I've troubled a lot with Streaming in the platform especially with ive streaming and used tons of services in the past. I've to say dacast is one of the best streaming services out there. of all the features in dacast the social sharing is the most helpful tool for me which help me stream the video live to facebook. the software integrates well with webcams as well as digital camera's. paywall integration is another great feature in dacst that lets you create a pay per view layer and create unique user logins to access the content. its also very easy to embed the HTML player to the websites and dacast doesn't show any ads unlike many other services out there. the pricing is also cheap when it comes to dacast and the monthly plan starts at just $19. the customer service is absolutely great and they are online 24/7 to help you out with the questions. there are tons of options available after uploading the videos. you can set your own privacy settings and closed captions according to your need.they also offer a free trial to try their service before paying for it.

The price is right for us as we are not focused on video. It is easy to use has more features than we need. One important feature for us is being able to set the thumbnail to whatever we want. They have a very nice audio player that has been an excellent solution to occasional needs for audio in web pages. The player looks good too.

I like that vzaar is relatively inexpensive for video hosting, but also gives you features like CTAs, ability to add popup forms / lead collection, GA tracking. Their chat support is outstanding and always goes above and beyond to help me figure out workarounds when I'm trying to figure how to do things that aren't readily available out of the box.
