Livestream is the most powerful Live and Linear (24/7) online video broadcast platform. Go live in minutes with flexible, industry-leading tools and a rock-solid, scalable platform trusted by over 300,000 registered producers.

Overview

Producers choose from an array of FREE and industry-leading tools to broadcast from a DV cam or webcam, using the Livestream Webcaster (instant, simple web-based broadcasts), Livestream Procaster (one-click, high quality streaming from your desktop, including games and presentations), or Livestream Studio (advanced control center to manage all of your production needs). Using our Brightcove player template, you can stream your live and linear broadcasts directly to your existing Brightcove player.

The Livestream platform is available in two forms: either as Livestream FREE, an advertising-supported service, or as Livestream Premium, a paid service that gives producers advanced features (remove ads, high quality, widescreen, white label, privacy options, etc.) starting at $350 per month.

Both Free and Premium plans offer unique features including server-side recording, the ability to mix multiple live cameras, import videos clips for linear broadcasts, twitter integration, real-time chat integration, high-quality production graphics and tools (including ticker, logo bug, lower third, straps, etc.), and much more.

Our partnership with Brightcove allows you to leverage all of the industry-leading live and linear broadcast features that Livestream provides, while continuing to use Brightcove’s industry-leading player, asset management, and analytics.
