LIVESTREAM DEALS (Wirecast 11)

Andrew Haley talks about the new features for live streaming and live video production in Wirecast 11.

Welcome to the Livestream Deals podcast recorded live at VidSummit 2018 in Los Angeles. Ross Brand of Livestream Universe talks with #WirecastLive host Andrew Haley about the new features and upgrades coming to the latest version of Wirecast, the leading live video production and streaming software. Andrew serves as Telestream's Product Marketing Manager and Live Streaming Product Evangelist. He hosts #WirecastLive at 5:30pm ET, Thursdays on the Telestream Wirecast Facebook page.

If you want to improve the quality of your broadcasts, stand out from the crowd, brand your livestreams with your own colors and logos, and have total control of the content you are creating, Wirecast is the best software option. I use it almost daily and not only for livestreaming. The exceptional scene/shot creation, switching and recording capabilities enable me to produce high-quality recorded videos and cut down on post-production time in the process.
