Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The service was adequate when it was worked. We didn't experience buffering or sound issues on the weeks where it worked.
  • It works with Wirecast that we use in-house. Not much better than other streaming services that are available.
  • Annual premiums will not be prorated should you cancel 1-2 months into the renewed term. Annual means annual. No refunds.

Cons

  • Signed up for a free trial, was charged instantly. Even though we did the same process each week, it only worked 7 of the 10 weeks we used the service. When we cancelled (because of merging with another church), they billed me for an invoice that for the month which started 4 days after our cancellation. Acknowledged that it was for the month after cancellation, but would not refund the month.
  • ChurchStreaming.tv support is horrible. Time of response is horrible. Definitely not helpful when stuck during your Sunday service that gives you problems. It appears to be a one man team support. Not sure what is going on but not a streaming service I want to keep paying for.
  • Annual termed contract.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nothing it's entirely horrible. Bad service. Doesn't work. Rude support agents. No assistance whatsoever.

Cons

  • Did not work at all. I followed all of their instructions, adjusted DNS settings, etc and it never added my overlays. Added my PS5 to my DMZ with a public facing IP and still doesn't work.
