Meet the new 2 Stream Cosy Studio in Zaventem

A professional livestream studio near Brussels doesn't have to look like a newsroom. The new 2 Stream Cosy Studio in Zaventem pairs a warm, lounge-style interior with full broadcast infrastructure, four PTZ cameras, eight wireless microphones and live production, five minutes from Brussels Airport.

That's the direct answer for anyone searching for a studio that offers both comfort and technical depth. The rest of this article explains why the format matters, what's actually in the room, and who it's built for.

Why we built a studio that doesn't look like a studio

We see this constantly in our work with communications directors and event managers: the people in front of the camera relax when the room doesn't feel like a television set. A CEO doing a townhall, a spokesperson recording a customer testimonial, a panel of executives discussing a merger — none of them perform naturally under a grid of studio lights against a bare white wall. They perform naturally in a room that feels like somewhere they'd actually sit down for a conversation.

That's the thinking behind the Cosy Studio. Natural oak acoustic slat walls, a black ceiling, warm lighting, plants, a cream sofa and armchair replace the cold, boxy look people associate with corporate broadcast. A large central screen sits at the centre of the set, and the whole space is designed to be dressed differently for every production. Client branding and visuals go directly onto the screen and into the set itself, so the same room becomes a different studio for every client who books it.

The result is a space built for corporate webinars, executive interviews, panel discussions and hybrid events where the technology has to be flawless but shouldn't be the thing people remember. What people remember is the conversation. That's the point.

What's actually in the room

The Cosy Studio runs on the same broadcast-grade infrastructure as a traditional television studio, just built into a set that doesn't look like one. Here's what's included:

• 4 professional PTZ cameras for multi-angle coverage without a full camera crew standing in shot

• 8 wireless microphones for panels, interviews and moderated discussions with multiple speakers

• Professional studio lighting, tuned for a warm, natural look rather than flat broadcast white

• Professional audio mixing and live video production, run by an experienced crew, not left on autopilot

• A confidence monitor for presentations, live programme output or remote participants joining via video call

• Integration of PowerPoint, videos, graphics and remote speakers into the live feed

• Recording and livestreaming, so the same session becomes both a live broadcast and a reusable video asset

• Flexible client branding, applied to the screen and set elements for every new production

Around the studio floor sits a meeting room and green room, kitchen facilities with catering options, and a large free car park — practical details that matter more than they sound once you're coordinating a full day of back-to-back interviews or a hybrid event with international guests arriving on a tight schedule.

Built for executive interviews and CEO communications

This is where the Cosy Studio format earns its keep: executive-facing content needs a room that reads as credible on camera without reading as intimidating in person. Leadership interviews, stakeholder updates and investor communications carry reputational weight, and the setting either supports that or undermines it.

A rigid corporate backdrop can make even a well-prepared executive look stiff. A lounge-style set with a sofa, warm lighting and a natural material palette changes the register of the whole recording: the same message lands, but it lands as a conversation rather than a statement read into a camera. For organisations recording quarterly updates, CEO townhalls or one-on-one stakeholder interviews, that shift in tone is often the difference between content people watch through and content people skip.

The technical layer stays fully professional throughout. Confidence monitoring lets a presenter see slides, remote participants or programme output without breaking eye contact with the interviewer. Multi-camera coverage from four PTZ units means the edit has real coverage to work with, not a single static angle. None of that shows up on screen. That's deliberate.

A location built for international and cross-border productions

The studio sits in Zaventem, close to Brussels Airport, Brussels city centre and the Brussels Ring, with numerous hotels nearby. For organisations flying in a speaker, an executive or a panel of guests from outside Belgium, that geography removes a genuine logistical headache: no cross-city transfer, no risk of a delayed connecting flight turning into a missed segment.

We work regularly with international organisations, EU-adjacent institutions, NGOs and multinational corporates coordinating people across time zones and travel schedules, and studio location is consistently underestimated until it becomes the thing that nearly derails the shoot. A studio five minutes from the airport, with a green room to decompress in before going on camera, solves that quietly. It's also why this format complements the work we've covered previously on professional livestreaming for corporate events and conferences, where travel logistics and technical reliability both determine whether a hybrid event actually runs on schedule.

From webinar to hybrid panel: formats the studio supports

The Cosy Studio is built to be reconfigured for the format in front of it, not to force every production into the same shape. Formats it supports well include:

• Corporate webinars, with PowerPoint, video and graphics integrated live into the stream

• CEO and executive interviews, using the confidence monitor and multi-camera setup for a natural, unscripted feel

• Panel discussions, with up to eight wireless microphones covering multiple speakers at once

• Customer testimonials, filmed in a setting that feels closer to a lounge conversation than an interrogation

• Video podcasts, recorded and produced in the same session

• Training and educational content, recorded for later distribution or streamed live to a distributed workforce

• Livestreams and hybrid events, combining in-room audiences with remote participants joining via integrated video calls

Every session can stream to a client's existing platform, or through CenterStage, 2 Stream's own European event and video platform, when an organisation wants viewer analytics, registration and on-demand replay handled in one place. If you're planning a hybrid event and haven't yet decided how to handle registration, replay and audience data, our piece on renting a webinar studio in Brussels walks through the decisions that come before booking day.

What a half-day production actually costs

A half-day Cosy Studio production starts from €3,500 excluding VAT. That figure covers the studio, the technical infrastructure and the crew running cameras, audio and live production, not just a bare room rental.

What moves the price from there is scope: the number of remote speakers being integrated live, whether the session is recorded only or also livestreamed to an external platform, how much custom branding needs building into the set and screen, and whether the output needs post-production editing afterward rather than a straight recording. A single-speaker webinar with slides sits at the simpler end. A multi-camera panel with eight microphones, remote guests dialling in from three countries and same-day edited highlight clips sits at the more involved end. Organisations weighing studio rental against building out a temporary AV setup at their own venue should also factor in that a fixed studio removes rigging time entirely, since lighting, acoustics and camera positions are already solved.

Which format fits which situation

• A CEO recording a single message to staff: the confidence monitor and one-camera setup keep it simple and personal.

• A quarterly stakeholder update with Q&A: multi-camera coverage plus wireless mics for a moderator and one or two respondents.

• An international panel with guests flying in: the Zaventem location, green room and catering solve the logistics before the cameras even roll.

• A recurring webinar series: recording and livestreaming together mean each episode becomes both a live event and an archive asset.

• A branded client event: the flexible screen and set dressing let the room carry a different identity every time it's booked.

The takeaway

A studio can be broadcast-grade and still feel like a room people actually want to sit in, and that combination is what makes conversations, not equipment, the thing viewers remember. Once you know that trade-off exists, you stop settling for a cold backdrop just because it looks "professional" on paper.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a studio suitable for both webinars and executive interviews?

A studio suited to both needs multi-camera coverage, reliable audio for one or several speakers, and a confidence monitor so presenters can see slides or remote guests without losing eye contact with the camera. The Cosy Studio covers both with four PTZ cameras, eight wireless microphones and live production support, letting the same room shift from a single-presenter webinar to a multi-speaker panel.

How much does it cost to rent a professional studio near Brussels?

A half-day production in the 2 Stream Cosy Studio starts from €3,500 excluding VAT, covering the studio, technical crew and live production. Costs rise with the number of remote speakers integrated, whether the session streams externally, how much custom branding is built into the set, and whether post-production editing is added afterward.

Can the studio be branded for our organisation?

Yes. Client branding and visuals can be integrated directly onto the central screen and within the set, so the same physical studio can be dressed differently for each production and each client.

Is the studio suitable for international guests and speakers?

Yes. The studio is located in Zaventem, close to Brussels Airport, Brussels city centre and the Brussels Ring, with numerous hotels nearby, making it practical for productions involving speakers or guests travelling from outside Belgium.

Can we livestream to our own platform, or does it have to go through 2 Stream?

Both options are available. Productions can stream directly to a client's existing platform, or through CenterStage, 2 Stream's own European event and video platform, when registration, analytics and on-demand replay are needed alongside the live broadcast.
