i cant find no problems is work very fine all the time

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.

Castr 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.

At 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.

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.

- Great ideas and good concept of features - Prices seem to be fairly good - Customer service was friendly and quick to return questions

- 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

Is been a really good experience, the service is great, the implementation easy and the day by day uses are very stable

Is easy to use and easy to configure every channel, i like the service to control everything in one place

I would like to have embed video in multistreaming

Positive experience, still recommend it to my colleagues.

Easy to setup, integrates well with Facebook and YouTube, automatic backups and good price.

Would love to have a feature/facility that would permit adding additional destinations without having to upgrade for the one off occasions.

excellent- highly recommend for anyone who wants to stream to multiple platforms in a way that doesn't require logging in regularly

Absolutely LOVE and need the multi-streaming service that Castr provides. We stream from OBS weekly and send signals to both Facebook and Youtube. Castr has been a simple solution where I set the streaming info for both sites in Castr, and then only have to log-in and change anything if one of them has a problem with the persistent streaming key. in our weekly use, Castr is NEVER the problem if we encounter any issues.

Because we only use a simple feature of the site and are barely scraping the surface, it was a bit overwhelming to set up.

We have been using Castr with OBS for more than one year now; due to the pandemic, all our programs had to go online. Even after we come back to in-person programming, we will definitely rely on Castr as our multi-streaming service. We tried with several others, but none were as reliable as Castr.

The interface is very user friendly, and there are a ton of channels that I can set up. Controls are easy to understand, you don't need too much information to set up a channel. I have been working with three different Facebook channels, and two YouTube on the same stream and I have had no issues with lag. Also, the price is very affordable.

I wonder if there is a way to integrate Instagram. I know it's not a very friendly platform for multistreamers, but I just wonder...

Castr is not only very easy to setup and manage a stream, but being able to broadcast to multiple sources such as Facebook and YouTube is made very easy.

It doesn't happen a lot, but on occasion we have had a glitch where when we multi-stream, one platform will work instantly but the other platform takes a while to connect. Usually all you have to do is close the window and restart Castr to fix the problem. But overall this happens very rarely. As long as you have stable internet you should have no issues.

My experience overall has been smooth and consistent.

It works and the feed is reliable, I can’t say the same for other popular streaming services. The ease of use is also very simple for someone just starting out.

I really don’t have anything negative to say, I chose Castr because it was the best option.

I love the great documentation and ease of use. The prebuilt setup for the Blackmagic ATEM Mini streaming profiles has been a huge help in improving the output of our stream and helping manage our limited upload bandwidth.

The documentation has grown significantly since we initially signed up. It would be useful to allow the monitoring of the stream without seeing the stream. We’re on limited bandwidth and it would be great to have more options to monitor the health of a stream without also needing a constant live preview of the stream.

We user Castr to deliver our content 24/7 to different platforms, it makes our workflow much simpler, we save internet bandwidth and hardware stress

We use this service daily and this is already part of our workflow! It offers a clever alternative to slow internet connection when one need to stream to various channels and is very easy to use.

As it is part of our workflow any instability in the service have an impact in our multi transmissions

From start to finish we've had an excellent experience. The online chat was so supportive in answering initial questions and concerns. Also the service is widely used and supported, meaning there's loads of online content on YouTube that can get you up and running in minutes. Castr is reliable and affordable so we highly recommend it (and especially for live streaming church services).

The best thing is it's ease of use. We got up and running really quickly. It's so reliable!

I didn't like the fact that to pre-schedule content we had a low limit of 2GB when our content can be 1 hour long. However the support team advised us to use Handbrake which reduces video file sizes, making this usable for us

Overall very happy. Support over chat has been responsive with any questions. After using it with this organization, I have recommended Castr to other organizations, and they have been happy with performance. One of the nonprofits I work with only has to broadcast events every few months, so I have the flexibility to signup in months I will need Castr, and then cancel when I don't need it. And all my settings stay when I signup again.

During pandemic, we had to quickly transition our on onsite mosque programs to online only. Previously we would record and upload certain programs to YouTube, but now we would be hosting via Zoom, and we wanted to reach our audience on YouTube and Facebook live as well. There are many tools on the market, but we found Castr to be easy to set up and priced similarly to others. Castr also allows you to stream to other major platforms such as Twitch and Vimeo and so many others we have not heard of. We have also liked the ability to upload videos and schedule a go live event. It drastically reduces the need to manage things separately on Facebook and YouTube.

YouTube integration was finicky in the beginning, and part of it was with how YouTube was making changes. We settled upon separate YouTube streaming keys for each of our event types, and configured them as as separate streams in Castr. This also means we have to pre-schedule our streams in YouTube and associate with the correct. However, we have worked that into our processes, and it isn't that much overhead. We've also had the occasional problem with Facebook where the stream starts twice, and and we end up with 2 events (a 2 minute start of the event, and then a separate one with the rest).

Amazing experiences, high quality customer service reps.

From the first time we used Castr.io the program has done exactly what we needed for a very very reasonable price. Love the price and even better than cost is customer support. EVERYTIME we have had a question, they have replied nearly instantaneously no matter what time it was!!!!

This software does exactly what we need, there really are no least likes.

It's expensive, but one of the cheaper options these days for what I need. I would not use Castr if it were not for free options being a dwindling thing (I moved from Mobcrush, which worked excellently and had similar features, but was free).

It functions well for multicasting, the basic chat it has will bring together the chats of other sites. This is very helpful for my use-case where I teach.

It's pretty bare bones on some aspects:-The chat popup isn't customizable. I think this feature is needed to compete with other services.-When adding social media accounts for streams, it disallows you to re-use the same pages without penalizing you (against restrictions on the account for number of accounts). When using a paid product that says it can be used with X-many accounts, it should mean that, not count duplicates.-I could not set up multiple multistream setups as a result of the above issue.

My overall experience with Castr has been above and beyond my expectations. It has been fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone that would like to broadcast to multiple destinations at one time.

Castr is so easy to use and allows so much freedom when it comes to our church livestreams. I have quickly been able to train other congregation members, who are more elderly, to use this software with ease which allows more freedom for me. With that said being able to login from any location allows me to troubleshoot any ideas they may come across when I am not on site. I love this product very much.

I cannot say there are any cons I have found with Castr. This product has been so good and reliable that it creates a quality product to multiple destinations at one time making my life so much easier. If I have to mention one con, is that I have not been able to figure out the responding to all platforms at one time, but I think that comes from me using a phone and not a computer.

Multistreaming is what I mostly use it for and my experience has been very positive little to no hiccups at all.

Castr is an amazing product and I have yet to really tap into all of its features but I will say it's very reliable and the customer service is great and fast when I have concerns or questions.

I don't have any cons, this product does everything I need it to and more.

Castr has made it very easy to stream to both Mixer and Twitch at the same time. By pulling my Mixer feed, it simplifies my Twitch stream output.

Ease of use and UI were pretty superior to other products (namely restream)

I wish it had fully combined chats, and a chat bot would be ideal (cross-platform but one central UI for commands, timers, etc)

I signed up with Castr when a friend of mine needed to add few more points to his stream. I was ever happy and added to the maximum available services.

The combination of ingest points, ability to add platforms and ease of use makes this product a swiss knife of streaming and video delivery.

The software is still having challenges when integrating with extremely proprietary Facebook and few other restrictive services. Everyone wishes a little bit more support with them. Also, castr should allow to increase the number of services a la carte.

We've used it for at least three years that I can remember and it's met our needs. Based on this survey there are features it has that we're not using evidently - I'll look into that

Once it's set up - it's relatively easy to launch each week.

There were a few times we had trouble getting the program up and running and we didn't have/know of a way to secure help from Castr. Additionally We had to call in an expert to update some settings in our system...We're not professionals so it could. have been caused by a user error or standard system changes. Would love the program to be a bit more intuitive.

Overall,I do enjoy using and learning more about castr!

The multi-streaming facility made easy!!

Being logged out without warning! Even when I saved the password.

It's cheap The site is fluid and quite easy to setup You get an RTMP link of your stream, which is good for rebroadcasting. Lag time is so impressively little; close to FTL. On the whole it is a very good restream option, competes well with any other out there, and is a good value for money. You'd probably never want to switch once you get in.

Video quality can be better. There is quite noticeable difference in the quality of the feed or video when streaming directly to the external platform, say YouTube. I don't know what Castr does - maybe a recompression or other messing around with the bits and bytes. I have told them about this quite a while ago.

Castr is a well recommended streaming platform for small to middle size churches wanting to expand their audience.

Our favourite feature is the real time recording, and the scheduling, also how easy it is to set up.

At the moment there is nothing that We would say that’s is either not working well or at all.

Castr has made streaming to multiple destinations and recording at the same time a simple task

Castr is Easy to uses and does the job it promises

There are some limitations depending on the selected plan, and not all available streaming destinations are available
