The Perfect Companion to the BoxCaster

The BoxCast Advanced Plus Plan works seamlessly with the BoxCaster—an easy-to-use, powerful encoder that can stream up to 1080p. With a camera, the BoxCaster, the BoxCast Platform, an internet connection, and power, you can stream your events live to anyone, anywhere, watching on any device. The BoxCaster or RTMP Encoder Activation are required to be purchased with all BoxCast Streaming Plans.

Unlimited Streaming

Stream as many events as you want to as many viewers as possible. The BoxCast Platform easily scales with your organization and doesn’t penalize you for how many people watch your broadcast.

Responsive, Embedded Player

Embed your video on any website. The BoxCast Player does not rely on Flash and utilizes adaptive bitrate streaming so your streams never buffer.  The BoxCast Player also features customizable thumbnail images, variable playback speeds, a playlist view and the ability to add a countdown timer to your live stream.

Stream to Facebook Live, YouTube, and other destinations

Stream your event to various locations, including Facebook Live, YouTube, Periscope, Twitch and other RTMP streaming destinations.
