 30-second broadcast delay! Moreover, you can do it from a single interface! No need to have your bidders log into a conferencing tool while they bid from a separate app.
Think your guests would prefer a YouTube or Facebook livestream? No problem. Handbid does that, too.

Live auctions aren’t just for the bidders in the room
With Handbid Premium Streaming, remote bidders can participate without missing a thing.
Thanks to zero latency, virtual guests can bid during silent auctions. They’ll see what’s going on at the same moment your live guests see it, so they can place bids and raise paddles as if they were right there with you.
Use your livestream to support more bidders, get more bids, and raise more money!
