Case Study: Pro Football Hall of Fame achieves reliable, easy multi‑platform livestreaming and expanded audience reach with Vimeo

How to Choose a Livestreaming Platform: Tips from the Pro Football Hall of Fame

The Pro Football Hall of Fame needed a reliable, easy-to-use livestreaming solution to broadcast ceremonies and special events to fans beyond Canton, Ohio. After struggling with platforms that froze or were hard to operate, the Hall selected Vimeo’s Livestream platform to improve production quality and make live video accessible to broader and remote audiences.

Vimeo delivered Livestream with features like auto‑adjusting bandwidth, simple usability, simulcast to the Hall’s website and Facebook, privacy controls and flexible hardware support, enabling multi‑camera productions run by minimal staff. The Hall used the service to stream events (e.g., the 2017 U.S. Army Award for Excellence) to over 3,600 viewers and reported a 5,000–10,000 monthly increase in website traffic, while boosting production value, sponsor appeal and potential new revenue streams.
