I love seeing products that enable people to gain back control of their audience and revenue stream. Empowering people to own the distribution of their content without relying solely on a third party like Youtube/Twitch/etc is incredibly powerful, especially for small-to-medium sized content creators. My sense is that the pendulum is swinging back in the direction of owning your audience, and I think that's a great thing for audiences and content creators/publishers. Awesome stuff @govindasunil @darwahaj and team.

@darwahaj @ajsharp We have many users who use our restream feature and stream to multiple platforms, and all the social platforms take a big cut from the revenue they generate. Our focus is to give a solution so people can take full control of the stream and use their own website/app so they can monetize it their way without depending on Social Platforms. We will be integrating VAST & Google IMA to our player which lets users to Monetize the videos and get more revenue out of them instead of hosting the videos on Youtube. Thanks again for checking us out. πŸš€

Hi @darwahaj & @govindasunil , the platform looks great, congrats. I am interested to know what DRM you have in place on the platform?
Govinda Sunil
@darwahaj @colinwinhall Castr supports KeyOS and Conax, and we also supports AES128 encryption and we can enable it on request.

Use their product for months almost a year and it's the best price and quality period. Have not had a single problem, not one. Can't recommend them enough.

Hey hunters πŸ‘‹ Super excited to announce our new product - Castr Live Streaming Platform. Get total control over your video live streams + many cool features like cloud recording and adaptive bitrate. Best part? We are (probably) the easiest way to set up live video streaming, and you’ll go live in no time. Allow me to geek out a lil bit more... 😁(full features) 1. Best in class CDN delivery 2. Adaptive Bitrate Stream Transcoding (Streaming 4k? Need ABR? Castr can do it) 3. Unlimited Bandwidth & Stream hours 4. Embed your live streams directly onto your website using our Embeddable Player 5. Get HLS URL so you can embed and make the streams available on your dedicated apps. 6. Multiple Ingest (Ingest RTMP, HLS, MpegTS protocols) No platforms offer this from our research. 7. Simulcasting to social platforms. 8. No contracts no surprise bills, pay only for the limit of concurrent viewers... It’s free to try, test it out yourself and pretty sure you will be happy with the results. Here is a sample live stream which runs via Castr - https://player.castr.io/live_965... Oh by the way -- I’ve made Castr Live Streaming CDN free to try for all PH users, go check it out and please drop a comment if you have any feedback πŸ™πŸ‘Š

More platforms

Happy to know Castr became your primary streaming weapon 😎. Cheers to Castr 🍷, Thanks a lot for your feedback πŸ™Œ.

I LOVE Castr - it was suggested I look at it by a friend in the States and Ive used it for a regular show I work on since. It's quick and simple to use and really reliable. Support and response from the tech team to any questions is super-fast too. 3 months in and it's never let me down
Wahaj Dar
@dcomp Thanks a lot mate πŸ™Œ. Such satisfaction is the reason Castr is still booming ✌. Thanks again.
Dominic Compagnone

It's a brilliant all-round service. Highly, highly recommended

Pros:

Fast, reliable, flexible, great service, high quality, well thought through... shall I keep going?

Cons:

I have no cons or suggestions for improvements right now

Wahaj Dar
Wow! loved the way Castr helps you stream. Thank you mate πŸ™Œ .

Used this product for almost a year now, it has never failed me. Restreaming to multiple sites is easy and painless and the interface is easy to use. I recommend this product to everyone that wants to stream because I've never seen a service with better pricing and bang for the buck or even a better free service. The free service is the best on the internet, never seen a better option.

Pros:

Easy interface, supports all services, free single restreaming, very few limitations, no better alternative services

Cons:

Better user profile management would be nice

Govinda Sunil
Thank you very much for the feedback and very happy to know that you are very happy with Castr πŸŽ‰ . And yes we will make our user management section better in a week to and will give you an update πŸ•Ή

@linksith profile management is so poor. I contacted their support to end a subscription I did not need. They did not cancel it so I hade to pay for it 4 mounts extra. I have spoken with their support multiple times and they have promised that the account team will get back to me, but they never do. Fucking scam.

Have been using Castr.io's free service for a little while now and overall its been a great experience. Has support for A LOT of platforms and the fact that you don't have to pay anything initially is great. With that being said, you do have to pay for their service if you plan to or are streaming content to more than 5 platforms. I have yet to have any issues using their website to restream and overall this has been the easiest setup and execution I've come across so far. Would highly recommend Castr.io to anyone looking for a pain free, easy to use restreaming platform.

Pros:

Easy to setup and use. Support for many services, free along with paid services.

Cons:

Could use an all-inclusive chat extension like other restreaming websites to enhance the experience.

Govinda Sunil
We will surely be making the chat better, we have some plans and you will get an update from us in a week or two πŸ˜‰
