About Crowdcast
Crowdcast is a live video platform designed to replace clunky webinar tools with a browser-based experience focused on engagement. It solves the problem of juggling multiple tools by letting you host, monetize, and replay events all in one place.
What it does
Host live or pre-recorded video events—from webinars to virtual summits—with interactive features like polls, Q&A, breakout rooms, and emoji reactions. The platform handles registration, ticketing, and automatic replay hosting, so you can focus on your content. It also integrates with email marketing tools like Mailchimp and ConvertKit, and payment processors like Stripe.
Who it is for
Best for content creators running paid or free webinars, coaches and consultants hosting workshops, community managers organizing virtual events, and educators teaching online. It is not ideal for large-scale webinars needing a traditional, formal enterprise webinar tool.
Real use cases
Use Crowdcast to host live shows, online courses, Patreon-exclusive events, virtual conferences with breakout sessions, or hybrid events that combine in-person and livestream audiences. The platform also supports broadcasting to Facebook Live, YouTube Live, and Twitch.
