GOOD
- This software is extremely easy to use and set up. It’s designed for basic streaming, yet can cater to more advanced production needs.
- The software is fully loaded with all the features you would expect including branding options, multi-destination streaming and the ability to invite remote contributors into the stream.
- The company offers support via in-app messaging.
- For the price, this software offers a ton of value, especially if you are doing daily or weekly streams with multiple contributors.
- We’re very likely to recommend this software to individuals and organizations looking to produce live stream broadcasts to multiple destinations and with more than one contributor on the stream.
BAD
- This software is very easy to use, but can be little too complex for someone just starting out or needing to run a basic single camera stream.
- While the software is fully featured, it does lack mobile functionality as there is no native app available and streaming on mobile is via web browser.
- Support, while very helpful, is limited and not set up for mission critical streaming.
- For more complex broadcasts this software provides a ton of value for the price.
- We’re likely to recommend this software for more complex, multi-destination, multi-presenter broadcasts only.
