Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We livestream a range of events, from our graduation ceremony to live Q & As. Essentially livestreaming gives us wider access to our stakeholders, be it colleagues, families of our students, prospective students or current students themselves.

Pros and Cons

Storage of footage is excellent, clear and easily managed.
Syncing to our streaming system is easy.
Reliability is always good.

The preview functionality of saved footage can be very laggy.

Likelihood to Recommend

It suits a lot of our streaming in regards to having chat functionality and also as a lot of streams are to education establishments it is often much more user friendly in comparison to more social channels like youtube or facebook in regard to accessing whilst on site. To clarify, YouTube and Facebook are blocked on a lot of school's ICT systems so they struggle to access content on there, Ustream/IBM Watson always works.

A reliable streaming service that we've only praise for.
