Be.Live Reviews

Pros

The interface is clean and has all necessary features in it. Camera settings were easy to setup. Inviting people or guests was easy. We can show images, audio or pre-recorded video, YouTube video, Facebook and more. While streaming, links can be shared which was very helpful to get leads.

Cons

Streaming in more platforms would be great, if they introduce. I had a few bugs while streaming due to which screen freezed, it happened just few times.

Pros

I loved how easy it was being a online browser platform it was easy to connect to Facebook and eventually YouTube

Cons

I had issues with the software it would drop after A minute or so or say there was an error connecting I subsequently found out that it did not like the PNG images that I was posting for the event and I could only post JPG images. But there were still some times when I would go through a whole show and it wouldn’t show up or be streamed as I expected it to be.

Reasons for Switching to Be.Live

Pros

The first streaming application I used was Be.Live. It was simple for me to connect it to Facebook, give links to my visitors, and bring them onto the screen. When I first started live streaming, this programme never gave me any problems. Furthermore, it is comparatively more affordable when compared to other applications.

Cons

Two features would be great: first, it would be nice to be able to broadcast to Instagram. second, seeing Facebook users' names directly would be preferable.

Pros

I love the multi-streaming feature. There are software out there that does multi-streaming only, and the fact that Be.Live incorporates this makes it so easy for me to live stream across my FB Group and my FB Page (for now).

I also like the on-screen agenda feature, it makes the whole live stream look very professional and put-together.

Lastly, I especially like the Guest/Interview feature, because that's an extra on other softwares that you have to pay for. I would completely recommend Be.Live for beginners... so many things are preset and ready to go!

Cons

It's not as customizable as other live-streaming softwares, and there isn't a saving feature of TRUE preset templates of various different screen setups.

I would have loved to hop from one preset to another preset seamlessly. For example, if I were to show a video after my live stream of myself, I will have to Hide the live camera recording of myself first, before clicking on the "Show in Steam" button to show the video. If I showed both live camera and video, they would appear side by side in a split screen, which is not what I want.

And if I had my branding or my On Screen Agenda on, I would have to disable both or they would block the video.

Pros

I love being able to stream to Facebook and YouTube at the same time. The graphics look nice. It's easy to switch between views and show images and agendas on screen.

Cons

It's glitchy. I'm having trouble getting my live streams to show up in YouTube Creator Studio.

Pros

Be.Live is a great way to plan your communication strategy, marketing and public relations.

Cons

Offers very few features. It is less flexible than the competitors.

Pros

Be.Live was the first streaming software I used. I was able to connect it to Facebook, send guest speaker links, and bring my guests onscreen easily. I was just beginning to live stream and this software never gave me any issues.

Cons

I didn't love the branding on the broadcast and I would have had to purchase a subscription that was out of my budget to remove the Be.Live branding.

Pros

It’s easy to use and it works pretty well.

Cons

They only offered the Appsumo deal to new users. Their limits to how many channels you can stream to at one time.

Pros

The simulcasting to Facebook and YouTube is amazing! We love the split-screen feature so the words to the worship songs can be on one side and the worship minister is on the other. When our minister is speaking, we use the split-screen to show his message notes.

Cons

I soooooooooo wish that we could move around the tiles in the staging area once they have been uploaded. Often, we upload and mistakingly leave something out and have to go back and delete items to make sure it's in order. We often have 30-35 tiles in the staging area and it's frustrating when we miss something. It would also be really nice if it uploaded with the file name. I like that we can type it in but when we have multiple services with 10-12 minutes sometimes to reload between services, I don't have time to title each tile. And they're so small it is sometimes hard to see the type on the tiles to make sure I'm putting up the right notes at the right part of the message.

Reasons for Switching to Be.Live

Pros

I go live each week with guests on my interview show Let's Get Writing and Be.Live offers an easy but professional-looking platform for my broadcasts. I host an interview show and use the split-screen, media uploads, titles, crawlers and viewer comments (love these). It's easy to integrate while I'm hosting my shows and the end result is very professional and clean. I need a simple program that meets these needs and Be.live does this very well.

Cons

I wish it could stream to Instagram. I'd also like to integrate short video clips, and I'm unsure if it can do this. I upload photos but haven't been able to upload video clips. I also tried to use the assistant feature at one point and it didn't work well.

Pros

That you can stream 1080p and record while streaming, bring comments on the screen. Is easy to one on one meeting !

Cons

The cons could be when you do not have the highest plan then the video recorded are not clear!!

Pros

I really like the multi stream feature, the scheduling and the ability to interact with our audience for each stream. I also REALLY appreciate having the ability to download the video and audio for our own personal library.

Cons

Two things that jump out is that it would be nice to be able to assign a moderator for the comments. To set up a staff that just handles showing comments and responding so that presenters can focus on presenting... second thing would be nice to have is the ability to manually arrange camera position when there is just one camera on top of imported media... sometimes the position interferes with presentation/image content.

Pros

It was easy to use, browser-based (no need to download extra software, etc) and the customer service has been outstanding.

Cons

I would like more options for customizing the broadcast with branding or adding slides etc. I'd also like to see the option to have more than 4 people on screen at a time but it certainly isn't a deal breaker.

Pros

I love being able to pull people in and out of the stream and push the event to multiple facebook pages.

Cons

Occasionally, there were glitches (earlier on, seems like they're resolved now) where I would pull people into the stream and all I could see was a blue screen and not their camera feed. That was problematic on a few broadcasts.

Pros

I love that you can highlight a person's comment when you are answering them. I think the customer likes it too.

Cons

Scheduling is not very intuitive. I've mentioned it before but it hasn't been improved much.

Pros

Multiple screen splitting, translation, recording, social media integration.

Cons

Limitations on free subscription is the only part of its cons for now.

Pros

Very easy to setup.

Low CPU usage as it is in the cloud.

Able to interact with several guests at the same time on screen.

Cons

My guests aren’t able to share their screen on the package that so have which means I always have to “drive” the interview.

Pros

It's easy to use, easy to customize and easy to set up on screen captures, logos, branding, display of comments etc.

Cons

The transitions between the different scenes / cameras/ media are not as smooth as possible and can be done better.

Look very designed. Many options, and improving well.

Pros

easy to understand and use, and manage the features, I really like it, but some time facebook did not allow it

Cons

Multiple streaming platforms and scheduling

Cons

The Price and only two streaming platforms

Pros

The software is easy to use, I can post my videos quickly and professionally. I also like the fact that you are adding new products, features, and options for the videos. Backgrounds and additional layers.

Cons

It took me a little time to figure out my computer, and match what needed to be synced up to match what Be.Live needed. Your tutorials are a great way to review any issues I had!

Pros

Easy to use. Not without its glitches but the team listen to feedback and help as
Much as they can

Cons

Few occasional glitches and the Facebook algorithm that cuts broadcasts
