What do you like best about Castr?

Castr Live Streaming is user-friendly, and easy to use! I like that anytime I have had any issues, customer support has always been prompt, friendly and helped to resolve any issues quickly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castr?

Some of the limits to stream numbers are confusing and difficult. The structure is for someone that barely streams anything or someone that streams consistently and on lots of platforms. There needs to be a middle of the road option available for castr users that has more options, and not as costly as the premium user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gokul Ramkumar of Castr

We're happy to hear that you find Castr user-friendly and our customer support prompt and helpful. We understand your concerns about the stream number limits and will take your feedback into consideration for future updates.

"Great tool for restreaming"
4/5
What do you like best about Castr?

I like the clean dark interface, which makes it so easy to understand the workflow and how to set up the new streams. Also, I like the availability of servers worldwide, which translates into less latency and more reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castr?

I couldn't understand why sometimes the SRT stream increases the latency compared with RTMP streams with the same setup. Also, in SRT streams, I get some glitchy video in my output channels with no clue how to fix it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gokul Ramkumar of Castr

Thank you for your feedback on the SRT stream latency and glitchy video. We will investigate these issues to improve the streaming experience for all our users.

"We have been using Castr to stream to multiple places for around two years now!"
4/5
What do you like best about Castr?

It is extremely easy to set up our stream to go out to multiple sites. It takes the headache out of streaming to many different platforms at a cost that is competitive and more affordable than any other restreaming service that I have come across! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castr?

The only real downside for us were the times that Castr would fail to connect externally to Facebook or Youtube. This was not a common experience, but in this moments it was frustrating to have to go restart the set-up process from the beginning until the connections would become succesful.

Dear Blake,

Thank you for taking your valuable time to share your excellent feedback. Your simple words mean a lot to us.

We read your dislike and would suggest to add the platforms via API (login method) and the steam would auto connect if there is any breaks.

Happy Streaming!

"I think it is good when it comes to RTMP, but for SRT there is a lack of customization tools."
3/5
What do you like best about Castr?

I think that being able to preview the videos in the dashboard is very useful, as well as to see a preview of the bit rate, and above all, that they have dared to make SRT link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castr?

I cannot intervene the SRT link, put filters or modify the link. Customize it to the point that it allows me to do it if I want to send 6mb or 24mb. Other than that, everything else is fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Castr is a must for us!"
5/5
What do you like best about Castr?

I love Castr. We use it every week to stream our church service, and rather than having to use up our internet bandwidth (which is limited in our area) pushing out to multiple places, we can send it to one place, and they push it out for us. Has helped grow our audience by being available in more places.

They have many more features which we don't even use, but are there if we ever need them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castr?

We have not had a negative experience with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gokul Ramkumar of Castr

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Castr! We're delighted to hear that our platform has helped grow your audience and make streaming more efficient for your church service. We're here to support you with any additional features you may need in the future.
