Case Study: Mizuno Corporation achieves flawless, inclusive live‑streamed all‑hands in under three weeks with Panopto

Launching a Live Streaming Solution for North America Headquarters’ High Profile All-Hands Team Meetings in Less than Three Weeks

Mizuno USA, the North American arm of the global sports apparel and equipment maker, faced a high-stakes communications challenge: the new CEO’s first all-hands meeting—featuring visiting executives from Japan and a chairman’s address—needed to reach staff across two offices and a nationwide field force, but the date was fixed and the IT team had less than three weeks to find a reliable live-streaming solution. Previous attempts using internal web conferencing had produced dropouts, poor audio, and difficulty capturing slides, videos and music, so the company needed a modern, turnkey platform that could replicate the in-room experience for remote employees.

Mizuno chose Panopto’s enterprise video platform, using its one-click Webcast, multi-camera and multi-source streaming, easy editing and Active Directory SSO integration to launch a secure, professional-quality live broadcast in the tight timeframe. The event streamed flawlessly to hundreds of remote viewers, captured all presentation materials and audio, and generated strong positive feedback from the CEO and staff—delivering an inclusive, repeatable process for future all-hands meetings.
