| Recording | mimoLive records the program output or separate audio and video inputs as ISO recordings while streaming. | A separate encoder records locally to MP4, so recording remains full quality when live bitrate drops; recording also supports file splitting. |
| Security | The maker warns that the HTTP API is not well protected and advises against exposing it directly to the public internet. | SRT supports AES-128, AES-192, or AES-256 encryption with a passphrase; RTMP/RTMPS is also supported. |
| Support | The pricing page lists community support for Free, professional support for Studio, and priority support for Broadcast. | PikoTV says it provides 24/7 engineering support through any media. |

In their own words
mimoLive
mimoLive is a live video production application built around a many-in, many-out engine. It combines switching, graphics, DVR playback, ISO recording, streaming, transcoding, scaling, keying, multiview, and audio and video routing. Its graphics engine uses customizable layers that can be rearranged and saved as sets and variants. The software can stream and record to separate destinations and record independent tracks from input sources. It supports real-time chroma keying for green, blue, or other backgrounds, and multistreaming to as many as six destinations. Listed destinations include YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitch, LinkedIn, Zoom, and RTMP services. Zoom participants can be sources, and mimoLive output can be sent to Zoom through a virtual camera. NDI input, output, and source conversion are also supported. Version 6.18 requires an Intel or Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 13.0 or higher; it is not a browser-based studio. The Free plan costs nothing and includes the full feature set, with a watermark.
