About BoxCast
BoxCast is a live video streaming solution designed to help organizations, municipalities, and churches broadcast events and connect with audiences across multiple channels. Features include monitoring, social sharing, video compression, customizable branding, transcoding, and data encryption.

The solution allows users to add captions and customize their vocabulary for live or recorded broadcasts. Moreover, with its analytics module, professionals can evaluate audience engagement based on total views, unique viewers, and average view duration as well as track customer locations using interactive maps.
BoxCast offers integrations with various third-party platforms such as Wirecast, ProPresenter, MediaShout, Squarespace, Subsplash, Faithlife, and more. Moreover, team members can use the solution to diagnose the streaming quality and troubleshoot issues based on multiple factors including bit rate, frame rate, and packet loss.

Cons
It's a little pricey, and requires scheduling events in advance.

We have loved the switch to BoxCast, it is a little more expensive for us, but offers a lot more features and we don't regret our decision to use them.
Pros
I absolutely love the fact that I can schedule our live streams and they run themselves. We no longer have to go and manually start and stop a livestream and make sure that it posts, Boxcast just works and it saves me so much time weekly
Cons
I wish the add-on apps like for FireTV and AppleTV were a little cheaper. At $1,000/each its a hard add-on just because we're not sure how much people would take advantage of them. It seems like since its an app they've already built that it would be cheaper to change the stream ID in the app and the logo.

Very good streaming service. And the technical help was amazing.

The cost of the service is very high, and the percentage that they take for doing a paywall is very high as well.

Great easy to use Live Streaming Software
Reviewed on 2021/09/07
Pros
It's basically a plug and play platform. Really smooths out our video stream and took care of any buffering issues we were having.
Cons
The one thing I think could be improved is there countdown timer to when live steam starts only goes until it reaches 1 min and then it does not count down the seconds so your not quite sure when it is going to start.
