Thank you to @chrismessina for the hunt & hello hunters of products! When the pandemic hit it became more clear than ever that platforms for gathering online were crucial. We at crowdcast were luck to ride that wave and experience massive growth but at a certain point we realized our tech wasn’t going to scale to support the needs of the demand. So we went back to the drawing board to redesign and re-build a whole new version of crowdcast. We asked ourselves: how can we make the most engaging online event experience for a post-covid world that builds on our years of live video experience? We focused on 3 main areas: 1) 🎥 Live production — How can your events stand out from the crowd? 2)🙌🏽 Team coordination —  How can we help you produce event with a whole team? 3) 📣 Tools for growth — And How can we help you build a relationship with your community and grow that community over time. Well.. after being in beta with our customers for a whole year, today we’re launching crowdcast v2.0. Here are some of the highlights: • An built-in production Studio — You can now add custom backgrounds…. logos…. create & trigger overlays… and even share videos and slides natively on the platform at the highest resolution. Same • A new Stage — Create complex layouts on the stage depending on the kind of live event you’re looking to host. Pin a sign language interpreter to stay in view the whole time. • Introducing the Wing — We created a new space for guests and presenters to stay hidden until it’s ready to reveal them. • Team Roles — The bigger the event, the more hands it takes to pull it off. Now there are assigned roles for co-hosts, speakers, and moderators to have different levels of control to co-produce the event. • Backstage chat — Have a space for the team to coordinate privately. • Flexible Ticketing — Create multiple teirs of tickets and promo codes to drive registrations and get paid. • An updated Channel — You now have an updated channel page to allow your audience to follow you and stay in the loop for upcoming events. • and many more… This is the start of a new foundation and we have a lot in the pipeline. Ultimately our mission it to help you build community, share your ideas, and make a living.

Crowdcast is the OG live streaming platform! It's rad to see them come back to Product Hunt seven years after their first launch.

Such a game changer

Will try it out for our monthly all-hands, neat idea!

I'm a big fan of Crowdcast - we used it for our hacksummit.org conferences and it was an incredible platform. Excited to use the new version!

Excited to check it out!!

Amazing platform - works seamlessly for virtual events and gives it a bit more life than any other tool online...

Huge congratulations to the whole team for this launch! Excited to see it in action 💪

congrats for the launch

Interesting idea guys! Looking forward to try it!

Looks like something I'd like to use! Great job!

This is super cool. Congratulations on the launch!

I've been using Crowdcast since they started. My live streams have enabled me to grow my mailing list from zero to over 6K in just over a year. Their customer support is awesome too. Real people.

@pevzii @egornevezhin let's discuss! it looks interesting! 🚀🚀🚀

This is fantastic! Crowdcast has been my preferred webcasting platform for years, and V2 is a huge leap forward in funcionality and quality. Highly recommended.

I love the new build and have been using it to launch a community experience this month as a 30-day writing challenge for 40+ people. We do livestreams 2x per week and I originally decided to test two platforms - I started using Crowdcast and after two livestreams the community loves it so much I just cancelled the other service. I'm thinking about using it for all of my recordings (incl., 3 interview-based podcasts). My one request is to be able to have the option of multi-channel audio recording which would allow for more editing options to utilize the recording after the fact specifically as podcast audio. My current podcast recording platform has that feature, and honestly, it's the only thing keeping me from using Crowdcast v2 exclusively. Helpful for a content creator!

Brilliant vision and team! Excited to try out the new studio and stage features. Bravo and congrats on shipping :)

Highly recommended! I've been using crowdcast for 3+ years and followed the development of the platform. Great team, responsive and personal support, and the functionality of Crowdcast v2.0 really rocks and continues to improve.

Looks great! Excited to see how it unfolds.

Very cool. I’d love to use this with some virtual film screenings.
