Castr is best for anyone who wants to stream and host videos for any purpose, whether it’s for gaming, live church services, live TV or business conferences.

Can I stream to multiple platforms on Castr?

-
Do I need anything else to stream with Castr

-
Does Castr support adaptive bitrate streaming?

-
Which Content Delivery Network (CDN) does Castr use?
All live video streams are delivered via Akamai and Fastly content delivery networks (CDN). This will help us make sure there won’t be any buffering or lagging to your video streaming quality.

You’ll also have access to various features such as Multistream, Pre-recorded livestream, Paywall, Advertising, cloud recording with up to 3 days of storage, analytics, password protection, etc. However, if you need more streaming bandwidth, additional destinations, or advanced features like adaptive bitrate streaming, HLS URL, RTMP and SRT Pull Links, you'll need to upgrade to a paid plan

What if I go over my total bandwidth on my account?
f you are subscribed to the Starter or Standard plan, your streams will automatically be disabled when you exhaust your allocated bandwidth.

In such cases, any additional usage beyond the allocated limit will incur an overage charge of $0.10 per GB. Overages will be billed on a per 1TB basis.
