Both have their advantages, I prefer to start with a template (mimonews) and then adjust my sources (more on this later) as I go along. Upon the program’ start, a window will open asking whether you want to use one of MimoLive’s templates (there are many available) or create a new one from scratch. Naturally since it’s in the title of this article, I’m talking about MimoLive from Boinx software. Easily add various video and audio sources, with options for lower thirds, bringing pre-recorded audio and video, live streams from url streams, and much more. There’s another choice though and while it isn’t free, the UI is a fresh look at what can be done with all the options you might want.

You also have to set up your own streaming sources and that can be a mixed bag as well with so many variables that getting just one wrong can ruin an entire session. OBS is trying to make it a little easier by allowing you to group items like cameras, audio sources, and so on to reuse, but it can still be confusing. If you’re the kind of person who can painstakingly plan out each and every scene you want to use for each livecast, then it won’t be that big a deal, but depending on how complicated each scene is or how many different scenes you may need, this can become overwhelming. If you want to re-use those elements in a different scene you can, but you have to include them separately each time. So if you have say a video source along with other static images over that source that you want to show, that scene must include them all. Each scene must contain each element required that is going to be seen or heard during the time that scene is the most prominent. However it’s an all or nothing kind of experience in that you have to create “Scenes†in order to switch between different views.

On the free side of things there’s OBS (Open Broadcasting Software) which is very powerful and yes, free. So what category does mimoLive fall into? Kind of in one all it’s own. Some were alright, some where downright awful, and some were just too expensive for casual use.

I have been dabbling with online streaming for over 2 years and have used a variety of different software packages to do so.
