Overall Satisfaction with IBM Watson Media's Video Streaming
We use the streaming service to live stream events and AGMs to remote audiences. We often get asked if there are registration stats or viewer stats. However, the options offered on the platform is limited. The service gives us an easy platform to stream via RTMP that has an embedded player.
- Easy to set up
- Easy to customize, although there are very few options.
- The player is simple for the audience to operate
- Stream from the webcam through the browser is a great function, although we don't use it.
- It means your platform can be used with professional cameras with nothing but a BLACKMAGIC web presenter or a BLACKMAGIC ATEM Mini, both of which are cheap and affordable.
- Limited stats
- No registration options
- Vimeo is not as "well known" as other platforms
Our viewer counts are lower than we would like, but this is often due to the small audience of our customers.
Our live streams haven't failed yet, we are very happy with the stability of the back-end. It would be great if you could add another RTMP stream that could be used as a backup.
The metrics are ok, but are not detailed enough, we often need to see per-user metrics, how long did an exact user watch, etc. This would go hand in hand with the ability to have a registration portal for viewers.

Sorry, I haven't used the closed captions.
