Livestorm

Livestorm is a French video conferencing and webinar platform that runs entirely from the browser, with no installation required. It's used to host webinars, demos, training sessions, and meetings, live or automated.

What is Livestorm used for?

You create an event, a registration page, and reminder emails, then stream live with chat, polls, questions, and screen sharing. Webinars can be replayed automatically, and statistics measure attendance and engagement. Livestorm connects to CRMs and marketing tools to sync registrants, making it a favorite among marketing and sales teams for generating and qualifying leads.

Livestorm vs WebinarGeek and WebinarJam?

Compared to WebinarGeek, a European competitor with flat pricing tiers, Livestorm bills by usage (number of attendees), which can get costly at high volumes. Compared to WebinarJam, heavily geared toward American-style sales, it bets on a polished interface and European compliance. For streaming to social platforms, StreamYard is better suited.

What are Livestorm's limitations?

Usage-based billing, based on unique attendees, quickly becomes expensive for large or frequent audiences. The free plan is limited (20 minutes, 30 attendees), mainly useful for evaluating the tool before committing.
