What BoxCast is
BoxCast is a live video production and streaming platform from BoxCast, a company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. It combines browser-based production, live broadcasting, stream delivery, remote audio control, recorded-stream rebroadcasts, and branded viewing apps. BoxCast Producer lets users produce streams in a browser and send them to websites, social services, smart TV apps, and other destinations. The Broadcaster App supports broadcasts from phones and tablets, and BoxCast accepts its Spark encoder and third-party encoders using RTMP or SRT. BoxCast Flow adjusts to link quality and uses recovery and error-correction methods to support delivery. Streaming plans include viewer chat and controls for password protection, geographic access, and embedding. Storage depends on the plan: recordings are retained for 30 days, 90 days, or one year. Simulated Live can rebroadcast recorded or uploaded broadcasts. Separate products include RemoteMix, for controlling compatible digital mixers remotely, and OTT Apps, for branded viewing on Roku, Apple TV, mobile devices, and the web. Streaming plans start at $109 per month when billed annually and include a 14-day trial.
