The rapid transformations that the Covid-19 pandemic brought to educational institutions worldwide have already shaped the next steps of academic reality. Institutions have experienced unprecedented changes in learning practices and relations, bringing an interconnection of a multidisciplinary community to focus. As the academic activities are slowly reconstructing from a strictly online approach to a more hybrid one, solutions are forming in order to provide the best model for the new requirements. Therefore, universities are at the forefront of this transformation by being the main stakeholders influencing the advancements in hybrid educational activities and the first consumers of new technological solutions. Live stream hybrid events are the latest trend. The paper tackles the case of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) on how the university delivers live stream large-scale educational events for in-person, online/virtual, and hybrid mode. Moreover, the paper sheds light on the challenges brought forth, the solutions implemented, and what proposals are designed to improve the services offered.
