Vimeo Livestream Pros and Cons
- Customer support provides live assistance and live stream production services
- Integrated analytics lets you track engagement accurately
- Extensive marketing tools available including custom webinar registration forms
- Customer service response time is slow
- Pricing models lack transparency
One of the most easiest to use, livestreaming services available, taking only a few minutes to set up and stream to an audience as big as you require. With it's multi platform capabilities, it is extremely easy and simple to stream to anyone on either desktops, or mobile devices. The quality of the stream is automatically adjusted to cater to the user's connection speed and device. The amount of bandwidth used for the streamer is efficient and high quality. An extremely good platform to use to host meetings over long distances and for streaming to the public. Analytics are also provided with the higher tier packages that are available. Another feature that is really good to have is archival of the streams with unlimited storage, allowing anyone that misses the stream to be able to watch it at a later date.
There isn't much to dislike about the service, the quality of the livestreams could be improved to allow for HD1080p brodcasting, instead of the current maximum of HD720p. An increase amount of bitrates and as well as an audio-only broadcast for certain events would also help ensure that the users accessing the streams would be able to tune in efficiently with receiving the quality of stream most optimized for their stream.
It is extremely easy to stream meetings over long distances with high quality to multiple locations at the same time, and to individuals that are travelling overseas. With livestream having servers all over the globe, it is always ensured that all of the users of the stream can join in with the highest quality that is available over their connection with minimum lag.
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 Kept Studio as a "preferred" video streaming tool, which still allows significant to achieve professional production for live streaming while remaining highly reliable. Great bonus: simulcast to other destinations than just Vimeo.
Studio remains really useful, but no significant upgrades have been deployed yet. The way remote guests are displayed and handled is not really appealing for viewers. Social media formats compatibilities might boost this switcher.
Remote guests is definetly a feature we've used to solve many requirements, but since pandemic boosted web conferencing, more zoom alike features could help a lot.
The easy and flexible link embed options
Vimeo isn't the best at dealing with connection down time. If internet drops, it can be difficult to reset this in a slick way for the end user.
We have moved our entire events service provision to online, with the help of Vimeo. This process has been very easy, from onboarding to delivery.
Vimeo is already one of the best video platforms, so by having the live stream capabilities I found that my team can live stream our content just as easy as you can upload you can stream. I found that people really love interacting with us
Live stream doesn't get as many views as our regular videos do, but if we want the interaction we will stream live!
I found that it's hard for our audience to stream on their phones through a web browser or non app software. It is best with a laptop. It helps with connecting to our audience and gauging their real reaction to our content! We have found a new segment of the audience loves live streams and prefers that sort of content!
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.
How your company can use livestream for conferences and meetings that you can't attend, or want to appear on.
for those who don't have an account that maybe contractors, it maybe a little hard to access the livestream meetings if you're not around a strong internet connection
mobility and accessibility for our teams
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.
I like how easy it is to set up and host a live stream from this platform. It integrates seamlessly with RTMP applications such as OBS. The chat and interactivity features make it easy to include community participation.
There are fewer options to adjust the delivery of your stream to viewers than other platforms, such as YouTube. I would have liked to see an option to add a stream delay, so that feed to viewers would be delayed by 30 or 60 seconds for a smooth experience with timing things like real-time captions.
We have several yearly events that are live-streamed to remote audiences. Vimeo allows us to do that with fewer options to "discover" unrelated content, such as the suggested videos column on YouTube.
