About Loopcast

We are Loopcast

Loopcast, at loopcast.io, keeps a video broadcasting live around the clock on Steam store pages, YouTube and Kick. You upload it once, we encode it to the platform's spec and run it from our datacenter, so nothing has to stay switched on at your end.

What Loopcast does

Upload a trailer, a gameplay reel or an ambient loop. Loopcast re-encodes it to Steam's, YouTube's or Kick's broadcast spec, keeps it live, and restarts it on its own if the connection drops.

Who it is for

Mostly game developers keeping a trailer playing on their Steam store page through a launch or a festival, and creators who want their YouTube or Kick channel live while they are away.

How we charge

Your balance is minutes on air. One stream around the clock is $0.72 a day, extra platforms are discounted, minutes never expire and there is no subscription.

Why we built Loopcast

A Steam store page with a live broadcast on it shows a visitor the game in motion before they have scrolled at all. The catch is that a broadcast needs something pushing video into it, and for most small studios that meant OBS on a spare PC, left running for a week of Next Fest and hoping nothing restarted overnight.

Loopcast is the service we wanted for that job. It runs in a datacenter instead of under your desk. It encodes to the spec each platform publishes, so the stream is not rejected. It watches the broadcast and brings it back if it drops. And you pay for the minutes you are actually live, nothing else.

It started with Steam and grew to YouTube and Kick, because the same problem, keeping something live when nobody is at the keyboard, shows up everywhere. Scheduling came next, so a trailer can run through the day and a longer gameplay loop overnight, inside one continuous broadcast.

Loopcast is a product of Creahive, a studio based in San Diego, California. Questions reach the team directly, by email or on the Loopcast Discord.
