LiveU Studio review
A capable browser-based production suite for cloud multi-camera streaming.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
LiveU Studio is a cloud-based live video production and distribution platform for broadcasters, sports organizations, media companies, production teams, and content creators. Its browser-based workflow covers multi-camera switching, audio mixing, graphics insertion, remote guest contribution, replay, ISO recording, highlights, and distribution. The platform runs on the web and provides an API, making it suited to teams that want production capabilities without limiting operations to a local encoder workflow.
Its strongest area is production depth in the browser. LiveU Studio supports remote contribution for up to 8 guests, audio mixing with up to four discrete outputs, instant replay with variable-speed playback, ISO recording of camera or input feeds, and clipping and downloading highlights from recordings. Static and HTML5 graphics support adds presentation control, while live source ingest and pull workflows accommodate LiveU and third-party sources. Input and output compatibility spans LRT, SRT, RTMP, RTP, RTMPS, HLS, RTSP, MPEG TS, and DASH. Distribution can reach up to 30 destinations, with published category specifications listing five simultaneous outputs and a maximum resolution of 1080p.
The main buying consideration is the commercial model. LiveU Studio uses contact-sales pricing and usage-based billing, with hourly billing beginning when testing starts. A 14-day trial provides a time-limited way to assess the workflow, but there is no permanent free plan. The 1080p ceiling may also rule it out for teams that require higher-resolution delivery. Choose LiveU Studio when browser-based switching, guest contribution, replay, recording, graphics, and multi-destination distribution matter more than public rate transparency or output beyond 1080p. Teams seeking a permanent free option or higher maximum resolution should consider an alternative.
