With Castr pre-recorded video streaming, you can upload one or more videos and schedule the stream to go live on websites or multiple social media platforms at any time.
The pre-recorded video streaming feature is currently available in all plans for Castr users. We strongly suggest you follow our Recommended Settings for Recorded Videos to have the best streaming quality.
