Upgraded Dashboard Experience
This month, we’ve renamed the Dashboard tab to reflect what’s shown there: your Broadcasts! Your current live stream will now be shown front and center, plus you’ll have easy access to upcoming and past broadcasts when you log in. We’ve added some at-a-glance info and buttons to let you manage your upcoming and past broadcasts in fewer clicks, too.
You'll be notified if your current live stream is nearing its scheduled end time and has 10 minutes left. A new button lets you extend your broadcast by 30 minutes with one easy click. You can also bulk delete past broadcasts in the grid view.
Keep up with the latest updates and give your feedback in the BoxCast Product Portal!
What Is a CDN and Why Is It Critical to Broadcast Live Streams?
Live streaming has revolutionized the way we consume media across the world. As a result of so many users accessing, uploading, and exploring the limitless amounts of content out there, streaming servers can become strained.
That's why content delivery networks, (CDNs) were created. With a CDN, broadcasters can reach their viewers closer to where they live, cutting down on transit time and server stress.

What's BoxCast Been Up To?
The BoxCast team played hard this past month! We had a spicy chili cook-off, biked with the American Heart Association CycleNation, celebrated spooky season with costume and pumpkin contests, and got our game on (in person and virtually). Check out our fun pics!
