    Kaltura
    Streaming Live content Organisation of content Selling content Authentication Containerisation Its good for receiving files into drop folders where clients can access to have it picked up by one of eight batch processes. We have the software, installed across 8 instances. This then extracts the media and pushes it through the Newrow, from Kaltura transcoding which will give us different flavours of video output files. It isn't very good for upscaling and really needs dedicated resource. It also doesn't upscale content.

    Livestorm is well suited to use when you need to reach a group of more than ten people. It wouldn't be a good solution if you wanted interaction from the audience in more than the form of chat.

    Making sure the permission settings for your camera, microphone or browser can sometimes be tricky. If we have a guest, we always have to double-check these. It's also not super intuitive that you need to "Get on Stage" from the webinar page.

    The customer service representatives are extremely attentive. They do an excellent job of trying to understand the scope of the issue and follow it through until it has been resolved. When I have provided them with recommendations for improvement they have taken them to heart and many times implemented them. I trust that if I ever have a problem they will be there to help
