And it is not so expensive to use the premium plans. Pros It has a very good video player, the creators can sell their products on this software and it does not have ads. Cons The interface is not very intuitive and does not have a free plan, especially for some functions on Vimeo. It's necessary to subscribe to the premium plan to have more storage on uploads.

Digital and IT Manager Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ideal for those streaming with a Vimeo account" April 25, 2025 4.0 This software gave me a production switcher in software form, allowing a stream to be sent to pre-configured destinations (built as regular recurring events) in our Vimeo account and then embed these in our website. It was simple enough to use that 30 minutes of training was all our fitness instructors needed to be able to completely self-sufficiently operate the studio, start and finish their stream and live chat with participants during the stream of their class. Pros It saved having to purchase additional software as it came free with a Vimeo premium account and allows you to save pre-configured streaming destinations and templated configuration. Cons Occasional software crashes caused a bit of frustration and when an update was pending, skipping it seemed to result in more instability. Just allow time to check before a stream is meant to start that the latest update has been applied and can be rolled back if necessary. That only happened once but it did cause problems for viewers. Switched from [OBS Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/164144/OBS/) OBS is free which is great but with a Vimeo account and Vimeo Livestream included free there was no extra cost to switch to a package that let us pre-configure every regular event we delivered and know it was connecting with the embed location for that event on our website.

Worship Production Lead Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Expensive and CPU hungry" January 9, 2020 3.0 Pros I liked that you could stream live to livestream and then to other forums. Cons The higher rate you tried to stream at the more cpu it has to use and would often crash. Uploading videos after for people to watch proved very difficult and you are limited to 3GB.

Cons Overall little to complain about have been using the tool since 2019 and have found it only getting better overtime with all my historical complaints being dealt with over the years.

Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Vimeo Livestream for Churches" February 15, 2023 5.0 Overall, we have really enjoyed Vimeo Livestream. We have been using since COVID began since we had to go to only livestream services for a while. It is an easy program to use and after trying several different ones we landed on Vimeo. The streaming software is great, and the pushing out to multiple venues works well. Pros We really enjoy using Vimeo Livestream Studio 6 at our church for all of our live-streaming needs. We use it weekly to stream 3 different services and it is used completely by volunteers at this point. Once you set-up some templates for your events the rest of the set-up is pretty smooth. The pushing of graphics over the video is helpful for song lyrics and message slides. The ability to upload our own graphic templates for side by side video and slides is great as well! Cons The main thing that we do not like with Vimeo Livestream is that we have to import our images one by one. There is no drag and drop feature for multiple images etc... There is a work around where we can connect our main in house presentation computer to our livestream computer and use it as an input. We haven't don't that yet though. Alternatives considered [OBS Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/164144/OBS/) Reason for choosing Vimeo Livestream OBS took some getting used to and figuring out while Vimeo Livestream was intuitive and was easy to set up and teach volunteers. Review Source David C. Pastor for Creative Arts Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "safe, secure, and reliable" February 28, 2021 4.0 Overall, Vimeo Livestream has been our go-to service since COVID began for making our church services available to those still at home. We have used the embed feature and posted to FB and YouTube to increase our audience as well. Pros More secure than YouTube, with the ability to push to any other services we choose (including YouTube and Facebook). Reliable with little to no downtime experienced so far, with consistently good quality. Cons Difficult integration with LiveStream Studio 6 and vMix at times - and some clunkiness in setting up recurring live events in the archive options. Some frustrations in navigating other archived videos as well. Alternatives considered [Restream](https://www.capterra.com/p/184117/Restream/)[Meta for Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/213257/Facebook/) Reason for choosing Vimeo Livestream Vimeo Livestream allowed us to archive and store videos while still pushing them to all our other services.

Director of Marketing & Communications Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Vimeo Livestream is great platform for quaint audiences" October 13, 2022 5.0 My overall experience with Vimeo Livestream is very satisfying. When I started out as a content creator and marketer of other content creators, I found that Vimeo was affordable and met all of my needs. Pros Vimeo Livestream offers quite a bit for the price. However, to take full advantage of the best features offered, the user should purchase a more expensive subscription. Vimeo is very user-friendly and great for beginners are looking for a live-broadcasting other than Youtube or Patreon. The more expensive package includes customization abilities for all live-broadcasting needs of today's basic creators. Cons The only major cons I've really run into are the cost per upload, and the smaller audience size on Vimeo in comparison to more popular live-streaming platforms. Review Source Grace C. Founder/Professional Copywriter Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Hallelujah! A great resource for music managers" January 14, 2019 5.0 Very few complaints with this software, it is easy to use, easy to set up, and simple for an intern to do without much instruction. It can also be used on the road, which is vital. Pros I utilize this software as a music manager, for my clients. We often livestream concerts, demos, and songs for social media. It allows seamless integration to our social media platforms, and makes everything look more professional overall. My artists use it to stream to their fans, give shoutouts, or run giveaways when we need to. It also works directly with YouTube, which saves time and is much simpler for me, time-wise. My favorite feature is the watermark, which keeps our branded content all cohesive, and prevents issues with the wrong uploads being distributed. The analytics are nice, although not as comprehensive as I'd like, the info is fairly limited. Cons The lags occur, of course, when we don't have strong signals for connectivity, but I imagine that happens with most any online service. I would like better and more comprehensive analytics so we could present them to deciding members of the board, etc. Review Source Revanth S.

Broadcasts were seamless. Helped in getting more views. Pros The interface is quite user-friendly. At reasonable price, good quality streaming can be done, which is amazing. It takes just few minutes to setup and Live stream or broadcast. Cons More features could be helpful in analytics to get more insight about streams. More option to customize stream will be a great addition. Review Source Favio R. Project Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Out of the box platform for live streaming " August 1, 2022 4.0 One of the best and most complete platforms for live streaming. I liked it most of the time . Pros It has tons of features that lets your live stream become unique and adapt to any kind of company or campaign or event you’re trying to sell or show. Cons It’s a little difficult to use at the beginning if it’s your first time live streaming, but with Some practice your can manage to create great content.

Es una de las mejores plataformas que he probado. Cons puedes considerarla algo costosa, sin embargo, una vez te desenvuelves en la plataforma y aprendes a sacar provecho de todas las funciones te das cuenta que vale la pena la inversión.

Economics Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Another good option" July 8, 2021 5.0 Its a good option for everyone , easy to use but it's also very similar to others Pros Gives a lot of similar options that the competition also have Cons It is not very innovative. Has some new things but nothing surprising Review Source TM Tisunge M. Technologist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Video effectiveness" January 2, 2023 5.0 In a world with lots of options, video became a primary choice for its ease of use, very practical features and reasonable pricing. I would recommend another user highly, it's helpful. Pros I like vimeo most because it is a platform that I can use to my advantage as a content creator, there are many platforms yes, but being able to use one which is easy to use and has a free trial like vimeo is a privilege , the serives like editing, voice overs and video management are a plus as well. This software is helpful. Cons Despite of all its advantages, a few problems are available, there are other platforms that are entirely free, and some that offer similar services but at a lower price, as such one might question the money they are paying for the platform, which means vimeo must make sure their services are so good that it corresponds with the services they are offering. Despite them offering a free trial option but the amount of storage in that option is not enough and it discourages content creators. Review Source Guillermo H. Gerente Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excelente para programar teleconferencias" September 21, 2022 5.0 Es la solución ideal para transmitir conferencias masivamente, es un programa hecho para esto y la calidad es altisima. Pros Vimeo es una herramienta poderosa para gestionar vídeos, pero tambien puedes crear un enlace que luego usaras para hacer conferencias en vivo en tiempo real, así que si tienes tu web o un creador de landing page, cualquiera que sea puedes diseñarla y prepararla para transmitir en vivo con este enlace, a su vez tiene una funcionalidad muy buena que es poder lanzar tu producto con un botón de compra durante la conferencia. Cons Si es usado para hacer conferencias online, necesitarás de otros software de ayuda, no permite crear landing page, no permite enviar correos automatizados ni guardar datos de usuarios, si lo que quieres es esto, es mejor una plataforma como Webinar Jam. Pero si quieres guardar videos, y transmitir en alta calidad y ya tienes las otras herramientas, lo mejor es Vimeo Livestream Alternatives considered [YouTube](https://www.capterra.com/p/237905/YouTube/) Reason for choosing Vimeo Livestream Porque Videmo da mas calidad de transmisión y sus funcionalidades para vender productos y servicios esta mejor desarrollada.

Pros Easy to use, to set up events, track usage, etc. Excellent software package for streaming from a PC (Livestream Studio). Very flexible and dependable application. Good support, and the system is stable and dependable. We use it 24/7 from both the studio and for streaming from the field. Cons Really only one minor thing: The need to stop streaming for updates occasionally. (Frequently updated.) Review Source LL Linda L. Funeral Concierge Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Live Streaming Blessings!" October 16, 2018 5.0 My overall experience with LiveStream has been extremely good. Once in a while when I am not able to attend church, so I can log on follow along. Again, it keeps you updated and in sync with what is going on. Most of all it helps you realize that blessings are still attainable when you use LiveStream. Pros I love Live Streaming because I can log on to my church broadcast at anytime and get a real-time look at what is happening. All of our services and most events are accessible through LiveStream. Its convenient, its dependable and above all keeps you connected. Cons Maybe once in a while the "stream" will loose connection but, for the most part I have no complaints. I do wish there was better sound enhancement and it was offered on smart televisions. The one thing I hate about LiveStream is that you can get addicted and when that happens you find yourself watching church instead of going to church. Review Source BD Barry D.

Client Manager Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love/Hate Relationship with Vimeo" August 19, 2021 4.0 Our overall experience with Vimeo is good but not anything jaw dropping. We've used it for years to produce our livestream events and while clients complain about the capabilities on the backend, the overall experience isn't anything that pushes them away. Pros As an administer of Vimeo, we love the features and functionality that it provides us on the back end. Camera quality is pretty good, but heavily impacted by wifi capabilities as with most streaming platforms. We also love how we can customize the look and feel of our clients screens with overlays and lower thirds. Cons The delay between speaker shots and when the video is actually streamed always causes a bit of pain for our clients. If there was a way to make the image if yourself entirely disappear that may relieve some of the annoyances that our clients complain about. Review Source DM Danielle M.
