Delays are under 2 seconds. If you need real real-time streaming, Castr is built to make it happen.
Adaptive Bitrate Streaming
Optimize your stream for every viewer according to their connection speeds with adaptive bitrate streaming, and ensure that every viewer has the best experience possible on their network.
