Has anybody used Livestream or UStream on Facebook? (6 posts)

  • I am hanging in between two of this most popular streaming apps on FB, i have to choose one of them but don’t know which one is better. The event i am going to stream is a small medical camp. If anyone of you have used anyone of this app, share your experience here, it will help others to choose from :)

  • I had used the both, it’s not really a big diference here :) If this will help with your decision facebook team use livestream ;)

  • I’m new to both applications.  Stupid question…what have you used either of these applications for?

  • No stupid question here, @gregorybuford.  They are both used for hosting a live video right on your Facebook Page.  It’s really fun for your audience and gets shared.  Just let everyone know that you will be hosting a live event at a certain time and people will come to your page!  Both of them have chat features as well for questions.

  • Hi, hope this is the place to ask this question.
    I use Ustream on a client’s fanpage to stream live right on facebook. The only problem is it seems to go to the personal profile page to stream instead of from the fan page. Have I set up something wrong?
    Thanks in advance

  • We have used Livestream to stream four of our “Science on Saturday” lectures that we hold in a big auditorium. The streaming quality was excellent. On the other hand, I found their back end was needlessly complicated and non-intuitive. I had to call their support folks, and got excellent results.

    I still don’t like the way the results show up on our FB page, but see for yourself:
