very nice work! if an event is paid (or not), can recordings be easily removed if the host does not want to make recordings available?

@passingnotes Yup, you can save the recording and delete the event if you don't want anyone to see the replay.
I've been a fan of Crowdcast since the start—it just works. Which is HIGH PRAISE for webinar software (since 99.99% don't work).
Thanks @pjrvs! Paul's been using Crowdcast to hold office hours for his online class, https://creativeclass.io/ (you should check it out!)
random q: any plans to integrate q&a with external platforms so that discussions can live on forever without the screen cast? thinking of stuff like discourse.org - though I also understand that questions sync to time stamps in the casts themselves
@passingnotes Not at the moment but that's certainly an intriguing idea. Because the Q&A is integrated with the video we can do some pretty innovative things with timestamping and sharing moments.
This looks great! What kind of file format is the video saved in and is it exportable?
I've had some trouble with GoToWebinar not exporting correctly (sometimes it never records!) and it records stuff in a terrible audio/video quality. Your product looks very promising :)
@samhouston the format is mp4 and it is exportable. Thanks! And let us know if you have any questions. We're always listening for feedback (email team@ anytime)
@samhouston It's recorded and saved as an MP4. You can export it manually and Crowdcast automatically lets anyone who showed up late see the recording.
@samhouston One of the benefits of having one fully integrated platform is the ability to timestamp and share specific questions. Here is an example: http://ccst.io/e/hacksummit-2014...
The first version was already so powerful, this new version looks incredible! Can't imagine using an other tool for our Webinars. Thank you guys!
Crowd streaming *sucked* before Crowdcast. I can't say enough how awesome it is that this just works.
Thanks @ed_roman! Ed ended up hosting the world's largest virtual conference on Crowdcast: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/hacks...
What Cy and team have done is such a big step forward for video broadcasting - streaming, webinars, etc. - and this latest version eliminates the few remaining headaches that the team hadn't already solved.
I've been using Crowdcast every week with @victormathieux to host an audience of meditators, and find it to be dead simple and exactly what I need.
After months of work, we’re very excited to share Crowdcast Pro with the community! We got fed up with crappy webinar software. Instead of building another webinar product, we asked ourselves how can we build an interactive virtual room for the modern internet. Our vision is to make gathering online dead simple – whether it is for teaching, training, sales, livestreams, etc. We would love your feedback, please join us for a LIVE Q&A @ http://ccst.io/e/crowdcast-ph
Thank you to one of our favorite users, @pjrvs, for hunting us! :)
I found Crowdcast through a friend a couple months ago and was impressed - the new features and capabilities with their new product really set it apart from everything else out there. It's by far the best option available across the board IMHO.
I started using Crowdcast about two months ago and keep being surprised by how amazing their founding team is. Whenever you have a question or challenge they answer super quickly with thoughtful responses. This level of service combined with a great product is hard to beat.
Like @pjrvs said above, great software "just works". It's advanced enough for power users but intuitive for everyone. I keep finding new uses for Crowdcast.
1-on-1 coaching client calls:
I want my coaching clients to not only get a video recording of our calls, but also all of the links and articles I send during the calls. My process used to be 1. fire up Skype 2. hopefully remember to click record with eCamm call recorder 3. host the call 4. after the call, upload to private YouTube (or send them the .mp4 in Dropbox) 5. all the links are just somewhere in our Skype history
With Crowdcast Pro, I invite my clients to a private Crowdcast. That's it. The platform auto-records the video (no GoogleHangouts delay) and all of the links are in chat.
If I want, I can even prompt clients with topics to discuss during our call using Crowdcast's "Questions" feature, which adds structure to the sessions.
And that's just an edge use case...it also works brilliantly for broadcast webinars. It's simple, well designed and it just works. And the team is responsive to suggestions and changes.
Huge fan.
Thanks @clayhebert! If you ever wanted to learn anything about crowdfunding, Clay is your guy. Here are all of his upcoming and past Crowdcasts: https://www.crowdcast.io/clayhebert
The product is very easy to use, no comment on that part, however, the support is very slow. That's my only issue.
This is so awesome!! One question: what happens when we pass 10 events per month?
@yonidejene We have custom plans if you would like to do more that 10 events per month & whitelisting is on the roadmap :)
I've been using Crowdcast for every live chat or webinar I do for a while now, it's a great product.
Thanks @sachagreif for being one of our earliest guinea pig! It's sure come a long way. :)
honestly the only service that's worthwhile for multiparty streaming. saved me multiple times!
