Engagement and Programming Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "People Pray via Livestream" February 27, 2024 5.0 Pros The customer service for the production team is stellar. Not only do they check to see if the encoder is online every week they contact me directly to make sure it is fixed if needed. They've been able to resolve any last minute changes to my streams and have called me mid-service if there is a problem. The newly added security features are a plus! As a Jewish organization, the extra options adde dlast August/September have been vital to keeping unwanted folks out of our chats. Cons Adding extra individual streams after you've used your contracted number shouldn't be more expensive than the per stream cost in your contract. Review Source TC Tom C. Property Committee Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Community Church GR " March 1, 2025 5.0 Nothing but positive. Our needs were only 2 cameras used on Sundays and we were never treated as a minor customer Pros The customer service and ease of use. They did our church streaming setup and managed it all remotely. Any questions or concerns we had were quickly addressed. Cons We really have no negative comments. We would still be using them, but needed to cut costs with attendance down.

Pros It is easy to schedule and I trust that something will be filmed Cons I wish the camera operators were better. Reason for choosing LiveControl I wanted to have a system that I could trust someone else to run. It’s fine, but I expected great. Review Source GC Gabrielle C. Cantor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Bring your broadcasting to the next level" August 4, 2021 4.0 I think it’s been very positive and it’s a good company. We’ve had some growing pains as they’ve been growing as well but it’s still very much worth it. I do think the camera operators are sometimes a bit out to lunch and they could do a better job. Pros If you’ve been using stationary live control camera at this point it’s going to basically look like a security camera when you moved to this company the quality and the interactivity is really incomparable. There’s lots of things to work out with sound and lighting but they do try very hard and they’re always available as you fix things and get your broadcast better and better. Cons Last week we really had a challenge because I mistakenly set the broadcast to begin at 5 PM the operators called us because nobody was in the sanctuary until 6 PM so they stopped the feed and and restarted at 6 unfortunately there was some sort of bug monitor in the system and it prevented our feed on our browser from being live and was very very hard for our elderly people you do not belong to social media to watch it on a different platform that night. I called him during the service to try to rectify it as people were calling me. Reason for choosing LiveControl We didn’t look at anything else Review Source AJ Arthur J. Senior Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Live Control Review" August 17, 2021 5.0 Live Control has helped take our church live stream to a much higher level. This was very critical to our success in a post-COVID world as we were not streaming prior to the pandemic but improved with Live Control within months after streaming. The screen share feature and multiple camera angles have led to a more engaged audience. Pros This product is easy to use once installed and training took place. I like the simplicity of the dashboard, screen share feature, and the multi-camera features the most! Cons Overall the software worked well with our existing processes and products The one change I would recommend is making it easier to merge with the Subsplash Live platform. Reason for choosing LiveControl If there were optional products that are exactly like Live Control, I would choose LiveControl because of their friendly and responsive staff and the fact that I am able to speak with a "live" person during events and when problems arise makes a huge difference!

Lead Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The product is as-advertised, but the customer service is exceptional" August 5, 2021 5.0 It has been an excellent experience that exceeded our expectations. We are new to this type of system, and did not know what to expect, but it has been pleasant and efficient. Pros When we decided to contract with liveControl, their set up team made it extremely easy to install and integrate all of the equipment. They worked with us throughout the process to make sure we had the right camera angles, lighting, etc. to make the broadcast as professional looking as possible. They have continued to have our back, Like when our Internet glitched in the middle of the night, they contacted us immediately to make sure that we could get back online ASAP Cons One major feature that is missing is the ability to use a custom thumbnail on the web player for each recording. The system uses whatever happened to be in front of the camera at the moment it went live as its thumbnail, and it makes it very difficult to make sense of the archived recordings. I am not a programmer, but it seems like that would be a very easy feature to add, and it would add a lot to the ease of use for the end-user. Reason for choosing LiveControl Primarily, it was customer service. From my very first phone call, the staff was more than willing to make sure all of my questions were answered, and that I felt comfortable. Many of the other products that I inquired about, did not have the same level of service. Since I am not the tech person for our organization, I needed someone to speak to me in plain language. Life control did that. Review Source MC Mitch C. Cantor / Choir Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Professional hands off immersive experience" August 12, 2021 5.0 Pros Live Control offers us the ability to keep our Shabbat rules. We can stay hands off on Shabbat. All we have to do is schedule the service ahead of time and the professional camera operators at Live Control do the rest. Live Control worked with us to install 4 cameras in our sanctuary. Their new software supports using all of our cameras and offers congregants at home an immersive experience. They have been great to work to help us customize our solution and work out any tweaks along the way. Cons The pricing is increasing, so it may be more difficult for us to use produced services as regularly. Reason for choosing LiveControl Mainly because we didn't need to hire onsite camera operators and figure out how to purchase an OBS workstation on our own. Keeping Shabbat rules was also a major factor. Review Source RBC Rev. Bismarck C. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review" August 9, 2021 4.0 Customer service its outstanding. Livestreaming not so much. I am very disappointed with the weekly livestream. For special event, they have been outstanding. I wish they did not have to assign different operators every weekend. Pros convenience of not having to depend on a volunteer or have to hire someone to run the cameras Cons I still had to have a volunteer run the graphics Change of operators at every event does not allow for improvement on livestream Not having an assigned operator/s does not allow for improvement. Its like teaching every operator how the order of the service. this system its supposed to be less work for me but it has become more work for me. I feel frustrated with the changing of operators not knowing the flow of the service. We've been with LiveControl since March and still the operator does not know when to switch to the lector, operator does show creativity, our building has beautiful stained glass windows they hardly ever show. I've instructed many times to be creative and NOTHING. I've been instructed to write an outline, but do I have to write an outline every weekend? I do understand when we have special events, fine but not for every Sunday service. Reason for choosing LiveControl it seemed like a good concept, maybe it is for Mega churches, but not for Catholic churches. Review Source DK Daniel K. Volunteer Technical Leader Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Live Control enables High Quality With Minimum Resources" August 9, 2021 5.0 I have 35 years of professional technology experience. I have been very impressed with the technical support at every interaction. LC provides excellent people available in all time zones who do not guess at issues or problems. They always inspect their considerable technical data on our configuration performance and are very eager to satisfy our needs and interests. Live Control makes a very complex product very reasonable to use. Pros Quality productions w/o hiring people and invading sacred sanctuary space with distractions with very reasonable and fair pricing. Te ability to schedule static events with minimum notice and no extra charge has been invaluable to support practice, experimentation and last-minute needs. Cons Contacting support during a streamed event is via phone with no console chat. We would like a way to enable prearranged live external interaction with the stream, such as remote guest talking with someone at our lectern. Reason for choosing LiveControl Our experiences with Zoom proved that it requires much higher effort and produce much lower quality with inconsistent results. Review Source TH Truman H. Funeral Director Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "User friendly and a quality product" February 14, 2024 5.0 Pros I love the ease of scheduling the events. You set the date/time and LiveControl takes it from there. Cons There isn't really anything I can think of. Price would be something, we pass the cost on to our families, if we can save them some that is always a plus, but I think it is fair. Reason for choosing LiveControl The fact that someone else is behind the camera, so our staff can focus on the funeral. Review Source PK Paul K. Rabbi Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Singular solution for the live-streaming synagogue or church" November 13, 2020 5.0 We don’t have the time, personnel or funds to dedicate to live-streaming which is becoming and shall remain a critical element of our worship and learning modalities. Livecontrol makes it possible for us to look like pros. And my colleagues in huge synagogues say that Livecontrol scales up easily and at the right price point to service large bigger budget productions too. Pros Livecontrol saved the High Holy Days this year (and all our services before and since!). The moving cameras, energizing visuals, ease of use, customizable and scaleable features, and the top notch customer service are perfect for both neophytes and the experienced streaming organizations alike. Cons That when I didn’t know how to do something, I didn’t think to contact them earlier. Five minutes with their responsive customer service solved my problem. Review Source BV Benjamin V. creative director Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Exactly what we needed" August 3, 2021 5.0 We are a synagogue and needed to start livestreaming services at a higher quality than we were doing with a single, un-operated camera prior to the pandemic. Livecontrol provides exactly that service at an affordable price. It is much easier on us than having to find a person to come in as needed and operate our camera internally. Pros Customer service has been excellent. Having someone remotely operate 2 cameras works well for us and meets our needs. Multi-streaming to youtube and facebook, as well as any other RTMP server also works well. The hardware provided is very good quality. Cons There are a few things about the scheduler that could be improved. We also have some issues with the instructions for the camera operator not being followed exactly, but I think it comes down to managing expectations rather than demanding more. For what it is, the overall product is great. Reason for choosing LiveControl they are the only option out there right now for this exact purpose. other real alternative was to have someone on-site running our camera, which isn't a viable long-term solution for an organization like ours. Review Source LL Lisabeth L. Executive Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Does what we need and great customer service" February 14, 2024 5.0 Very positive. Easy to use and great responsiveness if we have issues. Pros LiveControl is easy to use, set up and implement. The customer service is great. Cons We really have no complaints. It totally does what we need. Review Source AC Andrea C. Senior Rabbi Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I am a customer for life!" August 13, 2021 5.0 I think this is an excellent company, attentive to detail, great overall quality product. Can't say enough about how good they are! Pros Excellent customer service, easy to use, wonderful product Cons I can't use my own homemade overlays. I have to use Propresenter7 and the learning curve is steep. Review Source PB Phillip B. Senior Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Product Review" August 9, 2021 5.0 Pros The ease of installation and testing of the equipment was very important. The quality of the video is awesome. Cons The deadline to change or modify the type of streaming is somewhat tiht. Being a limited organization is size, I have a small amount of people, doing a lot of work. So in the beginning making a decision by Friday at 9am for my Sunday service, I missed the cut off time. However, I was able to see how I can schedule these events in advance to eliminate those possibilites in the future. Review Source EB Erin B. Rabbi Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Live Control is GREAT!!!" August 3, 2021 5.0 Pros Customer Service User Friendly Great quality Cons While the price is very good, the graphics capability is not as easy to manage. Review Source JV John V. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Live Control - A great product" November 28, 2020 5.0 It was the easiest tech product that I've ever had to set up. Pros I like how easy it is to use. Most churches spend a lot of their time on video production for live streaming and little time on engaging the congregation. Live Control helps you to not have to spend a lot of time, money or worry on getting your services online so you can focus your efforts on engaging and pastoring the people God has sent you. Cons I would like to see live integration with ProPresenter which I'm told will be released very soon. Review Source Similar Products Featured
