Overall Satisfaction with IBM Watson Media's Video Streaming

I set up Ustream at my church to broadcast daily church services.

In addition to being a member, I own an audio visual company that installs cameras and video streamers. Since the first installation, we have set up Cerevo streamers for other clients and had them create UStream accounts to broadcast their events.

Pros

  • Auto record
  • Easy to use
  • Great reporting

Cons

  • Video editing
  • Lighting control
  • Adding the ability to block unwanted users who rack up viewing hours
Since many of the communities we serve are very populated, streaming allows for attendance at events even when the room size prohibits a large crowd. We have one client with a meeting facility that is only 25' x 40' in size. It cannot hold enough people for a full township audience.
Yes.....fantastic to see metrics for use. Some of our township customers have only gotten feedback about their cable TV meetings over the phone. With UStream, the managers can see how many people actually attend from home. It puts the few telephone calls received into perspective with the overall audience on line.
Churches- used for sick at home or shut in members who cannot make it to the building for weekly services.
Township board meetings are generally lightly attended. Some towns have public access channels on cable while others do not. Streaming allows smaller municipalities a greater audience reach without having to invest in cable TV access.
