Pros:
The customer service for the production team is stellar. Not only do they check to see if the encoder is online every week they contact me directly to make sure it is fixed if needed. They've been able to resolve any last minute changes to my streams and have called me mid-service if there is a problem. The newly added security features are a plus! As a Jewish organization, the extra options adde dlast August/September have been vital to keeping unwanted folks out of our chats.
Cons:
Adding extra individual streams after you've used your contracted number shouldn't be more expensive than the per stream cost in your contract.

Cons:
We really have no negative comments. We would still be using them, but needed to cut costs with attendance down.

I think it’s been very positive and it’s a good company. We’ve had some growing pains as they’ve been growing as well but it’s still very much worth it. I do think the camera operators are sometimes a bit out to lunch and they could do a better job.

Pros:
If you’ve been using stationary live control camera at this point it’s going to basically look like a security camera when you moved to this company the quality and the interactivity is really incomparable. There’s lots of things to work out with sound and lighting but they do try very hard and they’re always available as you fix things and get your broadcast better and better.
Cons:
Last week we really had a challenge because I mistakenly set the broadcast to begin at 5 PM the operators called us because nobody was in the sanctuary until 6 PM so they stopped the feed and and restarted at 6 unfortunately there was some sort of bug monitor in the system and it prevented our feed on our browser from being live and was very very hard for our elderly people you do not belong to social media to watch it on a different platform that night. I called him during the service to try to rectify it as people were calling me.

Reasons for choosing LiveControl

We didn’t look at anything else

Reasons for switching to LiveControl

We switched because we wanted a much better worship experience as we have grown very much virtually.

Live Control Review

5

Live Control has helped take our church live stream to a much higher level. This was very critical to our success in a post-COVID world as we were not streaming prior to the pandemic but improved with Live Control within months after streaming. The screen share feature and multiple camera angles have led to a more engaged audience.

Pros:
This product is easy to use once installed and training took place. I like the simplicity of the dashboard, screen share feature, and the multi-camera features the most!
Cons:
Overall the software worked well with our existing processes and products The one change I would recommend is making it easier to merge with the Subsplash Live platform.

Reasons for choosing LiveControl

If there were optional products that are exactly like Live Control, I would choose LiveControl because of their friendly and responsive staff and the fact that I am able to speak with a "live" person during events and when problems arise makes a huge difference!

Pros:
When we decided to contract with liveControl, their set up team made it extremely easy to install and integrate all of the equipment. They worked with us throughout the process to make sure we had the right camera angles, lighting, etc. to make the broadcast as professional looking as possible. They have continued to have our back, Like when our Internet glitched in the middle of the night, they contacted us immediately to make sure that we could get back online ASAP
Cons:
One major feature that is missing is the ability to use a custom thumbnail on the web player for each recording. The system uses whatever happened to be in front of the camera at the moment it went live as its thumbnail, and it makes it very difficult to make sense of the archived recordings. I am not a programmer, but it seems like that would be a very easy feature to add, and it would add a lot to the ease of use for the end-user.

Reasons for choosing LiveControl

Primarily, it was customer service. From my very first phone call, the staff was more than willing to make sure all of my questions were answered, and that I felt comfortable. Many of the other products that I inquired about, did not have the same level of service. Since I am not the tech person for our organization, I needed someone to speak to me in plain language. Life control did that.

Pros:
Live Control offers us the ability to keep our Shabbat rules. We can stay hands off on Shabbat. All we have to do is schedule the service ahead of time and the professional camera operators at Live Control do the rest. Live Control worked with us to install 4 cameras in our sanctuary. Their new software supports using all of our cameras and offers congregants at home an immersive experience. They have been great to work to help us customize our solution and work out any tweaks along the way.
Cons:
The pricing is increasing, so it may be more difficult for us to use produced services as regularly.

Reasons for choosing LiveControl

Mainly because we didn't need to hire onsite camera operators and figure out how to purchase an OBS workstation on our own. Keeping Shabbat rules was also a major factor.

Customer service its outstanding. Livestreaming not so much. I am very disappointed with the weekly livestream. For special event, they have been outstanding. I wish they did not have to assign different operators every weekend.

Pros:
convenience of not having to depend on a volunteer or have to hire someone to run the cameras
Cons:
I still had to have a volunteer run the graphics Change of operators at every event does not allow for improvement on livestream Not having an assigned operator/s does not allow for improvement. Its like teaching every operator how the order of the service. this system its supposed to be less work for me but it has become more work for me. I feel frustrated with the changing of operators not knowing the flow of the service. We've been with LiveControl since March and still the operator does not know when to switch to the lector, operator does show creativity, our building has beautiful stained glass windows they hardly ever show. I've instructed many times to be creative and NOTHING. I've been instructed to write an outline, but do I have to write an outline every weekend? I do understand when we have special events, fine but not for every Sunday service.

Reasons for choosing LiveControl

it seemed like a good concept, maybe it is for Mega churches, but not for Catholic churches.

Live Control enables High Quality With Minimum Resources

I have 35 years of professional technology experience. I have been very impressed with the technical support at every interaction. LC provides excellent people available in all time zones who do not guess at issues or problems. They always inspect their considerable technical data on our configuration performance and are very eager to satisfy our needs and interests. Live Control makes a very complex product very reasonable to use.

Pros:
Quality productions w/o hiring people and invading sacred sanctuary space with distractions with very reasonable and fair pricing. Te ability to schedule static events with minimum notice and no extra charge has been invaluable to support practice, experimentation and last-minute needs.
Cons:
Contacting support during a streamed event is via phone with no console chat. We would like a way to enable prearranged live external interaction with the stream, such as remote guest talking with someone at our lectern.

Reasons for choosing LiveControl

Our experiences with Zoom proved that it requires much higher effort and produce much lower quality with inconsistent results.

I love the ease of scheduling the events. You set the date/time and LiveControl takes it from there.
Cons:
There isn't really anything I can think of. Price would be something, we pass the cost on to our families, if we can save them some that is always a plus, but I think it is fair.

Reasons for choosing LiveControl

The fact that someone else is behind the camera, so our staff can focus on the funeral.
