Livedesk Studio is intended for live broadcasting to various online platforms. In this regard, the application allows you to stream practically any video signal generated or played on your computer, such as your webcam, the desktop and any video file. Likewise, you can use it to share video from connected portable devices.
The application can get somewhat to configure at first, so some users are likely to have a hard time trying to make their live broadcast. For such a purpose, there is a three-tab window, in which you need to set the target platform as well as the video and audio sources. Additionally, it is possible to adjust other broadcast parameters, including video resolution and bitrate.
Besides streaming live video, the tool can also record local video to a file. Moreover, when broadcasting desktop activities, it allows capturing an image from the webcam in picture-in-picture style.
Regrettably, not everything about this product is perfect. For instance, there could be syncing problems between the video and the audio. Likewise, you can experience a delay while streaming, which could worsen if your Internet connection is not very fast.
In short, an application like Livedesk Studio can come in handy for sharing video with a large number of users over the Internet, as it is compatible with practically any video sharing platform, like Facebook Live and Instagram. Thus, it serves for a number of events and opportunities, such as presentations, tutorials and demonstrations.
Although the product is distributed on the Mac App Store for free, it has so many limitations as to the broadcasting time that you will quite soon find yourself needing to upgrade to the Pro version, which is acquired via in-app purchases.
