Hypercast

What is Hypercast?

hypercast is a tool that enables broadcasting of live peer-to-peer video streams to dat:// enabled web browsers such as Beaker Browser. When users connect to the broadcast, they begin redistributing the broadcast data amongst themselves, bypassing the need for a central broadcasting server and the significant bandwidth required to stream the same data to every user. hypercast is a fork of the hypervision app, leveraging modules from the dat:// ecosystem like hyperdrive and hyperdiscovery
