How To Choose The Right Webcast Provider
Introduction
There are a lot of different factors that go into choosing the right webcast provider. Consider cost, but you also need to consider reliability and support. What about user experience? How does the quality of streams stack up against other providers? You can't just choose the cheapest option—you have to do your homework!
Cost
What is the total cost of ownership?
How much does it cost to get started?
How much will you pay per lead?
How much will you pay per viewer?
Reliability
Reliability is a significant factor when choosing webcast providers. If you're hosting an event that requires registration or payment, it's crucial to ensure that your site will be up and running when users need it to be.
Look for a company with a good track record of uptime and few outages.
Ask about their Downtime Statistics: How often does the service go down?
What's Their Uptime Percentage? This is generally measured in the percentage of time that the system is available, i.e., how long do they stay up every day?
Support
One of the most important factors when choosing a webcast is their support. Support is critical because it can make or break your event. The ability to get in touch with someone who can help you with any problems you have, and respond to your questions quickly, is crucial for ensuring that your webcast runs smoothly.
Support should be available 24/7—this way, no matter when an issue needs resolving, they'll be there for you! They should also be responsive to resolve concerns quickly; if they take too long to reply, it may mean they're busy or not knowledgeable enough about what they're doing (or both). Finally, ensure that whoever is providing support has the necessary knowledge required for setting up and running everything correctly so as not to cause additional stress on top of the other problems already faced by attendees or presenters alike.
User Experience (UX)
User experience (UX) is the sum of all a user's interactions with your product or service. It goes way beyond just the user interface (UI). To get a good UX, you need to consider everything from ease of use in registration and payment to video and sound quality during your webcast.
Many different factors affect a person's overall satisfaction when they use an app or website, but there are five specific areas where most websites have room for improvement:
Content design
Navigation
Visual design/usability
Branding/experience consistency
Quality of Streams
When choosing webcast service providers, it's essential to pay attention to the quality of their streams. A webcast should be clear and high-quality, without any dropped frames or pixilation.
In addition to streaming the event live, you should consider what downloads will be available for on-demand viewing. Most providers offer multiple qualities for these downloads so that attendees can choose which works best for them (i.e., mobile users may prefer a lower resolution).
What Other People Are Using.
You can also look for an online meeting provider that is popular and has a good reputation. This will help you find a webcast provider that has been around for years, knows the industry well, and has many satisfied customers.
Another way to find out which webcast providers are worth considering is by asking other people who have used them. Ask them what they liked or disliked about their experience with the company.
Don't just go with the cheapest option.
While many good webcast providers offer low-cost solutions, it is essential to remember that you get what you pay for. Nonetheless, choosing a provider who shows too much at a low cost can bite you unexpectedly if your needs grow or change over time. To avoid paying more than necessary, finding a balance between price and quality is essential.
Conclusion
Webcast providers are a dime a dozen. Choosing the right one for you is an overwhelming task, but we hope this article will make it easier. We've broken down the most important factors to consider when choosing a webcast service and given some tips on how to find the right one for your needs.
