VideoLinq | A True Powerhouse Live Event Streaming Platform. made in Canada :-)

I have found VideoLinq to be incredibly helpful. It has allowed me to easily stream live videos to multiple social media channels. This has helped me reach my target audience and also helps me earn revenue more efficiently. The player wizard is also very helpful and easy to use. I have been able to create multiple players with different styles and different layouts. I am able to easily switch between player types without too much hassle. The API is also extremely helpful and has allowed me to integrate the player into other tools I use.

PROS

I love this tool because it is so powerful. I can easily broadcast my live-stream to all of my social media platforms with just a few simple steps. The automation tools make it easy for me to manage my broadcasting schedule and the player wizard makes it easy for my audience to access the content. I also love that the company has a powerful API for developers, which allows me to integrate their player into my website and other apps.

CONS

Great platform, there is a learning curve, but it's well worth it. Perhaps a better onboarding experience.

Great alternative, but still in an early stage

Besides the annoying feedback messages on the control interface, I really live Videolinq don't have plans to look somewhere else. They are investing on their platform and adding new stuff all the time.

PROS

The price is great. It has many options, so in the ratio of money/value, it's one of the best solutions available today. If you're tech savvy or don't mind reading instructions and/or testing until things works, Videolinq is a great solution for multi broadcasting to YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn and many other online platforms.

CONS

A few months ago, they started adding messages to the control panel, where they constantly ask for your feedback. This messages popup at the worst times, e.g., when you are on the middle of a live streaming, and you don't need any distractions. Plus, they are not configured on a smart way, so that if you have already seen it or answer it, it won't show up again.

Reasons for switching to Videolinq

Pricing. Restream is easier to use and setup, but they are pricier. Videolinq requieres more work to setup and doesn't have as much metrics, but this was not a big issue for me.

Best platform for Streaming

In conclusion, the platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools that streamline the process of live video streaming. I was impressed by the platform’s automatic closed captioning feature, multi-channel streaming, videolinq player and stream protection, as well as monetization options.Whether you’re a content creator, business owner, or organisation looking to deliver premium live video experiences Videolinq offers a reliable and feature-packed streaming solution that’s worth exploring.

PROS

Videolink's automatic subtitle service is a game-changer. It delivers captions in real-time with unbeatable accuracy thanks to the platform's advanced speech recognition technology. Multithreading to Social Networks: I love the ability to reach a larger audience with Videolink's multiithreading features. Video Player: Videolink Player offers a smooth and engaging viewing experience. The player customization options let you customize it with your logo and colors to make it your own. Flow Protection: Stream protection is a priority for all video producers and businesses, and Videolink takes it very seriously. They have strong security measures like password protected broadcasting, IP restrictions, etc. Monetizing Live Streams and Videos: It's never been easier to monetize a live stream or video. Videolink offers multiple monetization options such as Ad insertion, Pay-Per-View, and Subscription.

CONS

Occasionally, it may experience performance problems with live streaming like buffering or loss of quality. However, these are isolated cases and should be seen as a major problem as opposed to its advantages.
