  • Fonctionne bien !

    Je ne pensais pas que ce serait si fluide ! Le live fonctionne bien et directement, sans installation supplémentaire de l'extension.

  • Powerful Live Streaming + Chat Plugin – Exactly What I Needed

    I’ve tested several live streaming solutions for WordPress, and Castio.live is by far the most complete and easy-to-use plugin I’ve found. The HLS integration works perfectly, the real-time chat is smooth and responsive, and the interface looks clean on both desktop and mobile. The vertical resize between video and chat is a great touch, and the smart scroll system (with new message notification) makes the user experience much better during active streams. Installation was straightforward, performance is solid, and everything integrates natively inside WordPress without complicated external setups. If you’re looking for a professional live streaming + chat solution directly inside WordPress, Castio.live is an excellent choice. Highly recommended
