    Livestorm is well suited to use when you need to reach a group of more than ten people. It wouldn't be a good solution if you wanted interaction from the audience in more than the form of chat.

    YouTube Live is best suited for conducting live interviews, live podcasts, live events, this could be either digital or physical events, community building, community connect, education, webinars, product launches. another good use case is for having live exercise sessions like live yoga sessions or meditation sessions where instructor led sessions can be conducted remotely and two way communication can be established using the chat function. only place where I feel it may not be great is where you want to limit the access to who joins into the live stream especially when you are embedding it into another page restricting sharing becomes difficult. Or having the person find the actual YouTube Live link and share it without your control might make it difficult.

    • I do find that sometimes the live music channels (not radio) that i have playing at the background of my workday has a lot of duplication. Like it's not live, more like few tracks on replay.

    Usability
    Livestorm
    Making sure the permission settings for your camera, microphone or browser can sometimes be tricky. If we have a guest, we always have to double-check these. It's also not super intuitive that you need to "Get on Stage" from the webinar page.

    It's easy to use. People can easily use this platform to stream and watch streams. I am unsure how to advertise on the platform effectively. YouTube Live seems disconnected from the audience it aims to attract, which is crucial for its platform's success. I think there are just quality-of-life improvements that could make it better, even though it's easy to use

    The customer service representatives are extremely attentive. They do an excellent job of trying to understand the scope of the issue and follow it through until it has been resolved. When I have provided them with recommendations for improvement they have taken them to heart and many times implemented them. I trust that if I ever have a problem they will be there to help

    YouTube Live Is more cost effective it is more widely seen easily available and better while I have used Facebook Live, Linkedin Live, instagram live YouTube Live is more easier. to use, but combined with a multi streaming platform the net effect is excellent and you can actually stream to all the platforms together at the same time

    • It's been great! It's the very bottom of the funnel for us so it helps accelerate leads and create opportunities.

    • It's become a reliable source of traffic (even years after each Live they keep adding views)
    • It's added hundreds of subscribers to my newsletter (where I sell my services and courses)
    • It has increased my visibility with less effort than in more produced non-live videos.
