Overall Satisfaction with IBM Watson Media's Video Streaming
It is used to live stream our Sunday services and events where some family member can't make the service. The services are then available for on-demand viewing.
- Very few issues with connectivity to the servers. I think in the 10 years we have used it, we only had one case where the service was down. Can't say that for our sister church that uses Facebook. Seems to be one event per quarter with them.
- The ability to trim the video down to remove extra content from the live broadcast. Would be nice if we could trim out elements in the middle.
- Nice analytics.
- Wide range of methods to get the servers.
- The ability to edit or trim out content in the middle of the recording. The Trim feature is great for removing content from the beginning and end, nothing for the middle. If we could have in/out markers to put on the timeline, that would direct the player to only play those segments between the in/out markers.
Yes, we have. It has enabled us to get our message out to traveling/homebound members. It has also allowed us to provide family members or friends access to a marriage or loss of a family members service.
The only feature we use is the auto copy of the live service. It allows us to get the content up on the video-on-demand service quickly. We are not yet equipped to do SD-CDN.
The application is great. We have used an earlier version and precursors to the analytics system.
We haven't tried using that at this time. We don't have a requirement for it.
