Overall Satisfaction with IBM Watson Media's Video Streaming

I am a self-employed business owner who regularly uses a live stream platform for masterclasses and events. I required a non-VOIP platform as I add a good deal of music. My offerings with crystal singing bowls and vocals as part of the work I do were distorted on other platforms and I've been very happy with Ustream.
  • Clear picture and sound
  • Option for live chat
  • Replay of published videos
  • I find there is a lag in the broadcast so that as I ask my viewers questions, their answers come 30 seconds to 2 minutes delayed. I realize part of this could be internet connection speed, but I have a good service that is fast for all other functions.
I don't feel I have anything pertinent to add here.
I assume I have but am not sure how.
I feel this is an area I could pay much more attention to, as it sounds like a great asset.
I feel it is well suited for educational purposes, sharing content, webinars, masterclasses, and live streams. It isn't the best for real-time interaction due to the time lag in the broadcast.
