What Castloop is
Castloop is a web-based cloud service that turns uploaded, pre-recorded videos into continuous live streams. It repeats videos around the clock and lets you arrange multiple files in playlists that cycle automatically. A watchdog monitors the stream and can restart it within seconds after detecting a drop. Destinations listed by the service include YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, Instagram, X, Kick, MixCloud, and custom RTMP endpoints, with support for sending to multiple destinations. Uploads can be MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, and most common video formats, up to 10GB per file. Castloop says all plans support Full HD 1080p at 30fps, depending on the source, while selected plans provide 4K streams. Setup involves creating an account, uploading a video, and pasting a stream key. The Lite trial lasts seven days without a credit card and allows one simultaneous stream. Paid plans start at $29 a month.
