KEY IMPACTS
- Embedded the high quality live stream in LPCUWU school website for its own promotion and management
- Allowed the graduates to share the happiness with thousands of friends and relations overseas
THE SITUATION
Li Po Chun United World College of Hong Kong (LPCUWU) is an international school with students from over 80 countries. While many graduates' friends and relations were not able to attend the graduation ceremony in person, online live streaming allowed them to witness this remarkable event and shared the happiness with all the graduates. LPCUWU offered global live streaming of the ceremony by partnering with TFI.
THE CHALLENGE
LPCUWC was concerned that access to social media platforms was restricted in certain countries. To tackle this problem, TFI embedded the HERMES Live video player in the school website (www.lpcuwc.edu.hk/graduation-ceremony ), allowing worldwide audience to enjoy the ceremony through a wide range of devices.
