Vimeo Livestream Reviews & Product Details

The easy and flexible link embed options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Live stream doesn't get as many views as our regular videos do, but if we want the interaction we will stream live! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Livestream looked like a good solution for our church streaming needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because of limitations when interfacing with Wirecast, we tried to cancel our account after only one day. Their website said they offer a 30-day money back guarantee. The cancel button would only let me cancel the renewal for the next year, and not my current subscription that was only one day old. Tried calling but can only get salespeople, who say they can't help. I've gone through their "support" email system twice with no reply, other than the automated email that says they received my email. I get a help ticket number, but no replies in over a month. Customer service is horrible. Looks like I'm going to have to pay $900 for something I can't use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fairly user intuitive and straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Had slight connection issues. I am not sure whether it was Vimeo or on my end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Livestream's multi-stream capabilities made for great simulcasts across Facebook and YouTube or across multiple pages. The functionality within a live stream allows for a ton of creative license while everything comes together professionally and beautifully. That being said, in order to take advantage of the creative capabilities, you need an expert's help. We were able to find a contractor to assist in the campaign set up and execution during important client events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform requires an expert to set up and stream correctly, especially to multiple platforms and pages. The setup is definitely not as simple as just creating a live on Facebook but the extra work seems to pay off if you need to stream to multiple pages and platforms. If you don't have live stream or video experience you will need to contract an expert for help as the platform is not easy to learn. It is a valuable tool to learn but it can take months to master the platform if you've never used it before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good functionality that allows for a good creative process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You need to be a pro to set it up and requires to much to set up. Needs to be more simplified Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LiveStream has been perfect for our business, which produces thousands of pages of video content, and has a livechat room that our thousands of members love. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As they add upgrades, it has made some tech issues arise with privacy, titling, and ability to download. What we dislike the most is how difficult it is to search the recordings inside of LiveStream. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Incredibly user-friendly interface. Connectivity with other platforms. Easy to implement for a a church or group of any size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer support has been a bit challenging to deal with at times. Have had occasional issues with streams losing connectivity. Generally an extremely positive experience overall though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We stream 2 1-hour events a week, and the Livestream basic account meets all our needs. Livestream's level of subscription fits our current needs. We were nervous about the acquisition by Vimeo but will stay with Livestream for the time being. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not possible to move a post if it was categorized incorrectly at first. The inability to edit a post in this way is particularly troubling (requires you to get it right the first time, and who does that 100% of the time?!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Livestream is incredibly easy to use and helps you display great livestream quality at a reasonable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing I like the best about The Livestream Ware is its user friendliness and it seems fairly basic compared to others that I’ve had to use in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m unsure if I really dislike anything with the Livestream ware. But giving that I had to chose something, I’d have to say that it’s pretty basic in comparison to others I’ve used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How your company can use livestream for conferences and meetings that you can't attend, or want to appear on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's helpful for setting up events live which viewers like better than pre-recorded for some reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't see how this one really stands out compared to all the other possible ways to stream events live. Maybe I haven't gone deeper with this application enough, but there's nothing that really makes me want to stick with this one instead of something I'm more familiar with. I also wish there was better connection with this one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use. It takes only a few minutes to set up your account, and start broadcasting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about the Livestream program is the ability to share live video with my followers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike most about the livestream program is the cost for my start up business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy to set up streaming streaming various events without technical knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost. It’s expensive for the long haul and streaming to both Facebook and Livestream simultaneously is unjustifiably expensive. Our organization will not be renewing the contract for the same reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The use of mobile devices for operating the live feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration among other social sites including Facebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great product! Would highly recommend for businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No dislikes so far. Ask me in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A few key features that are available is the robust platform that Livestream provides in both software and hardware options. With dedicated software for live streaming video for Mac, PC and mobile devices along with dedicated hardware options to stream to their service, Livestream has really thought of any holes in their service and filled them. They are constantly improving their analytics and in doing so has really added a ton of value to their offerings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are two key areas that are on the negative side of Livestream as a software service. The first is that their analytics offerings are limited in a few areas. For instance they give you a great option to see what countries and cities are watching in both live and recorded views, however they don't match add in the states in which the cities reside. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to see Springfield on the list of cities in the US, but not know if it is Springfield, IL or Springfield, VA. The second is that once you are inside of their ecosystem, it is really hard to leave. We have a mobile app that accepts iOS HLS or Android HTTPS, but Livestream doesn't allow you to pull that feed out of their system or give you access to encode another video stream and send it to a different CDN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
