Wirecast overview

What is Wirecast?

Wirecast is a cloud-based and on-premise live video streaming solution designed to help churches, schools, event production, media & digital marketing businesses broadcast events in real-time. Features include playlist creation, web conferencing, screen capture, and audio ingestion & mixing.

The application enables event organizers to capture live or pre-recorded video, audio or images to create professional content as well as prepare individual audio tracks for different outputs & streams. Wirecast comes with a stock media library, which allows professionals to access multiple media assets such as videos, music, background images, and more while creating live broadcasts. Sports facilities can use the solution to stream events using built-in timers, stopwatches, scoreboards, and instant replays functionalities.

The solution offers integration with various third-party applications such as YouTube, Facebook, LiveStream, Wowza, Twitter, Periscope, and more. Digital marketers using Wirecast can stream videos across multiple platforms, create content/graphics, communicate with the audience in real-time, and monitor engagement through comments on social media.

Pros
“Overall, experience has been good, it is a program that can be as powerful or simple as you need it to be. The complexities come when things do not go exactly as they should.”

Cons
“The thing is upgrades are costly and older versions are not always compatible with OS updates, so I couldn't use it with all my computers and that is exactly why I switched to OBS recently.”

“Lightly trained and non technical volunteers will struggle when things happen that are outside the norms.”

“When running the non-Apple encoders the CPU usage spikes and the whole system heats up fast and sometimes lags.”
