Overall Satisfaction with Socio

Socio was used by my client who was putting on a virtual event. I was helping to produce the Livestream signal from one of several locations and needed to interface with the Socio platform. With the current pandemic, this was a tool by which the client could have a conference and reach a large number of viewers as well as have presenters from various locations.
  • event management
  • virtual event broadcast
  • makes it easy to learn to use the platform
  • support services
  • RMTP signal switching with other presenters
  • Make the learning curve even easier
  • Login and Connectivity ease of use for non-tech users
  • can use RTMP streams
  • chat function
  • file management
  • It has expanded my virtual event tools to recommend to my clients

I use a Newtek Tricaster streaming hardware to produce multi-camera shows. Socio was able to use my RTMP stream however you cannot switch from Socio to other presenters during the event and thus I had to configure my Tricaster output as a virtual camera source and use a second computer to connect to Socio for the event. It was a workaround but I would prefer to use one computer to free up the second to monitor socio as an attendee.
