Live Video Streaming Recommendations
I’m finally taking the plunge and getting into live video! I’ll primarily be using this medium to provide technical support online, and I’m looking for an online video service to use. I know of a whole lot of them there, and a personal recommendation would be appreciated.
My primary needs are:
- Extreme bandwidth efficiency, as I’m on a pretty slow ADSL connection
- Ability to broadcast without recording: who cares about archives of me just sitting and staring at the screen?
- I’d also like to add pre-recorded video AND audio into the stream
- Integrated chatting service
- Ability to customize player with own branding
- Would be great if the service can also toast bread and do the laundry, but that’s not an absolute necessity
Please post your recommendations in the comment form on this post, or (better) via Twitter @GeorgeAppiah — either way, don’t forget to add what makes you swear by the service you’re recommending.
