Joshua: My name is Joshua. I am the Tech Director at a church called Grace Community Fellowship in Georgia. I rate Castr five stars. We use Castr every week to broadcast our Sunday morning services. We bring everything in through OBS and push it out to Castr, which then pushes it out to all the social media platforms and YouTube. At our church, we have very limited internet bandwidth, so one of the best things about Castr is that we only have to push out one stream, and Castr does the work to push the streams out to every other platform. We've actually been able to grow our audience because we can stream to our main platform, which is YouTube, but then we can hit some of the other social media platforms like Facebook is another big one for us. Those are the big... main reason we love using it. There is really nothing that we have found that we dislike about Castr. Their pricing is fantastic. Their services are great. Everything else that we have run into has just been top-notch with them. We have nothing to complain about.

Kimberly E.: Hello, my name is Kimberly. I am an owner of my company. I give Videolinq a four. And click below for more reviews. Before I had Videolinq, I literally had to take the time to go to each social media site and on my website to make the video perform on the different social media networks. And that would take time doing the same loading on Facebook, on Twitter, and on my website. And I wasn't able to do it on a few other platforms with like LinkedIn, which now I can. But it was a gruel. It was time consuming and Videolinq stopped all of that. I chose Videolinq because I like using social media to market my videos. And I wasn't able to do that in a cost effective way prior to Videolinq. So I use the software to have a one-stop location for presenting my videos to the community that I market to. So they have lots of integrations and I use those integrations, including YouTube now, to utilize my videos in a best performance manner in those social media settings. And on my website. Originally, when I used Videolinq, I thought it would take a long time and it was a little cumbersome in that I didn't have the background to know what a lot of the features and terminology was, but I got up to speed very quickly. It has an awesome onboarding service. I can look at videos or I can read the text and it has really good integrations with other social media sites, which also have their own versions of how to interact with third party software. So I literally initially got started within an hour, but that was just with one social media setup. And that was back when they had a few, maybe one or two, social media integrations, and now I've used it recently and they have YouTube, LinkedIn, with Facebook and Twitter. So it was much easier to do it this time because of course the more they have integrated, the more understanding everything is. So, yeah. It was pretty good with the onboarding process. I would definitely recommend Videolinq for those of you who have videos, who you would like to market in multiple channels, and you don't have to be tech savvy. It's really an easy onboarding process. The customer service is outstanding. They're always asking questions. So if you need a hand and to get a handle on your marketing for your videos, you definitely want Videolinq. You want them for their customer service, for the ease, and for the integrations. Because let's face it, we all have more than one media site.
