Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros There is nothing good about this software. It is not user-friendly, has terrible connectivity, there were always issues with sound every time I used it, and their customer service is completely unhelpful. Once you get used to some basic concepts, it's very easy to set up multiple "camera angles" and channels of video content, including Picture in Picture, and perhaps most usefully, overlaying two video streams with the front one with a transparent background. For example, to put you the presenter in front of your powerpoint slides so you can point at things, and still advance the slides. Switching between channels is straightforward, either a fade or a cut, and you can edit a channel whilst broadcasting on another, which is great for adjusting the green screen when the light has changed, and to place your three PIP participants for the next round of an awards ceremony. The resultant broadcast can go anywhere you want it to - I've used it with Zoom, GoToWebinar, Teams, and Hopin Has useful features like bottom third (your name and title) and clocks. Cons Difficult user interface, connectivity issues, problems with sound echoing or no sound. Terrible customer service. Exchanged multiple emails with them and they were unhelpful. I tried calling the corporate number and left many messages and no one ever responded.‘s It seems like they don’t care about keeping their customers happy. Since it's on your computer, all the streams have to come to your computer before they can be combined and broadcast out, which could create problems with bandwidth if you have a lot of external feeds. It took me a while to get used to setting up multi-layer (Picture in Picture) channels, and I only found out you could edit one channel whilst broadcasting another in the last couple of weeks.		Pros from Real Users Pros Ease of use. I can now use other cameras and other switcher devices for even more seamless live streaming and taping of our church services Mobile, Easy to learn, Full of with the must features that a livestream requires, Touch Screen Interface Sleek, dynamic app design; reliable, stable UI; LOTS of dynamic, sophisticated ways to polish the little details. Support team is exceptionally communicative and leadership listens carefully to user feedback. Very easy to connect remote cameras. Multistreaming, horizontal/vertical video options and enhanced video call-in experiences have made a great product even greater. I really like the ability to have multiple cameras to choose from without having to have multiple camera operators - the DJI integration makes it even better. I also like the WIFI connectivity, allowing me to place my cameras in the best position without having to worry about getting wires to them or wires being in walkways or aesthetically intrusive. I really enjoyed the like for like familiarity. Having a powerful processor helped to have a much slicker environment to interact with, which meant importing assets, adding sources and more felt much faster than the iPad Pro counterpart. Recording video and live-streaming felt just as natural and familiar as I was used to having on iOS. There’s also scope for much more connectivity on Mac OS and I look forward to seeing how the app grows in the Apple ecosystem. When Covid started, I wasn’t able to have people come to my podcast studio and faced an immense challenge. I needed to become mobile. I looked far and wide for alternatives and I was not satisfied with some of my options. I found switcher studio and it completely changed my business. I’m able to produce extremely high quality production, fast, efficiently and convenient for my clients. I could show up to them, set up and give him a full broadcast that would have taken several hours and thousands of dollars. I use switcher studio in every production i do and it has completely changed my quality of life and the life of my family and business. Thank you!
