    As mentioned earlier, leaving the liberty to choose a monetization to the client (us) is a big morale booster for brands who want to generate an extra income stream with their content. Plus, their in-built video player that supports ads is also helping us a lot to multiply our money with the same efforts.

    • StreamShark has an excellent live support model, which gives us real-time support on live stream productions. Another feature we like is the Okta SSO integration. This makes it simple to manage access to the videos and streams.
    • Our account manager, James Broberg, is an absolute pleasure to work with. He clearly has our goals in mind when he suggests the new features in our bi-weekly meeting.
    • Additionally, the StreamShark support team, namely, Yudong, Robert, and Aakanksha drive our requests to completion in a timely manner.
    • The look and feel of the GUI is user-friendly.

    None of the other solution providers offer customizability and ownership. Also VPlayed team's support was excellent!

    I had been researching different virtual event s and streaming platforms and kept coming up against the same problems. They either couldn't be branded, the signup flow added friction and would have caused drop off, or quality of the stream was poor. It was also important that I was able to get data and analytics from the stream. This meant that embedded YT live was out of the question because embedded YT don't always count the views. StreamShark Live Streaming Platform allowed for a solve for all of these problems.
