Live Streaming - Lite!

We use Watson Video Streaming just once a year for our high school Senior Signing Day event in May of each year. It is pretty easy to navigate and the guys on the service line are great. They really want to help resolve your issue in the best manner possible. We stream our two-hour event for parents who are at work and attend the live event or other family members living outside the area and can't attend. We fundraise and take comments during the live stream. As I said, I really like the folks on the helpline.

We are a relatively small public charter school. We had 72 graduates this spring and we live streamed our Senior Signing Day. This is an event when all students present where they will attend college. Some students perform skits, other do dance routines, some prepare 3-minute videos. All this is live-streamed to our school constituency i.e., parents, grandparents, our other schools, and everyone who could not attend the live event because they live outside of northeastern NC area. We have even had former teachers watch from Zimbabwe! We get great comments from viewers that we answer in real-time as well.

Sorry, I can't answer this one. I would need to speak to my videographer who does our live stream.

Yes, we love to see the number of viewers and when they come and go off the stream. We have not tapped into distribution across device type but our connection strength is fine. We have not leveraged the metrics to better understand our viewers. We pretty much know who they are - relations and friends of the 12th-grade students on the stage announcing their college of choice.

We are not using closed captioning. Maybe we will in a future broadcast.

Unless something went terribly wrong with Watson, we would not select another service.
