Crowdcast

Crowdcast is a platform for running webinars, workshops and livestreams, letting hosts customise a stage with backgrounds, logos and branding, and use built-in production tools such as overlays, video sharing and slide presentation during a live event. It supports bringing attendees on screen, polling the audience, live chat, and timestamping answers to questions, and can broadcast simultaneously to platforms such as Facebook Live, YouTube Live and Twitch. English live captions are available on paid plans.

Hosts can run free or paid events with flexible ticketing, and the platform integrates with Patreon and Stripe for payments and with Zapier to connect to other apps. It is used for formats including live podcast shows, multi-week courses with slide sharing and student Q&A, and livestreamed events for supporters through its Patreon integration. The company states it has brought together more than ten million attendees across its events.
