Castr for streaming Worship Services
With Castr we are able to steam Worship Services consistently to Facebook and YouTube without difficulties. Castr provides the streaming capability and we just need to send the video feed to Castr. Being in Hawaii it can be difficult finding a good streaming server. However we have had no problems with the Castr LA server.
PROSCastr is easy to setup multiple streams. We use OBS as are method to stream and it is nice to be able to start the stream and connect to Castr before we stream to social media.
CONSAt this moment we have had no problems with Castr. Any problems we have had has been due to our Internet connection or the social media sites themselves. Castr has been solid. It has many features that other sites charge a lot more money to provide.
Reason for choosing Castr
Was originally going to go with Livestream but when it became Vimeo Livestream it was no longer cost effective for our purposes.
Reasons for switching to Castr
Needed to stream live video in addition to recorded video.

Conceptually great, but execution is terrible
Before I give my review, if I could give one solid piece of advice, it's STAY AWAY FROM CASTR.IO Their customer service, while friendly, lack knowledge and typically beat around the bushes when answering your questions. And if they do know the direct answer, it's usually a disappointment. The scheduler is many times choppy when streaming videos from it, and you can only have ONE scheduler. YES ONE SCHEDULER. That's so crazy that no matter what package you have, you get ONE. And they mislead you to believe higher packages have more. On top of this, I've had plenty of issues with a stream stopping in the middle and having to restart it over completely from the beginning because they have no method to skip through videos that you upload to their schedulers. The idea and concept of their service is fantastic, their actual service is terrible. Save yourself some trouble and go get service that actually works consistently the way you need it to. I expect castr.io to lose more and more as people realize how featureless they actually are with all the bugs in their system.
PROS- Great ideas and good concept of features - Prices seem to be fairly good - Customer service was friendly and quick to return questions
CONS- Streaming was choppy when using the scheduler - Only able to schedule one at a time - Customer service lacked training and/or knowledge of product - Many bugs when uploading to scheduler - No playback menu to skim through media if things failed on their end to continue where you left off on your broadcast
Reason for choosing Castr
At the time I thought that the price and features in comparison to others was a better deal, but I soon found out that was incorrect.

Hey Bulanadi, Sad to see the lower ratings, we at Castr value each and every feedback, and I personally think I can help you find the solution or help you find the source of the error. You may reach me personally at gokul@castr.io regarding this issue and I can assure you that my assistance will make you consider the change in the feedback.
