Overall Satisfaction with IBM Watson Media's Video Streaming

We utilize IBM Watson Media's Video Streaming to distribute the live and archived streams from our weekend services to our website. This format is being used across the entire organization and we have found that it is a reliable resource in communicating with parishioners and other interested parties who could not attend the live event.
  • Quality video
  • Easy to use interface
  • Simple to incorporate into our website and other modes of communication
  • Few connectivity issues but occasionally there is that glitch.
We are a very small organization so we have no opportunity to test this option.
We have found that Watson is a great option for our organization's size. Larger churches may have the option of utilizing more features by choosing a higher level of service. Smaller congregations may find it to be a bit expensive.
