What nanoStream Webcaster is

nanoStream Webcaster is a web-based live encoder that sends broadcasts to nanoStream Cloud. It works in a browser without plugins, using either a camera feed or a shared screen as the video source. Controls cover camera and audio toggles, starting and stopping, settings, playout access, and audio input selection. Broadcasters can set maximum video bitrate, resolution, frame rate, and audio bitrate. During a broadcast, statistics show packet loss, round-trip time, send delay, audio and video bitrates, and frame rate. Webcaster uses WebRTC and WHIP output protocols and can connect through nanoStream Cloud with environments based on RTMP and HLS. Its JavaScript API allows embedding in a web page, and a package is distributed through GitHub. Operations use HTTPS/TLS; secure playback uses JWT tokens and must be enabled for an organization. Plans include Free, Starter at $239 a month, Medium at $599 a month, and Custom pricing. A seven-day trial is listed.
