"Cannot be beat for the price!"

5/5

What do you like best about Streamlabs Talk Studio?

Easy to use and customize. You can make things as simple or as complicated as you want. And for $15/month, it's a steal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs Talk Studio?

I wish they'd bring back the hexcode input option for customizing colors. I can make it work with the slider, but it's not perfect and takes time for something that should be easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Streamlabs Talk Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

We just used Melon yesterday for our first YouTube Live Stream, and it worked so well! The guests were able to figure out their own setup, and I was able to coordinate the full experience on my end. It looked seamless, and I looked a lot more technically capable than I really am. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Worked the first time!"

5/5

What do you like best about Streamlabs Talk Studio?

Melon is very easy to setup and customize. Within minutes, we added our logo and brand colours. Scheduling an event to multiple platforms is very easy too. Using Melon for the live event is easy too. The convenience saves time and reduces stress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs Talk Studio?

At the moment, Melon doesn't create separate video files for the screen sharing and the webcams. That would help with editing. Zoom has that capability. Fortunately, Melon is responsive to suggestions and has been quick at adding new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Streamlabs Talk Studio:

The various tools have free trials to help you see what's right for you. Melon is newer and that's likely why they're quick to act on feedback and add features.

If you're using live streaming for business, quality matters. That means getting a paid plan to add your logo and branding. The Standard plan may be enough if you're satisfied with 720p and multistreaming to only three destinations. We got Pro primarily for 1080p and to multistream to unlimited destinations (currently LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Streamlabs Talk Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our goal was to use LinkedIn Live. One of the requirements is a tool like Melon. Although Streamyard and Restream are better known, Melon looked like a better choice due to the features, pricing and speed of enhancements.

We've benefited by being able to schedule and run a session. A nice bonus was being able to multistream to YouTube, Facebook and Twitter at the same time with very little additional effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent for easy, basic livestreaming"

3/5

What do you like best about Streamlabs Talk Studio?

It's simple and easy to use. It's fully web based and has some cool features that are far beyond most in-built live-streaming software your devices will have Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs Talk Studio?

It's simple, which can be a double edged sword. Easy to set up and use, but lacks advanced customisation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Streamlabs Talk Studio:

Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a quick web based streaming platform that's easy to set up and broadcasts across multiple platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Streamlabs Talk Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I want to create a livestream quickly across multiple platforms that looks professional, I can use Melon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Melon is a Great App for Hosting and Live-Streaming Virtual Webinars"

5/5

What do you like best about Streamlabs Talk Studio?

I really like the production features within Melon. I host and stream many online webinars for my company. I used to use Zoom, and I could not have any sort of production. Melon allows me to have a countdown or static image before my stream starts. I can also hide my guests until I introduce them.

I also like the many layout options. I I have three people on my meeting, I can arrage them on the screen in many different ways. This feature makes the stream look very professional to my viwers. Also great options for lower thirds and ticker captions.

I love how to platform is cloud-based. You can use it from anywhere without any downloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs Talk Studio?

The only qualm that I have with Melon is using a virtual background. With other apps such as Zoom and Google meets, I can easily upload my own background image or use stock ones with no issue. Melon requires you to use a green screen which I do not own. If you do not use a green screen, your background image will be unclear and muddled. I do not have a nice-looking professional background in my home, so this is an issue for me.

At first, I had trouble logging into Melon. They require you to input an emailed code to be able to access the account. My boss signed up with his work email. Since I do not have access to his work email, I always have to message him to forward me the code. Once I am in, everything is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Streamlabs Talk Studio:

Get a green screen if you plan on using a virtual background. Also, make sure you test out all of the features to make sure this is the right program for you.

I did many test sessions before my live streams to make sure i was not going to make any mistakes. The screen sharing feature during live streams tripped me up once i got used to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Streamlabs Talk Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sometimes I am not at my regular computer. Since Melon is cloud-based, I can use this app from any device, including my iPhone and tablet. I do not need to download anything to my device to be able to use Melon.

This platform makes my live streams look more professional than any other type of cloud-based encoder I have used in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Streaming for Non-Streamers."

4/5

What do you like best about Streamlabs Talk Studio?

I love how easy Melon is to use. It's also a fantastic option for people who need to stream, but do not have a powerful PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs Talk Studio?

More fine-control would certainly be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Streamlabs Talk Studio:

Give the free version a shot, and upgrade the paid versions in steps if it doesn't meet your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Streamlabs Talk Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

I like that almost anyone can use Melon to get a live video stream up and going (to multiple platforms, even!) within minutes. The user interface is intuitive and straightforward, and a supercomputer isn't required; all of the heavy lifting is done by Melon's servers. Bringing in a guest is also easy, via an invite link, and social interaction with an audience is also really simple to monitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Melon is by far your best bang for your buck."

5/5

What do you like best about Streamlabs Talk Studio?

The customer service stands out the most. I have never experienced interaction with a business at this level. I am creating fantasy football content, and they genuinely check up on me to see how my experience is and what could they change, update, or upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs Talk Studio?

Should I get to a point where I have sponsors I think there should be a sponsor ticker/ tab/ pip that is separate from the normal like and subscribe ticker. I would like to pull my future sponsor and request like and subscribers at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Streamlabs Talk Studio:

Add a sponsor ticker that is separate from the subscribe ticker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Streamlabs Talk Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Starting to create content can be expensive. I like the features that Melon has and the price tag that is tied to the service. It is by far the best price point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
