How ClosedCast works

Upload. Organize. Invite. Watch your videos privately.

ClosedCast is a private video streaming platform that turns your videos into an organized private streaming archive. Upload the videos you want to keep, group them into collections, invite the people you choose, and watch on the web or Roku.

It is built for family memories, sermons, training, lessons, team video, events, member content, and other recordings that should be easy to find and easy to watch again.

What is ClosedCast?

A private streaming home for videos that are not meant for the public internet.

ClosedCast combines private video hosting, organization, controlled sharing, and streaming in one place. The owner builds the library. Invited viewers get a simple way to watch. That is the difference between a folder full of files and a private video library people can actually use.

The complete workflow

From video file to private streaming in four clear steps.

You manage the archive. ClosedCast handles the streaming experience.

1

Upload your videos

Add the recordings that matter: family videos, sermons, training, coaching, events, lessons, interviews, or private member content.

You bring the video.
2

Organize your library

Put videos into clear collections so people can browse by topic, event, team, sermon series, training program, family milestone, or any structure you choose.

No more scattered folders.
3

Invite the right people

Share a video or collection with specific people. Access is tied to the viewer, so you do not have to publish the video or depend on an open public link.

Private sharing with control.
4

Watch on web or Roku

Approved viewers open ClosedCast, find the video they want, and press play. No large download, public feed, or maze of cloud folders is needed.

A familiar streaming experience.
One archive. Two simple experiences.

Owners stay in control. Viewers get simplicity.

Try it before you build it

The ClosedCast Test Drive opens a read-only sample library so you can browse the product, explore categories, and see the viewing experience before creating an account.

No account is required for the Test Drive.

Built for archives, not algorithms

Private video needs a different kind of home.

Public video sites are built to help content reach more people. Cloud drives are built to store files. ClosedCast is built to help the right people find and watch a private video collection over time.

What happens after upload?

You do not have to build a video server.

ClosedCast handles the video-processing and streaming work behind the scenes. You focus on the library: what belongs in it, how it is organized, and who should see it.

This makes ClosedCast a practical alternative for people who want private video streaming without setting up their own media server, transcoding system, delivery network, or custom Roku app.
