How to run a 24/7 lo-fi stream
Upload a looping lo-fi video, or your lo-fi tracks with one cover image, set it to play forever and press Start. CastLoop keeps the stream live 24/7 from our servers, so you don't need to leave a PC running.
Step by step
- Create a CastLoop account. Every new account gets a 7-day free trial, no card needed.
- Upload a looping MP4 video, or your tracks as MP3, M4A or WAV together with a cover image.
- Press ＋ Add stream, tick the platforms you want and paste their stream keys.
- Pick Video or Music + cover image as the source, One file or All files (with Shuffle if you like), and set How long to Forever.
- Press Start. New uploads join the running stream automatically.
Two ways to run a lo-fi stream
| Video loop | Music + cover image | |
|---|---|---|
| What you upload | One or more MP4 videos | MP3, M4A or WAV tracks and a JPG or PNG image |
| What viewers see | Your video, on repeat | Your still image, with an optional Now playing title |
| Good for | Animated scenes | A radio-style stream of your own tracks |
The cover image is a still image. For animation, upload a looping MP4 video instead.
