Frequently asked questions
Does my computer need to stay on?
No. Once a stream is scheduled, StreamCloud starts a cloud machine for it at the right time and streams from there. Your computer can be off.
Where does the video come from?
From your own Google Drive. You connect it once, and StreamCloud can only see the files you explicitly pick with Google's file picker - nothing else in your Drive.
What happens when the video ends?
In Play Once mode the stream ends when the video does (or at your plan's maximum length, whichever comes first). In Loop mode it repeats the video until the length you chose is reached, then stops.
Is there a limit on stream length?
Yes - every plan has a maximum single-stream length and a monthly total, shown on the Pricing page. StreamCloud does not offer unlimited streaming.
Do you post to my YouTube channel without asking?
No. Every stream is one you scheduled yourself, on a channel you connected. StreamCloud never creates a broadcast you did not ask for.
Is StreamCloud affiliated with YouTube or Google?
No. StreamCloud is an independent product that uses the YouTube and Google Drive APIs with your permission. It is not endorsed by or affiliated with YouTube or Google.
