Keep Your Videos Private. Watch Them on Roku.
ClosedCast turns important videos into a private video archive you control. Organize your library, invite the people you choose, and enjoy private streaming video on the web or Roku TV without public feeds, ads, or algorithm-driven distractions.
Built for archives, not algorithms. Learn how ClosedCast works or review our trust and security approach.
Private video keeps the moments that matter with the people who matter.
Private video is video shared with a controlled audience instead of the public internet. You decide who can watch.
Private video gives you a way to keep meaningful recordings available to the people they were actually intended for — without placing them into a public feed, recommendation system, or open social network.
Instead of asking, “How do I publish this?”, private video starts with a different question: “Who should be able to watch this?”
ClosedCast gives families, churches, teams, businesses, and organizations a private video platform built around controlled access and repeat viewing.
Videos can become part of an organized private video archive instead of remaining scattered across phones, cloud folders, hard drives, emails, and temporary links.
Invited viewers can return to the same private library and watch through the web or Roku, creating a private streaming experience that feels more like a personal streaming service than file sharing.

Storage keeps a file. An archive keeps it findable and watchable.
Private videos are often scattered across phones, hard drives, cloud folders, shared drives, social platforms, and forgotten links. The files may still exist, but over time they become harder to find, share, and revisit.
A private video archive gives those recordings a lasting home with organization, controlled access, search, and streaming playback. That is the problem ClosedCast is built to solve.
Why ClosedCast is built for archives →Choose the tool built for the outcome you actually want.
ClosedCast is not trying to replace every video platform. It is purpose-built for private streaming archives.
