Cecula Stream
Cecula Stream runs online TV channels. A channel streams all the time. It plays videos from your rotation playlists, airs scheduled broadcasts at their start times, and carries live feeds from OBS, vMix, a browser or a phone. Viewers watch on your channel's watch page, in a player on your website, or on other platforms you simulcast to.
