Pros

  • It's incredibly user-friendly and reasonably priced. It's really easy to establish up and gives us a wonderful opportunity to interact.

  • The ease with which I can design chatbot flows is what I like best about ManyChat. The visual statistics of it are something else I adore.

  • My overall experience fantastic. Manychat dominate and establish itself in the market for advanced features, as integrations and templates.

  • It is specifically useful for broadcast content gods and streamers the one want to increase a professional touch to their broadcasts.

Cons

  • The effects and accessories are not sized correctly and therefore some are useless.

  • Loss of functionality with Zoom - a deal-breaker.

  • I work in ed tech and many in our field recommended ManyCam over OBS, but that is changing with their lack of updates in 2023.

  • Unfriendly user interface, broadcasting problems, sound problems with either echoes or no sound, connectivity issues.

"A Phenomenal And Best Chatbot platform"

Overall: We are working with a product that handles a lot of things. My overall experience fantastic. Manychat dominate and establish itself in the market for advanced features, as integrations and templates. I also increase my traffic and interactions in my Social Networks page, till now i am very satisfied. I advise everyone to use this platform.

Pros: The ease with which I can design chatbot flows is what I like best about ManyChat. The visual statistics of it are something else I adore.

Cons: They have a fantastic and helpful customer support crew. It is also reasonably priced.

Reasons for Switching to ManyCam: Because it is an excellent tool for creating numerous original chatbots, which I need for my projects involving Facebook pages and websites. They have affordable packages for professional use, but I also use the free options for straightforward projects.

"An online classroom necessity."

Overall: It helped me a lot in my work, however, I feel like the customer service could be a lot better.

Pros: The software is intuitive and easy to use, and the setup is very natural.I used this software every day for about 2 years of teaching English online, my students loved it, and I used gifs and png files as a replacement for props, which saved me a lot of money overall.The app has many borders and things that are built-in, and those are very interesting for young children.

Cons: Once I upgraded to windows 11 the software simply stopped working for me in my classroom, I tried reinstalling I tried contacting support and nobody helped me fix my issues, so as I was approaching the end of my yearly plan I stopped using the app.

Alternatives Considered: OBS Studio
Reasons for Choosing ManyCam: Ease of use.

"ManyCam led the field in screen-sharing but fell off track"

Overall: This is a top-notch software that used to be worth the price but has lacked ongoing support and updates. I work in ed tech and many in our field recommended ManyCam over OBS, but that is changing with their lack of updates in 2023. Video with Zoom lags and freezes since February 2023 on Zoom app for M1 Macs (all newer ones). Customer support was slow and unhelpful to resolve the problem nor will refund if the software stops working. After enjoying Manycam for years, I'll prob go to OBS.

Pros: Great capacity for custom screen-sharing. You can preset different screen options and easily switch while live, engaging your audience. Screen overlays were well designed also. Cameras are easy to connect.

Cons: Loss of functionality with Zoom - a deal-breaker. Mild complaints about ease of activating screen overlays - they work nicely but are small and a bit unintuitive to find on the dash.

Pros: Manycam allows me to present while live-streaming with augmented features that enhance my effectiveness, including virtual backgrounds, overlays, and screen sharing.

"Should you use Many Cam ?"

Overall: Overall ManyCam is one of the best ways to live-stream any needed content/screen/camera. It is a very convenient and user-friendly app. My college recommends it and as a student, I use it regularly in order to share my screen and camera during exams. I hadn't had any issues during the screen-sharing and I think that is the most important thing. If you need this kind of app I suggest you definitely give ManyCam a try, you won't be disappointed. This app is free, which is amazing for the service it gives, but if you need to share more than 2 screens you will have to pay for an upgrade.

Pros: Many Cam offers great service and it is exactly what you should download if you are in need of go-to live streaming software. In my experience, I think it's one of the best out there. You choose which screens and cameras to share from multiple devices very quickly and comfortably. One of the reasons for the ease of the process is the great design and all the options/tools are very efficiently placed in the app. The best thing is that is free and you can start using it immediately. The free version has a limit of 2 screens, but that is all I ever needed.

Cons: The screen sharing is amazing, but sometimes the app interferes with the actual camera of the PC. For example, when you are using the SEB (Safe Exam Browser) and want to share your PC camera, ManyCam doesn't allow it. You have to disable the app first in order to execute the process. Also sometimes it shows a blank screen while sharing, but you can fix it easily by restarting the computer. These are the only downsides for me and I hope that they are noticing them and will fix them in the near future.

"Stay Away! Waste of Time & Money"

Overall: Worst experience ever. I emailed customer support multiple times and I always got a canned answer. They were completely unhelpful and referred me to themselves to you get a refund. I called the corporate office and left multiple messages and no one ever bothered to return my messages. I wasted my time and money and lost business because of this terrible software.

Pros: Nothing, unfriendly user interface, broadcasting problems, sound problems with either echoes or no sound, connectivity issues…

Cons: Unfriendly user interface, broadcasting problems, sound problems with either echoes or no sound, connectivity issues…
