YouCast is a cloud-based platform that turns pre-recorded videos into 24/7 live streams on YouTube — no PC, OBS, or local software required. Users upload a video once, connect a YouTube channel (or use a custom RTMP stream key), and YouCast's cloud servers handle encoding and broadcasting continuously, including automatic stream restart and recovery, seamless video looping, and playlist scheduling across multiple videos. Streams support up to 4K resolution at 60fps with automatic transcoding. YouCast is used by creators running ambient and background-content channels (lofi music, nature sounds, gaming highlights, study/focus streams), as well as businesses running always-on broadcasts, to build watch hours and grow their audience on YouTube without manually operating a live stream.
