Upload videos & build your playlist

Your video library is shared across your whole account — build each stream's 24/7 rotation by adding whichever videos belong in it.

1

Upload one or many at once

Upload video accepts multiple files in one go. Each one gets its own progress bar with its file name shown above it, so a batch upload stays easy to follow — no guessing which bar belongs to which file.

Whatever you upload gets automatically converted to a consistent, stream-ready format in the background. Most common formats work fine; very large or unusual files just take a little longer to finish processing.

The library is account-wide, not per-stream

Video library holds every video you've uploaded, no matter which stream (or streams) it's used in. Upload once, then add that same video to any stream's playlist — or several at once, if you're running more than one loop (Pro).

Build the playlist for a specific stream

Each stream tab has its own Playlist — the actual 24/7 rotation, in order. Add a video from your library, then drag it (or use the up/down arrows) to set where it plays in the loop. The total runtime updates as you go, so you always know how long a full cycle takes.

Changes apply live, automatically

None of this requires stopping the stream. Upload a new video, add it to the playlist, drag it into a new position, or trim an existing clip while a stream is already live — Loopcast just picks up the change at the end of whichever clip is currently playing. No Stop, no re-clicking Go Live.

Worth knowing

  • ·A video only counts once toward your storage quota, based on the file you originally uploaded — using it in multiple playlists doesn't multiply that.
  • ·MP4 (H.264) is the safest bet for fast processing, but you don't need to convert anything yourself first.
  • ·Removing a video from a playlist doesn't delete it from your library — it's still there to add to another stream later.
  • ·You can drag-and-drop reorder, add, or remove videos on a live stream's playlist at any time — it never needs to be stopped first.
