Intro to Playcast

For those of you who have not participated in an Alpha program, in our particular case, the Playcast Server is consumer software that interacts strongly with users' personal desktops and games.  We feel that it's important to get early feedback on how users will experience our product.

Playcasting is the convergence streaming and gaming.

Playcasting enables the transition from delivering applications as (insecure, hardware dependent) code to delivering them as interactive video.

• Playcasting provides a common way to deliver a highly interactive real-time video multicast of anything you use your computer for.
• Since a Playcast interactive stream is visible to all existing browsers, video conferencing and streaming tools (Like OBS), Playcasters can create entirely new live streaming experiences and communities.
• Playcasting is clientless, which means Playcasters can share their live streams with anyone on any device anywhere via any browser.
• Playcasting is cloudless (Peer-to-peer), which means that it is free and has very low latency.
• Playcasting is fast and operates at the OS driver level which enables it to capture live gaming and media viewing sessions.
• PlayCast sessions include mouse, keyboard and game controller input streaming enabling total collaborative play and desktop use.
