I have used Melon mainly for meetings with clients, I will soon start recording my podcast here too. Melon has been an amazing tool.

Pros

Easiness to use
Many features to personalize your streams
One-click invitation and fixed invitation link (great if you have recurring meetings with the same person)

Cons

It is not so intuitive, even basic options sometimes could be a little confusing.

Response from Logitech

Hello Miguel and thank you for your feedback!
We appreciate you bringing up the intuitive side of the question and we recently made a change in studio settings to make it even easier - but will definitely keep working on more improvements down the road. Thank you for choosing us!

Solved almost all of our needs with decent price and feature set. So many solutions are over produced for our needs. Not looking for switcher/production software. Just a solid stream to multiple social media platforms. Melon is a solid compromise of simple and solid

Pros

Easily to set up and volunteer friendly. Stream to FB and YouTube simultaneously. Uses cloud computing and reduces computer cpu load

Cons

Makes me nervous it’s browser based instead of an app. Wish it provided stream health info and had audio metering apart from the audio menu

It's allowed me to stream from a laptop I thought was too end to stream with and I had almost given up finding such a product when I finally found Melon.

Pros

It was hard to find streaming software that worked on my chromebook without excess pixelization. This seems to work on my low end Chromebook when combined with GFN or a capture card.

Cons

Even though it's a streamlabs product the chatbot integration isn't great and requires you to go to another website.

Alternatives Considered

Melon didn't pixelate the way others did.

Response from Logitech

Hello Peter!
thank you for your detailed review, we are so glad it works fine on your Chromebook!

Regarding chatbot integration, it is required to set on Streamlabs site but once set - you can use it without interruptions on Melon end.

Hope you keep using us for your streams and please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any help setting things up.

Melon STOLE X-mas from Thousands of Less Fortunate People due to HORRIFIC customer service!

i'm so sad right now considering my intentions of positivity and joy. I've even tried to learn OBS but due to my commitment at the hospital, I just don't have time. X-mas is three days away - I check my email like a child looking for santa - just to be greeted with NO RESOLUTION.

Pros

when i'm able to access my account, i absolutely love the software. I find it convenient and very simple to use. It's also good for the price.

Cons

this is ABSOLUTELY the worse customer service I've experienced in all of my purchases of software and my entire office is literally automated! I've never actually SEEN a company that SEES your request; reads your emails entitled, PLEASE HELP - reads the REASON you need access to help others during the x-mas season and PURPOSEFULLY ignores a physician who simply wants to provide happiness and joy.... The GRINCH trophy goes to Melon's customer service!

Response from Logitech

Hello Tess! Sorry you experienced an issue with the log in / Pro on your account. Due to data migration issues we held off on merging 2 of your accounts but from what i remember we were able to fix it all before Christmas for you. If you have any issues - please let us know! And thank you for your patience.

Melon sets the Streaming Standard

Reviewed on 2022/08/11

Pros

Melon has a simple, clear and straightforward user interface that makes it a joy to work with. It has all the basic features you would expect from a livestreaming service like the ability to stream live to multiple sites and channels. It also has a simple scheduling and editing platform. The platform is well suited to anyone who wants to make live videos. The team has really worked to ensure that everything is well thought through and has been designed with the creator in mind.

Cons

I wish there could be more participants.

Response from Logitech

Hello Dean and thank you for your warm feedback, team is happy to support you further! current limit is 12 participants for Pro subscription but we will definitely consider adding more people. Thank you!

Melon has the potential to rival StreamYard, but it needs to at least cover the basic features that StreamYard already offers.

Pros

Melon is pretty user friendly. I like the layout for the most part. It's looks comparable to StreamYard at first glance.

Cons

My biggest issue is that there isn't an option to have bank for banners and ticker like on StreamYard. Users should be able to have multiple banners and tickers to choose from that are editable.

Best for Live Video Streaming

Reviewed on 2022/04/01

Pros

Melon is a video streaming platform with just a few clicks you can stream your video on social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Twitch and Linkedin.

I don't have to worry about the manual setup of streaming but I can focus on the contents of the video, what to say and how to say it.

This is a very useful tool for those who want to take their live video streaming to the next level.

It's is super easy to setup up and a cloud-based SaaS. The best part is that they are adding more and more features on a weekly and monthly basis.

Highly Recommended

Cons

So, far no complaints at all. They are doing great work.

perfect for my interviews with multiple guests at the time and with recent alerts integrations it's even easier to monetize my shows

Pros

I was blown away by how quick it was to customize and setup my stream! unlimited customization options, great value and amount of features for just $15/month, helped me a lot with my live shows (i do interviews with different specialists from certain industries - they allow up to 9 guests so this was a perfect solution for my shows). They even added overlays recently along with donation goals & alerts from Streamlabs integrated! it's just amazing how fast they build everything. I had a feedback and reached out to support team - they were on top of things and quickly added what i was asking for. just WOW!

I really like Melon. It's easy to use and there aren't a lot of snags.

Pros

How it seemlessly integrates with live broadcast formats. Also like how you are always updating it with new things.

Cons

Take the check button out of the share feature. If one forgets to check it there are big gaps in the audio. Also, make it so that I can share a screen in a larger format. I've had people complain about my podcasts in that regard.

Response from Logitech

Hello David!
Thank you for your feedback and suggestions, we appreciate it!
As for the check button on screen sharing - this is a standard browser pop up that we can't edit because it's not related to the app itself. We will check what we can do on larger formats.

Thanks again,

Live image turned to black and ended on its own

Reviewed on 2023/07/14

Pros

The price is attractive and it is partially translating to serve brazil.

Cons

During a live with eight guests, after an hour, the live image turned to black and ended on its own. This issue derailed the marketing and sales team's plans. Now we will have to redo the live but we will choose a new platform, as StreamLabs support has not responded to us so far.Perhaps, there is still a lack of maturity to serve Brazil. In that case, I would recommend this service for less serious broadcasts that may experience technical difficulties just because the price is inviting.
