Kast: A Streaming Party App with Limitations
Screenshots
Kast is a video sharing application designed for desktop users, enabling groups to watch movies, TV shows, and games together with up to 100 participants. The software features an intuitive user interface with a dark theme, making it visually appealing for extended viewing sessions. Users can join existing parties or create their own, allowing for customization of party names, descriptions, and privacy settings. Communication tools, including voice, text, and video chat, enhance the interactive experience among friends and family during viewing parties.
Integration capabilities are somewhat limited, as Kast primarily focuses on its internal features for hosting and joining parties. While it supports private and public party options, the performance is marred by issues such as low video resolution and choppy streaming. Device requirements are minimal, making it accessible on most Mac systems, but the overall execution may fall short of user expectations, prompting consideration of alternative video streaming solutions.
