Consultant

“You get all the different magic studio features that are just insurmountable and I'm even waiting for my show to grow in a way to where we can utilize the feature where someone is just in there and is actually just playing the producer role controlling the camera, switching the media doing that sort of thing.”

Cons

“While on a live stream, every time someone leaves a new comment in the public chat, it resets all the way to the bottom. If you’re trying to show comments on the screen during the live stream, this can be very annoying.”

Lead Investigator

“I am using iphones and i do not have the ability to zoom my video recording also maybe i a beginner i found the web based editing to be extremely hard”

Zeeshan S.

Engineering leader

“I've struggled with some bugs around recording and editing. If a guest joins the recording before the host, it can cause audio issues.”
