Castr supports streaming to most social platforms with good documentation for setting up the various endpoints. I can't remember a time where any service disruption that we experienced was on them. The platform is well considered and there documentation is completed enough that I have never had to test their customer support. We use Castr every Sunday to live stream our church services to Youtube and Facebook. I have tested Instagram and twitter as well. We also have a video player embedded on our website.
