You use the Stream files feature in Evercast for Mac or Windows to stream video files from your computer into an Evercast room. Here's how to do it.
-
On your computer, locate the video file you want to stream.
-
In a live room, on the bottom toolbar, click the Stream button and then Stream files.
-
The Stream files window opens. Either drag and drop a video file onto the selection area or click Browse video files to select a file on your computer. You can only select one file at a time.
-
Adjust the settings to your preferences.
If you want other participants in the room to use the playback controls, in the Playback control privileges drop-down, select All Participants (default). If you prefer to be the only one who can control playback, then select You only.
-
Click Start. The stream starts in the room.
The playback controls allow you (and other participants, depending on your settings) to play/pause the stream, or step forward/backward one frame at a time.
Hover your mouse over the progress bar to see a preview of the scene at that point.
Use the stream audio slider to control the volume for all participants (only you can see and use this feature).
-
When you’re ready to stop streaming, click Stream again, and then Stop streaming files.
