OneStreamQ: Hey there Sumo-lings, We are excited to bring you OneStream Live exclusive Sumo Day deal on AppSumo!
OneStream Live is a cloud-based solution to live stream your videos to social medial platforms like Facebook, YouTube etc. We support more than 40 different social media platforms.
We started working on the idea in 2017 and launched OneStream in January 2018. We noticed that live streaming was not a simple task for people who are not tech-savvy. There are lots of issues like video bitrate, internet bandwidth, ease of use, requirements for different social media platforms etc. Our aim was to make live streaming super easy for everyone. People with very basic computer know-how should be able to stream using OneStream Live.
You can stream in real time using a third-party tool like OBS or upload your recorded videos and schedule them to go live.
Real time is ok but why pre-recorded? This is the most common question we get asked. Well, many people are not comfortable going live in real-time. There are a lot of things one has to be careful about and manage the logistics while going live in real-time. With normal live streaming, you have to be present and ready with a camera at the moment you want to start the stream. What if there is a power glitch? OR your laptop malfunctions? Or your internet connection breaks down? Or your neighbours start shouting over something? That could be a PR disaster. With pre-recorded videos, you can create a video content beforehand, edit it to your liking and schedule it to go live at a predefined time. You never have to worry about anything going wrong
Here is our blog about the benefits of live streaming with pre-recorded videos

I think the community here is in consensus that your previous Appsumo offer promised the Studio to be included - when built. This new offer mentions the Studio as an add-on.
While I completely understand this is a new deal, therefore you evidently can offer different terms, what happens to the first investors who went 2 codes on the basis of the features promised to be included when built (studio, chat, embeddable player)?
For your early adopters you already included the CHAT, and the EMBEDDABLE PLAYER (albeit highly limited at 2TB/mo). I think we are all eagerly awaiting confirmation the the early adopters will not see the Studio as an add-on..
On a different topic, for anyone not on board yet, I must recommend Onestream for an excellent support, excellent product, and excellent ease of use. Do not miss this offer if you stream content.
Thank you for clarifying the status of the early adopters; I think we're all looking forward to your reply.
Hi,
OneStream studio will be a separate product than pre-recorded and real time streaming. It will not be part of the Appsumo LTD for anyone. However we agreed with Appsumo to offer it at a special discounted price to sumo-lings who purchased 2 codes.
I am sorry, but your team needs to revise this answer because it contradicts clearly the offer and guarantee made during your first launch:

"Make sure to buy 2 codes (to have access to all features and future updates..etc)." We also have screenshots of your own team confirming that ability to livestream with our camera, invite others on screen, have banners, CTA, etc..WILL be included in the Pro plan aka those who "made sure" to buy 2 codes.
Your product is fantastic. But this issue will blow all your credibility if you do not stay true to the initial deal. What you offer today might be a different thing, but your first offer is to be honored before this second offer gets the community to trust their investment.
INCLUDED in the plan if you buy 2 codes does not mean as a paid add-on.
will this deal ever come back to appsumo?
