A few key features that are available is the robust platform that Livestream provides in both software and hardware options. With dedicated software for live streaming video for Mac, PC and mobile devices along with dedicated hardware options to stream to their service, Livestream has really thought of any holes in their service and filled them. They are constantly improving their analytics and in doing so has really added a ton of value to their offerings.
There are two key areas that are on the negative side of Livestream as a software service. The first is that their analytics offerings are limited in a few areas. For instance they give you a great option to see what countries and cities are watching in both live and recorded views, however they don't match add in the states in which the cities reside. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to see Springfield on the list of cities in the US, but not know if it is Springfield, IL or Springfield, VA. The second is that once you are inside of their ecosystem, it is really hard to leave. We have a mobile app that accepts iOS HLS or Android HTTPS, but Livestream doesn't allow you to pull that feed out of their system or give you access to encode another video stream and send it to a different CDN.
We are able to share, communicate and target a large audience of people who currently won't come to one of our weekend services or buildings. They might be traveling, or might have moved and still want to stay connected to our organization. By using Livestream and the archive, and storage features, we are able to allow access to our full services without worrying about copyright issues but still allow anyone to watch, rewatch or share our content.
Minimalistic live TV production software value as a crazy low cost. We received the app free when we bought a 3rd MEVO camera in 2019. MEVO was bought by Livestream. Livestream was bought by Vimeo. Logitech just bought the MEVO camera hardware brand.
Well, if you have an issue, it is difficult to find user generated answers in a forum because "Livestream Studio" is the most generic name and usually the subtitle to any competitor brand "[Brand Name here] livestreaming studio app"
We have an error message and not any searchable solution avenues. For example, we are getting UNKNOWN ERROR and can't use the app. Now, we we have to spend a lot of time figuring out why.
It’s easy to set up streaming streaming various events without technical knowledge.
The cost. It’s expensive for the long haul and streaming to both Facebook and Livestream simultaneously is unjustifiably expensive. Our organization will not be renewing the contract for the same reason.
Outreach and member engagement outside of the organization has been extended thanks to the product. We were also able to benefit from not having to have someone without much technical expertise to run the system...but as we’ve grown, we’ll move more towards more scalable, affordable solution.
I like the ease of use. It takes only a few minutes to set up your account, and start broadcasting.
I feel that the way broadcasts are searched for could be improved so that people could more easily access content that they would be interested in viewing.
I feel that it helps me to connect with authors and readers. It helps me to deliver content in a quick way.
Livestream is extremely user friendly on a personal level but also on a business lever. For a low cost you can have a professional quality livestream that is truly unmatched. It is intuitive, cost efficient, and professional. I cannot speak highly enough about Livestream as a videographer. I have integrated livestream into multiple churches, used it at wedding and at live concert events without any issues whatsoever.
I wish the video quality was higher for the video download options. While the actual stream is high quality, you should be able to download an HD version of the video after you have filmed. This would alleviate the need for me to purchase other software, which I think is a detriment to Livestream.
Working for a church, being able to livestream our services has allowed us to review and critique our Sunday morning and our quality has almost doubled. Having livestream has also allowed us to reach more people, introduce people to the church, and provide a way for the congregation to stay connect while they are away.
Vimeo Livestream has the ability to create reoccurring livestream events or create single events. They can be set up far in advance so they can be marketed the proper way. The process is very easy and streamlined.
We haven't had any problems setting up or broadcasting live stream events. The quality has been great and there weren't any problems that I know of. Viewer feedback was very positive.
Vimeo Livestream is a feature of the subscription we already are paying for with Vimeo so it has been a great addition to our marketing efforts. We were previously using Facebook Live and several others, but this is much better!
What I like best about the Livestream program is the ability to share live video with my followers
What I dislike most about the livestream program is the cost for my start up business
With livestream I am reaching my customer base giving our special and how tos.
Livestream is incredibly easy to use and helps you display great livestream quality at a reasonable price.
In the past, we have had Livestream's servers fail during our events. There was a month or so last year where it was happening sporadically and we almost started looking into other providers. However, they reached out to us and let us know they were working hard on updating their servers and since then we haven't had any issues.
We first started creating a livestream video setup about 2 years ago. Once having the necessary equipment in place, we started checking out providers on a trial basis. After testing multiple providers out, Livestream worked with our current setup seamlessly.
