PRIVATE BROADCAST
Private live streaming for celebrations in New Zealand
Many New Zealand families have relatives in Australia, the UK and the Pacific. A private broadcast lets them share a Christmas gathering, a Waitangi Day get-together or a child's milestone with people who cannot be there, over a single private link.
