Beaconcast is a complete live-streaming server: point your broadcast software at it and viewers watch on a page you own, with built-in chat and no third-party platform in the loop.

Worth knowing before you commit:

  • Streaming eats upload bandwidth; know your uplink before going live.
  • Hardware encoding support keeps CPU use reasonable.
  • Chat can require registration or stay fully anonymous — your call.

For creators who want the stream, the chat and the audience relationship on their own domain.
