Not everyone in your district is on the same platform

Council meetings, budget hearings, and public briefings need to reach residents wherever they actually check in — and stay available afterward for anyone who wants the record. CastFork handles both halves of that from one dashboard.

The reach problem

A meeting only reaches the people watching one channel

Multistreaming sends your meeting to Facebook, YouTube, and any destination that accepts a plain RTMP feed — including the equipment your PEG channel or existing broadcast setup already runs — at the same time, from one encoder.

  • Custom RTMP works with your current government-access channel hardware, no swap required
  • Standard raises simultaneous destinations to 3, with no cap on how many you connect overall
  • Encrypted RTMPS on every plan, including Free

What public communications teams need beyond a webcam

Public comment, in one panel

Comments from chat-capable platforms land in the same Studio chat view — YouTube today, more coming — so moderating public comment doesn’t mean watching separate tabs during a live hearing.

A record that outlasts the meeting

Cloud recordings stay available for 15–30 days depending on plan, long enough to satisfy most public-records timelines.

A reminder residents can actually use

Scheduled events get a public countdown page and a downloadable calendar file, so a resident can add next month’s hearing without hunting for the agenda PDF.

Honest about accessibility, today

Live burned-in captions during the broadcast itself, and searchable post-meeting transcription, aren’t built yet — we’d rather tell you that than let you find out during a hearing.

Government FAQ

What public-sector teams ask before switching

Setup

Yes. Custom RTMP works with any encoder or hardware that outputs a standard RTMP or RTMPS stream, including most existing government-access channel setups.

Not yet — per-department role-based access control and single sign-on aren't built today. We won't claim otherwise until they ship.

Public record and access

Comments from chat-capable platforms appear in one Studio chat panel in real time, so a moderator watches one feed instead of switching between each platform's native chat. YouTube chat feeds the panel today; the other native platforms are on our roadmap.

15 to 30 days depending on plan, and Enterprise gets a custom retention window built around your jurisdiction's requirements.

Yes. Scheduling a meeting through Upload & Stream generates a public countdown page and a downloadable .ics calendar invite residents can add on their own.

Not yet — neither live burned-in captions during the broadcast nor post-meeting searchable transcription are built today. Both are on our roadmap.
