Vimeo Livestream Reviews

Vimeo Livestream offers quite a bit for the price. However, to take full advantage of the best features offered, the user should purchase a more expensive subscription. Vimeo is very user-friendly and great for beginners are looking for a live-broadcasting other than Youtube or Patreon. The more expensive package includes customization abilities for all live-broadcasting needs of today's basic creators.

The only major cons I've really run into are the cost per upload, and the smaller audience size on Vimeo in comparison to more popular live-streaming platforms.

It has a very good video player, the creators can sell their products on this software and it does not have ads.

The interface is not very intuitive and does not have a free plan, especially for some functions on Vimeo. It's necessary to subscribe to the premium plan to have more storage on uploads.

I liked that you could stream live to livestream and then to other forums.

The higher rate you tried to stream at the more cpu it has to use and would often crash. Uploading videos after for people to watch proved very difficult and you are limited to 3GB.

More secure than YouTube, with the ability to push to any other services we choose (including YouTube and Facebook). Reliable with little to no downtime experienced so far, with consistently good quality.

Difficult integration with LiveStream Studio 6 and vMix at times - and some clunkiness in setting up recurring live events in the archive options. Some frustrations in navigating other archived videos as well.

I utilize this software as a music manager, for my clients. We often livestream concerts, demos, and songs for social media. It allows seamless integration to our social media platforms, and makes everything look more professional overall. My artists use it to stream to their fans, give shoutouts, or run giveaways when we need to. It also works directly with YouTube, which saves time and is much simpler for me, time-wise. My favorite feature is the watermark, which keeps our branded content all cohesive, and prevents issues with the wrong uploads being distributed. The analytics are nice, although not as comprehensive as I'd like, the info is fairly limited.

The lags occur, of course, when we don't have strong signals for connectivity, but I imagine that happens with most any online service. I would like better and more comprehensive analytics so we could present them to deciding members of the board, etc.

I think is very easy an intuitive to use the platform. I use it every week (twice) for my cooking classes

Sometimes there are bugs with the cameras

I love the progress they've made in the past few years in developing their product. It's my go to service to manage smallish events for clients.

It's expensive and the plans aren't very flexible price-wise on their new ones, but they do provide great service and a great product.

Livestream quality and experience are both 5 stars. Vimeo is ideal for classes, I used it to stream dance classes.Everything is simple and Vimeo will help with setup. Vimeo hosts/streamers keep more control than public platform hosts. Love the video watermark and no ads.

I want more plans with lower costs, maybe a completely free plan.

We love that we can quickly live stream to connect with our teams on the go.

N/a as for the internet connectivity. Refresh the browser and click the play button to catch back up to the live.

Easy to use, to set up events, track usage, etc. Excellent software package for streaming from a PC (Livestream Studio). Very flexible and dependable application. Good support, and the system is stable and dependable. We use it 24/7 from both the studio and for streaming from the field.

Really only one minor thing: The need to stop streaming for updates occasionally. (Frequently updated.)

I love Live Streaming because I can log on to my church broadcast at anytime and get a real-time look at what is happening. All of our services and most events are accessible through LiveStream. Its convenient, its dependable and above all keeps you connected.

Maybe once in a while the "stream" will loose connection but, for the most part I have no complaints. I do wish there was better sound enhancement and it was offered on smart televisions. The one thing I hate about LiveStream is that you can get addicted and when that happens you find yourself watching church instead of going to church.

It has tons of features that lets your live stream become unique and adapt to any kind of company or campaign or event you’re trying to sell or show.

It’s a little difficult to use at the beginning if it’s your first time live streaming, but with Some practice your can manage to create great content.

As an administer of Vimeo, we love the features and functionality that it provides us on the back end. Camera quality is pretty good, but heavily impacted by wifi capabilities as with most streaming platforms. We also love how we can customize the look and feel of our clients screens with overlays and lower thirds.

The delay between speaker shots and when the video is actually streamed always causes a bit of pain for our clients. If there was a way to make the image if yourself entirely disappear that may relieve some of the annoyances that our clients complain about.

The interface is quite user-friendly. At reasonable price, good quality streaming can be done, which is amazing. It takes just few minutes to setup and Live stream or broadcast.

More features could be helpful in analytics to get more insight about streams. More option to customize stream will be a great addition.

The platform supports large number of capture hardware and logical souces like other computers and wireless cameras. It can broadcast many different resolutions with great stability. It stores your events on the cloud as if offers am ammount of storage each type of subscription.

The software is costy, but offers very good quality as good cost/benefit.

We starting using Livestream about 7 years ago and it always worked really well for us. We've had few hiccups but it has normally been bandwidth issues on our side. The service itself is pretty rock solid.

I wish you didnt have to choose to stream to Facebook or Youtube, but could stream to both at the same time.

Set up and user training and support is top notch

Menu/Dashboard jumbled up making it a little difficult to make selections

Setup is simple and easy. You can schedule services in advance with just a few clicks.

Could only send streams to one outside platform at a time.

Provides a lot of control over videos.
Livestream studio is a powerful video streaming and production software
Integration of several video formats is excellent

I would like more graphic overlay options. Only three can be used at one time. We need more.

I use it with my wife to sell online cooking classes. The toll is great and now that they lauched a better live stream software is even better

I dont like when i switched from camera to camera, in the middle the recording gets totally black

Easy to connect. Picture and sound were clear

I only viewed the live video and that experience was great. Did ask for several codes to get access to the live video

Vimeo has taken me places and brought places to me right in my office, the professional transition i have gained through the use of Vimeo is remarkable.

Issues with network has been a challenge so far.

I like how you can do live streaming just like YouTube. It is easy to use and do a channel.

The thing about this site you don't have a monetization option to do live streams like YouTube.

I am amazed that I can now simultaneously broadcast live on Facebook, Youtube and more. I am really happy with the output... what the product does.

Livestream's producer seems a bit clunky. Not that simple of a user interface. And I have had the defaults change unbeknownst to me when I went to broadcast. I think the user controls could be a lot better.

Its a pro service.
Have many great feature including Multicast live streaming!
Especially if you are a MEVO Cam user.

Expensive!
Won't recommend if you are full-time livestream and video prod guy/agency.
