CB EditorWhat is CastBunny?
CastBunny is a cloud-powered live streaming suite that lets creators host shows, podcasts, or continual loops directly from their own domain—without relying on third-party platforms. Think of it as your own branded live studio.
What are the products offered by CastBunny?
- CastPlayer: Your live stream, your domain. Embed a fully customizable player with real-time chat, tipping, moderation, and peer-to-peer streaming — no middlemen.
- CastStudios: Launch your own branded live studio channel. Host weekly shows, podcast-style live sessions, or 24/7 streaming loops — all in a polished, professional layout.
- CastVOD: Keep the content alive. Automatically archive your streams and publish them as on-demand videos with tipping, comments, and playback analytics.
- CastConnect: Engage your followers across platforms. Sync chat from Twitch, YouTube, and more — or unify your audience through a native chat experience that lives on your site.
When does CastBunny launch?
We’re aiming for a full public launch in September 2025. Right now, eager creators can sign up for our beta program to be among the first to test out the platform.
Is CastBunny free to use?
We’ll offer a free tier for casual streamers, and premium plans with extra features like monetization, branding, and custom domains. Early adopters in the beta may receive perks or discounts for life.
Can I monetize my streams on CastBunny?
Absolutely. We’ve built in tools that help you monetize—whether through subscriptions, donations, or pay-per-view. More monetization features will roll out with future updates.
Do I need technical skills to use it?
Not at all. Our platform includes a polished, professional layout out of the box. If you want more control, you can customize with OBS or embed Kick chat, but it’s entirely optional.
Is there a free trial or beta access?
Yes! Enter your email to join our beta program—get early access, exclusive pricing, and even “Founding Member” status with special perks.
What makes CastBunny different from Twitch, YouTube, or Owncast?
We’re all about creator control—no gatekeepers, no middlemen. Our peer-to-peer streaming backbone gives you performance and privacy, coupled with monetization features on your domain. Learn more in our post on streaming alternatives.
What equipment do I need to start streaming?
Most modern webcams and mics work great. For best results, check our beginner’s guide on “How to Start a Podcast” which also covers streaming gear.
Is CastBunny easy to use for beginners?
Definitely. We’ve designed CastBunny to be plug-and-play. You can go live in minutes without technical know-how, but if you’re a pro, we’ve got advanced features too.
Is peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming secure and reliable?
Yes—P2P offers lower latency and more resilience compared to traditional centralized servers. We explain the tech and its benefits in our “How P2P Video Streaming Works” article.
How do I promote my CastBunny stream?
We recommend multi-streaming across platforms like Twitch or Kick while also directing your audience to your CastBunny domain. Our blog post featuring Kick’s CEO Eddie dives into this strategy.
