Pros / Cons
  • The greatest part is we have multiple volunteers helping with broadcasts and we were looking for the simplest option for less technical individuals...no streaming keys, just a toggle on and off switch.
  • Some abilities of the platform do not work straightforward but require a workaround and because that workaround is not clear it requires constant alert when you add new team members.

  • Dacast provides the fundamental features needed to live stream events at a price that is reasonable.
  • We tried using DaCast for about a year in Paraguay, but the latency was consistently very high, and the encoding performance was unreliable. Despite several attempts to make it work, the quality just wasn’t up to standard.
