What is StreamShark Live Streaming Platform?

Streamshark is an enterprise video streaming solution supporting immersive 360-degree 4K streams, compatible also with VR (Oculus Rift, Vive). Users can organize live and on-demand content into channels, create and show playlists on channels for business units and major company events, and feature upcoming Live Event or recent on-demand content.

Content can be shared via a landing page for authorized viewers to browse channels and find video content. Content is available with a HTML5 360° Video Player works across desktop and mobile devices. The administrator can also customize the channel by using color scheme, logos, background image and font, and can select a theme to each channel to match an organization’s brand or event marketing. For users, playlists can be automatically be generated based on tags or creator, or users can create manual playlists if preferred. Viewers can also use search within channels or across an entire content library.

Streamshark supports multistreaming, enabling creators to simultaneously rebroadcast to destinations like YouTube, Twitch, and Periscope or custom servers that accept RTMP input. Streamshark can also receive all live chat feeds and make them reviewable from a single feed, for the content creator.

We have over 70,000 customers around the world and needed a solution that allowed us to launch our new platform in a consumable way. I had been researching different virtual events 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. The team were incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. The platform itself is very user friendly and any questions I had were solved straight away. The video engineers even stayed up to 2 am AEDT to make sure our AMER stream went off without a hitch. This will be the platform I recommend to my event networks
  • Live Support
  • Stream Quality
  • Ease of useability
  • Being able to add SRT files to pre-recorded vids intended for livestream
StreamShark Live Streaming Platform is great for live events, pre-recorded events that you want to make look live and with its extended functionality of pre and post event stream options you can create a unique user experience
  • Live streaming pre-recorded content
  • Build as you go function (eg you can set up the livestream and add content later/ change it
  • Good support from the StreamShark Live Streaming Platform team
  • Using StreamShark Live Streaming Platform we had a 92% engagement rate on our stream

StreamShark rocks!

StreamShark is our livestream destination and VoD content management solution. We regularly livestream company town halls and external events through StreamShark. We host over 4000 videos in our VoD library through StreamShark.
  • StreamShark is a reliable livestream destination.
  • StreamShark has top quality security.
  • StreamShark is a team that listens to their clients needs.
  • Accessibility in the form of in house closed captions
  • Added customization to the front end experience
  • Additional in house analytics
For internal communications such as Town Halls, StreamShark is a perfect solution. StreamShark provides the necessary security needed for private companies as well as a tried and true viewing experience for the end user.
  • StreamShark is a more cost effective solution than IBM CloudVideo
  • Training on StreamShark will save cost over outsourcing live-streaming production houses
  • StreamShark makes working from a digital environment easier
We used IBM Cloud Video (previously called Ustream) for years. StreamShark is a better product in every sense. It is a more cost effective product. They have a support team who really cares about their clients success. And their product is ultimately more reliable than IBMs.

StreamShark is utilized by our organization to broadcast internal live events to employees. We also use this platform to manage our Video-On-Demand archives.


  • 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.
  • It would be great to encode using Variable Bit Rate. This would allow for potential network savings by optimizing unused bits while still allowing to deliver higher quality video.
  • We’d like to see user-level access and not just admin-level access. This would be a limited-access role, but would still allow users to upload videos, understand insights, and manage streaming content.
StreamShark is well-suited for large one-to-many broadcasts, but there are more nimble videoconferencing solutions that can accommodate smaller attendance collaborative events, primarily due to the near real-time nature of videoconferencing solutions.
  • This service has positively impacted the organization by allowing larger audiences to receive information and act on said information in a more timely manner. This equates to more productivity around the organization, as initiatives and objectives can be efficiently shared with remote attendees in all of our different office locations.
StreamShark provides prompt service that helps us maintain the availability of our streaming services.

StreamShark Review

We use StreamShark primarily as a video streaming platform for live events. It is used across the organization for staff meetings, training, community/industry events, etc. StreamShark addresses the following challenges:
  • Localized (within Australia) ingestion and redistribution of live video streams.
  • Protection of video streams through integration with SSO.
  • Localized media ingestion, encode, redistribution.
  • Multiple homepages for channels e.g. one for public and one for internal.
StreamShark is very well suited for live streaming!
  • Facilitates engaging communication with staff and external parties.
The workflow and encode/redistribution is much better in StreamShark. StreamShark is better suited as part of a live video event where the event is run by a production team. The Microsoft solution is better integrated with MS Teams, Yammer, etc. This does make the MS solution a little more accessible to staff with no production experience. Microsoft also offers this service as part of an enterprise Office365 subscription.
The customer support from StreamShark is exceptional. Always very responsive and quick resolution which is often needed just before an event goes live.

Two Streams, One Team

StreamShark is currently utilized by our Corporate Communications team to host and live stream video content across the business. Service Stream needs to be able to communicate messages through the video medium across 2,000 employees and 19 offices. Our video host needs to be scalable and stable which StreamShark provides.
  • Easy to use interface.
  • Fast buffering and load times.
  • Mobile responsiveness.
  • Channel support (see YouTube channels).
  • More Webinar options, i.e. polls and attendance.
  • Better reporting (see Zoom, i.e. advanced attendance logs, attention tracking).
Well suited for live stream scenarios. It's an easy to use plug-in with Epiphan hardware and provides a stable environment for videographers to play in.

Not suited for on-demand hosting in large organizations that have Office 365/Microsoft Stream licenses. The ability to connect Active Directory to Microsoft Stream is a killer feature, can StreamShark implement this function?
  • Bigger opportunity to communicate with everyone in the business en mass.
  • A more professional look when communicating with stakeholders.
  • Stability.
Microsoft Stream, Zoom, YouTube and Vimeo.
Great response times, had personal help from James when needed, felt like an extremely valued customer.
