Loopcast - loop your video live 24/7 on Steam, YouTube and more

Video content becomes a continuous live stream through automated re-encoding and broadcasting infrastructure that eliminates the need for desktop software or dedicated hardware. A user uploads a video file once, and the service handles transcoding to match each platform's technical requirements—resolution, bitrate, keyframe interval, and audio specifications—then transmits the stream from its own datacenter while monitoring the connection and restarting automatically if it drops. The workflow remains consistent across all supported platforms. Users can loop trailers or gameplay footage directly on Steam store pages so visitors immediately see the content in motion, or maintain an active YouTube channel around the clock even during offline hours. The system requires nothing installed locally and operates independently once configured. Scheduling functionality allows users to book blocks of airtime in advance. A single stream can broadcast different videos at different times—a trailer during business hours and a longer gameplay loop overnight, for example—with the transition handled internally so the platform registers one unbroken broadcast. Blocks repeat daily, weekly, or fire once on a specified date, starting and stopping automatically without manual intervention. All scheduled times are stored in the user's selected timezone and persist through daylight saving changes, with encoding prepared beforehand to ensure broadcasts begin precisely on schedule. Billing is calculated per minute of actual live broadcasting. One stream running for one minute consumes one minute from the account balance, meaning 1,440 minutes equals a full day. Simulcasting to additional platforms incurs discounted rates: the second stream costs 25% less, the third costs half price. Scheduled broadcasts with designated quiet periods cost less than continuous 24-hour operation since charges accrue only during active airtime. New accounts receive 1,440 free minutes—enough for one complete day of broadcasting—with no payment method required. The base price starts at $0.72 per day for continuous streaming. The service targets game developers broadcasting to Steam store pages and content creators maintaining persistent YouTube channels, particularly those seeking automated operation during sleep hours or extended absences.
