Overall Satisfaction with IBM Watson Media's Video Streaming

I have used this service to livestream Town Hall events to our remote offices and work from home employees. We have used other meeting applications and they do not provide the video quality that IBM's streaming service does. We tried multiple other products we already own for video calls, etc, and found that we needed an actual streaming service to produce something with better quality.

Pros

  • Adjustable bandwidth quality for video. Various meeting applications we tried have low video resolution
  • Works perfectly with OBS
  • Has easy to understand billing

Cons

  • We would like to see a lower cost option for folks like us that only need it once in a while. The monthly option isn't too high, though
We have used it to stream events to hundreds of employees instead of having them travel to hear important company announcements. Easily pays for itself whenever you use it. We have also used the integrated chat as a way to share live feedback with the presenter. It does what it is designed to do very well.
