Comparing Youtube Live vs Facebook Live to Top Video Platform Alternatives [2021 Update]
POSTED ON FEBRUARY 2, 2021
I thought this was a good article of a number of streaming options with the pros and cons including Facebook and Youtube which are the biggest services.
Some things jumped out
Additionally, Facebook Live doesn’t support the following useful live video features:
Monetization
Access and security restrictions
Subscriptions
DRM
yup, no Monetization . That is why it is so difficult to sell on Facebook Live. You have to kludge it all together yourself. Oh, and no access and security restrictions. Yeah, that is a problem.
There are a few major drawbacks when it comes to YouTube Live , however. First, you give up control of your own content. Anytime you broadcast or upload content via YouTube, it gains access to use your material in its own advertising. This is a big drawback for many users.
Additionally, YouTube is one of the most blocked websites in the world , especially in businesses and schools. Notably, it is fully blocked in China . Attempting to load the Youtube app or website while in mainland China will return an error. Your content isn’t worth anything if your target audience is unable to access it.
The article is on the Dacast website to obviously their product is #1, but even that "Requires a bit of a learning curve"
Take a look at the pros and cons of all the products. When finished, do a page search and look for interactive, call to action, etc. Let me know what you find
One of the best slides in the presentation that Rory gives these conferences can be found at the bottom here:

Yes, the Competitive Analysis. Many investors know these product and at a glance, it really shows how Verb differentiates from some of the largest players in the industry.
Notice Microsoft isn't on there. They do have some of that. Not all of it though.
They have Microsoft Stream, Microsoft Teams, Office 365 Video, Yammer, Skype, etc. but nothing like Verb
Rory said on the Thursday conference the integration into Outlook "is just weeks away"
Users will be able to record an interactive video and email it instead of typing an email. I bet you that is more engaging. Within companies, a lot of people don't read email, but I believe they will watch your video.
Rory also said they will "add Verb Live on top of that". Think about that.
Microsoft has many video products. Why in the world would they invite competition onto their platform?
