Castr solves a simple problem streaming to two different platforms was annoying and slow before them. They allow for simple live streaming to their platform and then is able to send out to multiple streaming services. I’ve used it for multiple years and never had a single glitch. Love their customer service and simple set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have never had a single problem with the software, it runs exactly how it should flawlessly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After a short learning curve, the setup is relatively straightforward. The team were helpful in understand our exact use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use the starter plan as we are on a limited budget. Some of the feature restrictions such as losing the ability to save a Livestream after 3 days can be limiting, especially if a volunteer forgets to follow the process within the timeframe.

It can also be a little bit difficult to look at and predict the amount of bandwidth required and available storage, but not impossible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ability to shape aspects of Castr to do extensions of things we like to do in our business streaming - to behave in awesome unexpected ways.

Such as harnessing a permanent incoming live stream - to then reroute as a new destination to other live streams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

auto deletion of recorded live streams after a few days .. this has caught us out for a client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a Livestream Technician and Broadcast Specialist, I’ve found several upsides to using Castr.com for our Church’s live streaming needs:

Castr allows us to stream simultaneously to multiple platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. This feature has been instrumental in expanding our audience reach, ensuring that more members and non-members alike can access our church services, whether they’re in the Philippines or abroad.

During our usage from 2020 to 2021 and continuing now in Marilao, Castr has proven to be highly reliable. It minimizes interruptions and provides a stable stream, even during high-viewership services, which is crucial for maintaining a smooth worship experience.

The user-friendly interface and setup make it easy for our team to manage streams without requiring extensive technical training. This has been beneficial for scaling our operations and allowing other team members to handle the system confidently.

Castr’s analytics tools provide real-time insights into viewer engagement and stream performance. This information is valuable for understanding our audience's preferences and optimizing future broadcasts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Despite its many advantages, there are a couple of downsides:

While the basic features are robust, accessing premium functionalities such as higher bitrate streaming or custom branding often comes at a higher cost. For non-profit organizations like ours, this can strain our budget.

While their online documentation is extensive, offline support during real-time technical issues is somewhat lacking. There have been instances where immediate assistance was unavailable, leaving us to troubleshoot critical problems independently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Castr because it makes it easy for me to do my live streams both 12h and 24/7. It always impresses me with how easy it is to use and configure, and it always works perfectly. The price has always pleased me because there are several affordable plans, and it has impeccable support. And the integration with my YouTube channel is perfectly easy to do and very dynamic. I use Castr's services frequently and I can say it is the best of all the streaming platforms I have ever used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far I have nothing to complain about, only praise! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the fact that it launches my streams automatically for me. I no longer have to go and start the stream on Facebook and YouTube, it just does it for me. I love the fact that it also allows me to stream directly to my website without going through another party. There are so many features, I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of what all it can do. Implementation and integration were super easy. We simply pointed our ATEM to Castr and then told Castr where we wanted it to go. Had it up and running in our existing system without needing new hardware in a matter of a couple hours. We use this every week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there are so many options that I don't even know what to do. Their online documentation can be difficult to find, but customer support is usually good about getting me the info I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is the practicality, the quality, and the total number of functions available for live streaming, and being able to use the videos on my site without having to be on YouTube. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to be able to change the video aspect, for example from 16x9 to 9x16, which would make it easier to use on Instagram. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy to use Castr is and it makes my life so much easier to go live on multiple platforms with just one click, I love it! I'm new to multi-streaming so it's the perfect tool for me as it's also very affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None so far! I've only been using it for a few days but everything is fantastic so far! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease to connect to multiple platforms with a simple click of a toggle switch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes with FB , I have to reconnect the RTMP. I do believe that this is a FB error and not necessarily a CASTr issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
