Crowdcast Reviews & Product Details

Virtually inviting audience on the screen through chat.

Their customer support is very informative and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quality of screen share can be improved.

Lack of dial-in by phone for speakers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to announce casts in advance, require registration if appropriate, charge if appropriate and for attendees to ask questions in advance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's pricey. A good value, but I don't know if I'd sign up at the current pricing. My plan was grandfathered in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy Crowdcast is to use. We use it for our company training and sales webinars and it's very easy for our customers to sign up and attend. I also like that the sessions are automatically recorded for those registered who couldn't attend and that all previous webinars and future webinars are listed out on a nice page. The support is very nice and helpful too. We also like the ability to save custom polls and calls to action in the webinars too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've had some quality issues with our screen share recordings and sound. But the support staff always does their best to help with pinpointing the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration with Patreon, the interactive functions (Q&A upvote, easy to create polls in an instant, user friendly tools for both admin and attendee). The community feel for the broadcasts is very good, if that is aligned with your brand. I also appreciate that another person can be logged into the same admin account as a "producer" to help with the execution of the broadcast, instead of having to purchase another "host" account like you do in Zoom. It is perfectly fine that with Crowdcast only one admin can be onscreen at a time; the behind-the-scenes "producer" allowance is more than enough.

It's extremely easy to get started with Crowdcast and set up your first event. The fact that you can customize each event on your channel is great --- private or unlisted, you can accept payments!!! so that only paying customers can attend, or if you use Patreon you can create patron-only broadcasts so that only active Patreon subscribers can access those broadcasts or recordings.

Not much to dislike, but if it's going to be your primary webinar platform and you want more of a one-way delivery, the welcoming community aesthetic may not be for you. For us, our authority is a very important part of our brand, and so a one-way webinar interface is more in alignment. However, for Patreon broadcasts, the community aspect is welcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Crowdcast experience is as easy and simple as can be, both for the people creating the webinar than the people watching.

Really easy to plan, make your webinar a paid one, it just works and you can be set in 5mn for a free webinar. You cannot have a smoother experience. It works super nicely on mobile as well which is super important for my audience. You can super easily make a webinar paid, free or private so all your marketing/teaching needs are covered.

I don't know. I haven't stumble on anything that's annoying yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've used at least 6 different webinar platforms in the last few years on a quest to find one that offered a great user experience for both myself and the attendees. Crowdcast is it! I love the depth of the analytics, the interactivity of the platform, and the ability to provide attendees with a great learning experience. I also appreciate that Crowdcast has the ability to integrate with our CRM. This provides greater ease and better tracking of customer and subscriber date.

My customers have said that they like the Q&A feature in Crowdcast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that comes to mind is the poll functionality. It's not really easy to use during a broadcast. I wish I could pre-load a couple of poll questions and then launch it as needed during the broadcast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

System is easy to use and reliable. Reasonably priced. And with just a half hour of training, I was pretty much ready to go and do my first webinar. (I did not have any previous experience with running a webinar) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far I'm quite happy with crowdcast. I've yet to find a downside, other than not having access to tech support during the weekend. That is usually when I do my webinars. So having some support then would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Crowdcast is very easy to setup, in terms of the account and also for each event. They offer extreme value for money, have awesome customer support, and the feature that my clients and audience love most is that there are no downloads they need to make in order to view. Another audience-side plus is that the URL for each event remains the same (if I'd like) so there's no need to hunt down emails to gain access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not being to isolate screen sharing to a particular tab; but that also could be browser related. On a few occasions I wished that I could have a little more capacity to have others on-screen, but that's a minor wishlist item. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We saved around 6 hours of work per webinar when we switched to crowdcast a couple years ago. Since then we've increased the frequency of webinars and grown our audience significantly. They are all about removing barriers and making it as simple as possible for both hosts and audience members, and then they provide amazing metrics we can use for our reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Crowdcast has been limited to Chrome for quite a while, and is not as useful for smaller meetings. Therefore we've had to use crowdcast for it's strengths which is to reach a larger audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unlike other platforms, the technology is very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to have a feature where I can add an attachment like a pdf for the participants to download. Other than that, it's perfect for my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is so user friendly. It's quite possibly the easiest platform I use for my business now. They have nailed it with making it accessible and easy to configure. And the staff has been excellent in getting questions answered immediately. Super impressed. Definitely a top rated company to do business with. They go above and beyond. Highly recommend.

Haven't found anything that is notable yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My absolute favorite part of Crowdcast is the tight integration of video, chat, and Q&A. It is so simple for me, as an organizer, to invite presenters on screen and host a great session. Moderation is so straight-forward. I also like that questions composed in the chat window can be converted for use in the Q&A feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were direct API access to the platform for creating and deleting events and registering/unregistering attendees. The current feature set is practically perfect in every way otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Here are my 4 favorite things about Crowdcast: (1) The registration page, the event page, and the recording page are all at the same URL. (2) Recordings are available almost immediately after the event. (3) It has great interactive capabilities, namely the chat and Q&A functionality. (4) Everything is nicely designed, so it's easy to get up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the early days, the recording quality was not good enough, but it has gotten better over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's so easy to use, I can recommend it to all of my clients, no matter how tech-savvy they are. It's beautifully designed, and feels like one of the most modern platforms out there. It has a nice FEEL to it. The lack of a need to download any software is also a huge benefit for participants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have had problems with slight clicking sounds in the audio whenever I have exported the video/audio after events. The login system is sometimes confusing for older, less savvy participants. Limit of 4 people on screen. I've experienced trouble with people having trouble accessing or hearing the video in their browser, even on chrome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Crowdcast is so easy to use. There are so many webinar platforms that are difficult for the presenter and attendees to use. There are also many features that were helpful during the webinar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see the option to add an admin during the live webinar (it's a small fix) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fantastic, responsive support - when I had questions, the CEO joined the chat to answer them. Exactly the features I need. Easy to use, and super-intuitive too -- I was up and running in under 5 minutes. One of my best experiences with a web service ever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's more expensive than I'd like. They do allow you to cancel at any time and they have a $10/month "pause" feature, but the minimum useful feature set is around $60/month. It's a premium product so I can justify the price, but only if I start and stop the service to only be active every few months, which will involve some hassle. At half the price, I'd probably set it and forget it (and have more frequent livestreams for my patrons.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use for host and consumer. We all like the chat feed and the video when live, communication is easy and nothing is missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

can't think of anything specific. (I'v not explored many of the extra features, like sharing screen or sharing to FB) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That I am given full access to and control of my community's data (emails, stats, etc) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't livestream from my phone yet, though I'm sure I'll be able to some day Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Crowdcast is easy to use and very reliable. It is one of the main components of my business and brings in most of my customers. Plus, their support is amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that when you create an event with multiple sessions that there are no notifications going out for each session and that the date and time stated for the event does always only show the first session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Crowdcast has a fresh interface that appealing for attendees and functional for hosts. The ability to provide almost instant replays at the same URL is a big bonus. The video quality is also excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Getting panelists set up to broadcast is more complicated than it needs to be. I'm also disappointed with the ease of creating templates for doing the same kinds of webinars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Crowdcast has streamlined and simplified every part of the live stream process to multiple locations. Awesome and effective tool that builds and strengthens relationships. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike is having to pay :)... then I think about all the time Crowdcast saves me and remember how much value I receive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there was nothing remarkable about this software other than a shocking number of bugs, horrible product instability issues, and an unapologetic CEO who seems to be oblivious to these and other serious issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

crowdcast is extremely buggy. According to correspondence with Crowdcast's CEO, their database "locks up" from time to time when lots of people try to sign in, which makes it so that nobody can watch the live event. This seems like a pretty huge design flaw given that the purpose of this software is to host events with a few thousand people. We tried to stream our live event through this platform and received thousands of user complaints saying they couldn't access the livestream to the event. This software is supposed to do one thing (live casting of a video stream to thousands of people) and it fails miserably at doing that one thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First of all they are so personable, and always available to help out in any way at any point of learning, setting up, having your actual event, and even after too.

The system makes things so easy, to taking payments or registrations, to automatically emailing the participants, to reminding them with the link to join, and the recording is available IMMEDIATELY after so there's nothing that needs to be done really but show up! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That my laptop overheats even on googlechrome browser, and I have very high speed internet. And because it has to be on certain browsers, my students sometimes have issues getting on, or watching the replay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That I can build a personal profile presence and business channel whilst recording excellent Workshops and Podcasts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That it's only on Chrome - Crowdcast are looking to change this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
