Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's easy for our small team of volunteers to set up and run each week, which is great since our AV team had to do a lot every Sunday
  • 90 day unlimited storage - including videos upload. Stream to multiple platforms. No login or registration for viewers. Ease of use. Multiple channels. Stream LIVE from iPhone or iPads. No extra hardware needed to start.

Cons

  • The only issue we've ever had was some server side clock issue which caused our service to start to soon, but that was fixed with in a week or two.
  • Price. For Zoom meetings, cannot user recurring meeting - need to generate a new meeting for every schedule broadcast / stream. Only iOS support for mobile devices.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Supplied Art (lots) especially compared to Streamyard. Solo person layouts reveal some of the background which is a plus for mood|branding. Can choose Fonts. Can move logo freely. Lots of background choices.

Cons

  • Changing info on screen while recording. There are so many options it's good and bad. The menus would need to be organized and concentrated somehow to make them easier to get at more quickly and confidently. Therefore only 4 stars.
