Overview

Description	Switchboard Live is a live video streaming solution that makes it possible for users to stream live videos on multiple platforms simultaneously. Brands and content creators can take a video live on multiple platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, Periscope, Custom RTMP destinations, etc. This enables them to customize their streams and broadcast them on platforms that do not allow enough customization and lack options to add multiple persons in a live video. The software allows the host to add the brand logo, watermark, overlays, etc. Users do not need to invite people on one platform to join the stream on the other. Switchboard Live enables each platform to push its own notification for the live stream, thus informing all the user bases of different platforms at once and without any hassle. The best part is that broadcasting on multiple platforms will not consume a hefty bandwidth. Instead, the user just sends a copy of his stream to Switchboard Live, and the software itself leverages its powerful infrastructure to distribute it over all the platforms. This saves all the bandwidth without compromising with the streams’ quality. Read more	vMix is a comprehensive live streaming and video production software.
