Two important points: - Multistreaming - Give access to my guests with ease In addition, the streaming quality is HD.

They have a feature that no other competitor has: STREAMSHARE. With this, I can send a simple request to my guests to have the Streaming published in real time on their networks. No calls, no follow-ups, just a request from the Switchboard interface. Additionally, the interface is very user friendly, complete and modern. Many custom destinations. And the customer support is high quality. Quick response and concrete solutions.

So far, nothing has displeased me. Every time I ask for something, they have solved it. Even for non-existing features, they confirm that they are planned in their roadmap.

Switchboard is good for what it does. Stream live to multiple sources. If that's what you want, and that's all that you want, then Switchboard will get the job done nicely. But if you want extra features, unfortunately, Switchboard doesn't yet have them. However Switchboard offers a smooth and easy setup if you want your live stream to be displayed across multiple platforms. It has a nice, intuitive flow to getting started. You have plenty of platform options and options for the source of the stream. The StreamShare function seems interesting if you have a network of people who are willing to also share your livestream on their channels/profiles.

Switchboard makes it very easy to stream your live video to multiple locations at the same time. A unique feature that draw me to it is called StreamShare - where you get to invite other people to stream your live video, on their channels. It's an easy setup where you just share a special page with them, and they can connect their channel to your stream, without giving them your passwords or sensitive info. I still have to wrap my head about how to motivate others to share my stream on their channel and how this would all work from a business perspective. Getting ready to stream is pretty easy. You just add the destinations, currently 12 - facebook, youtube, twitter , twitch, linkedin, dacast, vimeo, snapstream, streamingchurchtv, regular RTMP, dlive & acamai. For me I just used for multiple of my own youtube accounts and twitch. And I'd imagine many people would probably only use for facebook, youtube and twitch. So the important ones are here. The output works good, it's fast in full HD (1080p) and clear, without any lags. It great that it works with OBS (which is free), but there are also a lot of other options which are less popular. They have youtube videos that show you how to setup everything to get started.

I don't like the interface. The main website has a nice modern design, but after I login, the design is just horrid. Why is it dark mode with no option to switch to white? It looks like a 1995 design with all that gray interface. I get it that it wants to have this "studio" kind of vibe, but it's not a studio, it's a website. Another thing, is the lack of features. Honestly, there are many competitors, and most of them already have a scheduling function. Switchboard only allows it to go live. Scheduling a live stream with a pre-recorded video is pretty essential for these kinds of tools. The tool lacks a lot of other minor features, and it just seems incomplete. All I can do is stream live, and that's pretty much about it. It needs a better interface and more features.

The product sounds very good. In reality it is unstable, not compliant with some plattforms, and you can only use it for some limited cases.

The product sounds very interesting, and is looking on the first view very nice. It would support many things, and you can do really nice things with it.

Unfortunately the support is really, really bad. Emails are in general completely ignored. The platform is not stable. And most worse: It is incompatible with some mayor plattforms (f.e. Amazon IVS). To say it in clear words: You can not stream to any plattforms, because of incompatibilty issues of Switchboard.Live. Its working with Casr.io or Restream.io, so it seems to be a Switchboard.Live issue. As the support is more or less non-existant, not helpful, and seems not to be skilled with basic livestream issues, this is a complete show stopper. You are deploying some livestreaming with multiple sites (Facebook, Youtube, ...) Some plattforms are not working. And even the existing one is not stable. I had also additional stability issues, that some inbound servers of Switchboard are not working at all some times. So you should not use is for professional/reliable use.

Since Switchboard is new, there's a lot of features that are missing, but I like where the company is going. I also appreciate that the company also listens to its customer's feedback and future request. While the most requested features like Unified Chat and Streaming Recordings are not yet on their roadmap. I'm looking forward to considering these ideas so they can fully compete with the current market leaders in multistreaming.

It provides the basic needs for a multistream service. It does have 5 out of 7 servers. It has the top streaming solutions like Facebook Page/Group, YouTube, Vimeo, and others. While it lower compared to other competitors, it supports custom RTMP. You can also upgrade your plan to have more encoder input, which is very much important for companies that have multiple live streams, it helps eliminate managing different accounts. You can also create a workspace or "team" so you could put the team in one place limiting access to the other team's destination.

Features are very limited compared to competitors like Restream.io and Caster. It doesn't have unified chat, it doesn't have recordings, and no automated live streaming. You have to log in to SwitchBoard.live and manually select the destination and press "Go Live" in order to start sending streams to chosen destination. But the live stream automation is on their roadmap and they promised to deliver it on 2021.
