Book your podcast series or corporate video production at our Brussels studio this summer and pay only for crew. Studio access is free.

What is the summer studio offer from 2 Stream?

This summer, 2 Stream is making studio time free. You pay only for our crew: the director, technicians, and producer who make the session work. The studio itself costs you nothing.

Half-day sessions start at €1,500 ex VAT. That price covers professional crew, multi-camera HD/4K capture, broadcast-quality audio and lighting, and full technical direction. The studio overhead that typically makes up a significant portion of a production invoice is simply removed from the equation for June, July, and August 2026.

The offer covers podcast series, corporate video, executive interviews, stakeholder communications, and live broadcasts via our CenterStage platform for organisations that want to stream directly to a hybrid audience.

Why summer is the right time to produce content you'll use all year

We see this constantly in our work with communications directors and content teams across corporate, public sector, and international organisations: the content they need in September, October, and November gets planned in the summer and produced too late. The autumn calendar fills up fast with live events, conferences, and end-of-year campaigns. Production slots disappear. Budgets get squeezed against event costs.

Summer is the window. Demand on our studio drops in June, July, and August. Decision-makers are harder to reach for new projects, but the teams who do plan ahead gain a structural advantage: they enter Q3 and Q4 with a finished content library rather than a production backlog.

The organisations we work with that produce their podcast series or corporate video bank in summer consistently launch stronger. They have time for proper post-production, review cycles, and distribution planning. Rushing a six-episode podcast series into a two-week window in October is a different product than recording it properly across three half-day sessions in July.

This offer is designed to remove the one barrier that typically delays that planning: cost.

What can you produce in a half-day studio session?

A half-day at our professional webinar and video studio in Zaventem is more productive than most organisations expect. Here is what a single session realistically delivers:

Podcast production:

Two to three full episodes recorded and technically clean
Intro and outro sequences captured
Multi-track audio for clean post-production separation
B-roll or talking-head video if you want a video podcast format

Corporate video:

One to three short-form pieces (two to four minutes each)
Executive or spokesperson interviews with professional lighting and framing
Scripted or semi-scripted segments with teleprompter support

Live broadcast via CenterStage:

A fully produced livestream to your audience on Zoom, Teams, Webex, or YouTube
Lower thirds, branded graphics, and multi-camera direction included
Backup recording for post-event distribution

The studio is five minutes from Brussels Airport in Zaventem, which matters for organisations bringing in speakers or executives from outside Belgium. No one loses two hours to Brussels traffic.

How much does a podcast studio session cost, and what drives the price?

The starting point for a half-day session this summer is €1,500 ex VAT, with studio access included at no additional charge.

What moves the price up from that baseline:

Number of cameras. A single-camera interview setup is simpler than a three-camera panel discussion with cut-away angles.
Live broadcast complexity. A CenterStage livestream with branded graphics, multiple remote participants, and live moderation requires more crew and technical preparation than a straight recording session.
Graphics and branding. Custom lower thirds, animated intros and outros, and on-screen branding elements add design and integration time.
Post-production scope. Raw delivery versus edited, colour-graded, and audio-mastered episodes are different deliverables. We can scope either.
Number of sessions. Organisations booking a series of sessions across the summer get better unit economics than single-session bookings.

For a podcast series of six to eight episodes, or a corporate video bank of four to six pieces, the total scope and cost becomes a custom quote. The starting point is always a conversation about what you need to produce and what you need it to do. You can see examples of how we've approached this kind of work on our client project portfolio.

Who is this offer designed for?

The summer studio offer fits a specific type of organisation and communications challenge. It is not a generic "come record something" discount. It is structured for:

Organisations launching a podcast series. A six-episode series recorded across two or three summer sessions is ready to launch in September with a full content bank. That is a materially different position than launching with one episode and recording week to week.

Communications and public affairs teams building a content library. Executive thought leadership videos, stakeholder briefings, and campaign content filmed in summer are available for deployment throughout Q3 and Q4 without competing for production slots against live events.

Pharma, finance, and professional services organisations with investor or regulatory communications. These productions require broadcast quality, controlled environments, and professional crew. Our studio in Zaventem is built for exactly this. The studio facility details cover the full technical specification.

International organisations and NGOs with multilingual production needs. Summer scheduling is often easier for coordinating speakers across time zones and geographies. Our studio handles multi-language productions and integrates directly with the platforms your global audience already uses.

Event and communications agencies looking for a production partner with studio capacity for client work during the summer period. We work with agencies as a production facility and technical partner, not just direct with end clients.

How to book a summer session and what happens next

Availability for summer 2026 is limited. The offer runs through August, and half-day slots fill on a first-confirmed basis.

The process is straightforward:

Contact us with your production brief: what you want to make, how many sessions you need, and your preferred dates.
We scope the session, confirm crew requirements, and send a custom quote based on the €1,500 starting point.
You confirm and we schedule a pre-production call to align on format, graphics, run-of-show, and any technical requirements.
You arrive at the studio in Zaventem. We handle everything from there.

For organisations new to our studio, we recommend reading our guide on renting a webinar studio in Brussels before your first session. It covers what professional organisations typically need to prepare, what to expect from a full-service studio environment, and how to make a session as productive as possible.

For organisations that need production beyond the studio, our on-location livestreaming service runs parallel to the summer studio offer and can be combined for hybrid productions.

Studio access is free this summer, half-day sessions start at €1,500 ex VAT, and the booking window is June through August 2026. Book your summer session at our Brussels studio and confirm your dates before the slots are gone.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a studio session cost at 2 Stream this summer?

Half-day sessions start at €1,500 ex VAT during the summer promotion. Studio access is free; you pay only for crew, which includes a director, technicians, and a producer. The final price depends on the number of cameras, whether you need a live broadcast via CenterStage, custom branded graphics, and the scope of post-production. A series of sessions booked across the summer is quoted as a package.

How much content can you produce in a half-day studio session?

In a single half-day session, most organisations record two to three clean podcast episodes, or one to three short corporate video pieces. The exact output depends on format complexity, number of participants, and whether the session includes a live broadcast component. Sessions are scoped in pre-production to make sure the run-of-show fits the available time.

What is CenterStage and how does it work for live broadcasts?

CenterStage is 2 Stream's platform for live broadcast productions. It enables fully directed livestreams from the studio to platforms including Zoom, Teams, Webex, and YouTube. Sessions via CenterStage include multi-camera direction, branded lower thirds and graphics, and a backup recording for post-event distribution. It is designed for organisations that need broadcast-quality live output, not a basic screen-share.

Is the summer studio offer available for agencies producing content for clients?

Yes. Communications, content, and public affairs agencies are a good fit for the summer studio offer. 2 Stream works with agencies as a production facility and technical partner, providing studio access, crew, and technical direction for client productions. Custom quotes are available for agencies booking multiple sessions or ongoing production capacity through the summer.

Do I need to bring my own equipment or crew?

No. The studio in Zaventem is fully equipped with multi-camera HD/4K setup, professional audio, and broadcast lighting. 2 Stream provides the full crew: director, technicians, and producer. You bring your content, your speakers, and your brief. If you have specific branding requirements, graphic elements, or technical integrations, those are scoped in the pre-production call before your session.

Where is the 2 Stream studio and how do I get there?

The studio is located in Zaventem, five minutes from Brussels Airport. This location is practical for organisations bringing in speakers or executives from outside Belgium, and for Brussels-based teams who need to avoid city-centre logistics. Full address and directions are available on the 2 Stream contact page.
