It is pretty bare bones, and helpful for my use-case. > > **Cons**: They've been removing features, such as the combined multi-casting chat. It's pretty basic, and lacks the kind of external customizability I'd prefer. > > Largely it's been neutral. I generally still find it functional for multicasting and customer service has answered all my questions clearly. ----- ### "1 Year so far..." — 5.0/5 > **Russell** | *19 February 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great customer service and support. We really appreciate their services. > > **Cons**: the interface it a little confusing, especially with the analytics. Also, that the save latest livestream has not been working correctly. I have to ask for it manually. It will not allow me to download it. It freezes fun download. I have to ask you to put it in google Drive for me to download it. > > Very good. We have been using it for a year now and it has been working good. ----- ### "Castr Is Great for Simplifying the Livestream Workflow" — 3.0/5 > **Adam** | *29 March 2023* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Castr has been incredible for simplifying our workflow. It is invaluable being able to stream to one provider and then let Castr send the stream to our different social channels and websites. > > **Cons**: The pre-recorded stream feature in Castr needs a lot of work. It often looks like it's set up correctly but when it comes time for the stream to start, the file simply doesn't play.I also don't like how when you add the chat embed, or the playlist embed it changes the overall window size. Playlist embed should still be 16x9 ratio with the playlist as a popover. Like how YouTube's playlist embed works. This alone has made it so we don't embed VOD folders from Castr. > > Castr has been great. It feels a little "cheep" or "unrefined" in some areas. I'll get error messages that I shouldn't have gotten which are fixed with a simple page refresh. But for simply streaming, it's a great bang for the buck. ----- ### "Ease of use" — 5.0/5 > **Jairo** | *23 January 2026* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use of the functions, stability of the transmitted signal, good and immediate support, quality of service provided, good price for the features purchased. > > **Cons**: Changing the login method to use a code sent to email makes it difficult for the technical department to access the dashboard. > > It's very good to use, considering the features it offers, the price is affordable, and I haven't had any problems using it. ----- ### "Excellent Live Streaming Quality and Geo-Blocking with Minor Playback Control Issue" — 5.0/5 > **Dusabemungu Hirwa** | *15 July 2024* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Pros: Impressive service: Overall, the service was impressive throughout the year. Live streaming quality: The quality of the live streaming was excellent, providing a great viewing experience. Geo-blocking: The geo-blocking feature worked perfectly, ensuring access to the right content. Visual appeal: The colors and design of the media bars were visually appealing and enhanced the user experience. > > **Cons**: Playback control: The lack of control for rewinding and fast-forwarding was a notable issue, limiting the ability to navigate through the content easily. > > I have been using the service for one year, and overall, it was impressive. I used it primarily for live streaming cricket games happening in our country. The geo-blocking feature worked perfectly, and the video quality was excellent. The colors and design of their media bars were visually appealing. However, the only issue I encountered was the lack of control for rewinding and fast-forwarding. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/240637/castr?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/240637/castr) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
