We have an update that we wanted to share with you. We listened to your feedback and will begin to roll out an update to all Five Stackers called Workspaces!
Workspaces embody the idea around an agency or parent/child subscription management model. Simply put, you can now create sub-accounts within your main account, but YOU control the number of users, streaming destinations, or encoder inputs on a per workspace basis.
This update will begin to roll out to users starting today (Tuesday) and we expect it to fully be complete over the next few days. Happy Multistreaming!
I was playing with this last night and it looks really cool! The process to add users, give them workspaces where they can connect their social media accounts and stream, and the ability to easily allocate a number of ingest feeds and a number of destinations to stream to, is really nice. So, if we are using Switchboard fo our business, we can allocate those slots to our paying clients/customers?
I would really like to know the answer to this one as well. I'm considering for my business, and/or being able to assign an account to my friend who streams, etc, but then keeping the others for myself for whatever.
Do all workspaces get StreamShare branding if I bought the 5-stack? How many workspaces come with the 5-stack? I see nothing about it here or on your site.
Thank you in advance for your time and information.
For some reason this deal didn't perform as it should. Not up to 70 reviews. Did the algorithm work against you here? This deserves more eyeballs on it.
Here's my opinion, (just an opinion). Run a short flash sale, maybe for a week or two just like another company is doing right now.
We do not have aggregated comments on our product roadmap at this time. If we do release this feature in the future, we don’t know which plans we will release it for. It might be an add-on service.
We do not have plans to release a feature for multi or aggregated chat. We have received a ton of requests, so we are considering, but we are not committing to building it at this time.
Thank you for your reply on this. I'm sure there are tons of requests for this feature as engagement with the audience for my clients is the main reason for streaming live. It would really be a no brainer if the said feature was already implemented or would've been on the roadmap for early implementation, maybe by Q2 or Q3 latest.
Do you plan to release a public roadmap before the deal ends? If not, would you please share what features you're looking to release in the near, mid and long term?
I would love to have recording, chat and other options such as stream from Airmeet.
A: Techspify.com, Thank you for the purchase! I just posted a message concerning the public roadmap. It outlines the top features that we are releasing this year.
We are always looking into platforms. Airmeet will be added to the list. If they provide RTMP out, then you can use Switchboard to stream your events from them.
Nice name by the way. Here is information pertaining to branded Stream Share pages: https://www.notion.so/switchboardlive/StreamShare-3d66f27042f541cebad0c9d6dc832e66

Q: Hi, I'm looking to purchase your product but after looking through your comments, I see you keep avoiding posting a roadmap.
You have said multiple times the roadmap is coming the following week with no roadmap published. Like I said, I'm interested in purchasing Swithcboard as it looks like a nice product but, how hard is it to publish a roadmap?
Are you planning on releasing a public roadmap before the end of the deal? You can say no but at least let people know that you don't want to publish it so we don't expect it. Also, while at it, would you publish a change log? I would like to see what you have built so far.
We apologize for the delay in the product roadmap. I just posted features that we are committed to releasing this year. It should be pinned shortly to the top.
A: Hello Sumo-ling, unfortunately, that offer has expired. We have yet to release the pricing for additional streams. We will notify everyone when we do. We do plan on allowing you to add on additional streams. We will always consider discounts for Sumolings.
Yes, you can add more destinations after the stream has expired. We will release updated pricing in the near future.
Q: Hello All!
Product Roadmap Follow-Up
We apologize for not having a fully published product roadmap. As we started receiving feedback from everyone, we began to adjust some of our internal product plans. Knowing that we don't want to over-promise and under-deliver, we delayed the release of our roadmap. We have listened to the community, and we want to release popular features that the community has requested. Details will follow as features are released (similar to the release of Workspaces).
1. Scheduled stream support (YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) - We realized that most of you would like to plan and schedule your streams properly. Therefore, we want to support you with a scheduler.
2. Auto publish to destinations; no clicking Go Live - Speed and ease of use is everything, so we want everyone to have the ability to go live seamlessly!
3. YouTube latency options support - The goal is to optimize latency for our YouTube Streamers!
4. Social embed player (formerly HTML5 Player) - You spoke, we listened! It appears that the community wants a player where they don't have to worry about bandwidth costs. As promised to the 5 stackers, we will release a social embed player. This removes the bandwidth costs while still providing you the ability to stream to your websites.
5. Thumbnail support - The ability to manage video thumbnails for both Facebook and YouTube.
These features will be available within the next 12 months. We don't have exact times for each release, but we will keep the community updated.
Ho programmato una conferenza online (la presentazione di un libro scritto da un professore universitario) con Jitsi. Ho ovviamente il link da condividere. Bene: mi è stato chiesto di trasmettere, in contemporanea, anche su facebook (pagina pubblica di uno studio legale) e sul canale YouTube, sempre dello studio legale. Posso fare questa cosa con questo con Switchboard? La conferenza ha 5 relatori che potrebbero connettersi da molto lontano uno dall'altro. Io che devo gestire lo streaming non debbo neanche intervenire. Sarò solo spettatore. Necessariamente chiedo semplicità d'uso ed una risposta si o no.
P.S. Esiste la versione in Italiano? Non mi sento a mio agio in inglese.
Hi, I state that I am not an expert. I have scheduled an online conference (the presentation of a book written by a university professor) with Jitsi. I obviously have the link to share. Well: I was asked to broadcast, at the same time, also on facebook (public page of a law firm) and on the YouTube channel, also of the law firm. Can I do this thing with this with Switchboard? The conference has 5 speakers who could connect from far away from each other. I who have to manage the streaming do not even have to intervene. I will only be a spectator. Necessarily I ask for simplicity of use and a yes or no answer. P.S. Is there an Italian version? I don't feel comfortable in English.
What application is being used to capture the conference? Is it Zoom, by any chance. If it is Zoom or any other application that sends out RTMP, you can use Switchboard to stream to the destinations you listed. You would set up your destinations within our application. You could send the law firm a StreamShare invite to stream to their destinations as well.
I see there had been other comments from your time in the last couple of months that stated the roadmap will be released the following week with no release yet. I understand you and your team must be busy but if there are no plans to release a roadmap, in my opinion, you should just say it. Users understand when there will be no public roadmap as long as it's communicated to them but this waiting game is not good for business.
Techspify.com - I am releasing a post today concerning the product roadmap.
Q: Hello, I work with webinarjam:
01.
- Is it possible to use it as a decoder as well as zoom? In the main panel of webinarjam there is no that RTMP code anywhere but in its manuals it does say that they use RTMP for live.
02.- Can I do 2 live broadcasts at the same time? from webinarjam and obs on the same pc? and go live using the webinarjam functions?
03.- Can you talk or make a deal with webinarjam so that they give us that RTMP code and be able to transmit?
Currently, unified chat is not available on our platform. This has been a highly requested feature and we’ve added it to our list of features to consider in the future. We offer some advanced features that we think you’ll enjoy using.
The drag & drop feature that you have described isn’t available on our platform. We appreciate the great feedback, and we’ll keep that feature in mind.
Thanks again for checking our AppSumo deal. We would love to see you as one of our customers and leave a review!
