Giving me a video streaming platform that I can make my own-- and brand as my own-- is key to landing clients > > **Cons**: There's not a ton of information online about Digital Samba outside of their website. > > I use this for client meetings, and I use it to collaborate with other consultants on big projects. It's always streamlined the process of being able to reliably communicate on a high quality and "in-house" platform. It's allowed me to maintain a much more professional image when working online. ----- ### "Easy to use with all the features I need" — 5.0/5 > **Glenn** | *31 May 2022* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how easy to use the Samba Live platform is. The UI is simple and intuitive. Anyone could learn how to use it in minutes. I also love how easy it is to set up and join meetings. If I have a meeting with a potential client, I can organise it and send out invites in minutes. You get access to all the features you would ever need within a video meeting. The features I use the most are screen-sharing, file-sharing, video recording, and the shared whiteboard. Being browser-based means clients don't have to download any new software to join my meetings. Samba Live allows me to maintain a professional image in my online meetings easily. The pricing policy is fair. You pay just a little bit more than the cheaper platforms, but in my opinion, you get a much better product. I always recommend Samba Live to friends and colleagues. Many clients are so impressed by the platform that they ask me for a download link\! > > **Cons**: There are no major cons to this platform. I have emailed them in the past about minor issues, and they always responded quickly and answered my questions. ----- ### "Useful but needs to be improved" — 3.0/5 > **Alberto** | *23 February 2022* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy, efficient and good tool for webinars > > **Cons**: The image quality when uploading a file. Sharing videos from youtube would also be improved with more features (selecting severals links which can be viewed one after another > > Good experience but I would like to see how it improves ----- ### "Hooked on Samba" — 5.0/5 > **Kristina** | *22 July 2022* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love using Samba because it's super easy to use - to create meetings, invite people and most of all, I love that it is browser based - no need to install anything. > > **Cons**: Nothing really. It fulfils all my needs and requirements. > > I have been using Samba for years - from meetings to virtual classrooms. It never failed me. And if it did, it was the internet connection fault. ----- ### "Feature-rich and easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Dominik** | *8 September 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Samba Live is the perfect alternative to any video conferencing software which needs downloads to work properly. It allows you to start meetings right from the browser, which makes it easy for participants to join your webinar or online meeting. You don't have to think anymore of if participants will be able to install the video conferencing software or configuring it the right way. They just click on a link and can join the meeting. I also enjoy the rich set of features for interactive webinars/meetings like the whiteboards, Q\&A and screen sharing (all works directly from the browser). It's also super easy to plan everything in advance. > > **Cons**: The UX of the dashboard (backend) could be as great as the meeting platform itself. At the moment, it looks a bit old-fashioned although everything works seamlessly. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/144658/samba-live?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/144658/samba-live) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
