Post your video where the audience already is.
A video platform with viewers on it. Post, and the front page, the trending row, topic browsing and search put you in front of people who have never heard of you. Upload, trim it on a timeline, go live, and send the same file out to the platforms you already publish on.
A Place to Watch, and a Place to Be Watched
Free to view for anyone who lands on it. Post to it, and the platform is what carries you to people who were not looking for you.
Watch
A home feed, shorts, live, and subscriptions.
Get Found
Trending, topics, spotlights and search across the platform.
Channels
The channels you run and what sits on each.
Upload
Get the video in and let it process itself.
Go Live
Stream straight from the browser to your channel.
The Editor
A timeline editor for cutting what you shot.
Delivery
Up to 4K, adaptive, with the master kept as yours.
Distribution
Out to wherever else you already publish.
Audience
Who watched, for how long, and where they stopped.
Open it and there is already something to watch.
The free side. It opens on a home feed rather than a search box, and everything on that feed was posted by somebody else on the platform. Browse by category, see what is trending, scroll a vertical shorts feed, drop into whatever is live, and search across all of it. Watching costs nothing and needs no account. Signing in is what adds the things that are yours.
Discover
A home feed on arrival, plus browse, trending, a vertical shorts feed, live now, community and search across every channel on the platform.
Player
A full player with title, description and creator. Like, save and comment. Watch signed out, or sign in to keep what you did.
Your library
Every viewer keeps their own subscriptions, saved library, continue-watching and history.

Somebody who has never heard of you finds the video anyway.
You are not posting into an empty room. Every upload lands on a platform that already has viewers on it, with a front page, a trending row, topic browsing and a search box they are all using.
Trending
The videos people are watching right now, on the way in, ranked by what is actually being watched. A video that catches gets carried by the platform rather than by your promotion budget.
The home feed
Everybody arrives on a feed rather than a search box, so a new upload has somewhere to appear on the day you post it.
Topics
Everything is browsable by topic. Somebody looking for what you make finds the shelf it sits on without knowing your name.
Spotlights
Featured channels get a spotlight on the front page, so the platform can put a channel in front of people rather than wait to be searched for.
Search
One search across every video and every channel on the platform, not only across yours.
Subscriptions and notifications
Anyone who follows you is told when you post, go live, or reply. The next upload does not start from zero.
Like it, save it, say something about it.
The watch page is the product for everyone who is not uploading. Likes and saves go to a library that is theirs, comments sit under the video, and a related row means finishing one thing leads to the next.
That is what a viewer opens. This is what you get to post with.
Run more than one channel without losing track.
Channels are the containers for your video content. Create a channel, customize its name, description, and branding. Manage all your channels from one list. Open a channel to see its videos, settings, and performance. One business can run multiple channels, a main channel, a tutorial channel, a behind-the-scenes channel, each with its own identity.
Channel List
All your channels in one view. Name, video count, follower count. Create new channels from the list.
Channel Detail
Open a channel and see everything: videos, settings, branding, performance. Edit channel metadata. Manage the channel’s content library.

Drag a video. Set the details. Choose visibility. Publish.
A four-step wizard. Drag the file in or browse for it, and the upload survives an interruption. Set the title, description, tags, category and thumbnail. Choose public, unlisted, private, or scheduled for a time you pick. Publish, and it is live.
Upload
Drag the file in. The upload resumes where it stopped, so a dropped connection costs you the chunk and not the file.
Details
The title fills in from the filename. Add a description, tags, a category and a thumbnail.
Visibility
Public, unlisted, private, or scheduled for a date and time you set.
Publish
Review and publish. The video processes and appears on your channel.
Drag & drop your video

Point your encoder at it and you are on.
Set a title, description and category for the stream, then point any encoder or hardware at the RTMP endpoint and start. Viewers are watching about three seconds behind the room. The panel shows live status, viewer count as it moves, how long you have been on, and the control that stops it.
Stream Configuration
Title, description, and category for the live stream. Set the metadata before you go live.
Stream Key & RTMP URL
A unique stream key and RTMP URL for your encoder. Show or hide the key, and copy either to your clipboard.
Live Dashboard
Live/offline status indicator. Real-time viewer count polling. Stream duration. Start and stop controls.
Getting it up is one thing. Making it worth watching is the work.
Cut it down before anybody has to sit through it.
A timeline for trimming, clips pulled out of longer cuts, chapters so people can skip, and captions so they can follow without sound.
Cut it down, mark it up, and let people follow without sound.
Three production tools. The video editor opens a timeline view for trimming: set start and end points, cut the clip, export. Chapters add named markers to a video timeline. Viewers jump to specific sections. Captions manage subtitles: add, edit, and sync caption tracks to video content.
Video Editor
Timeline editor for trimming video. Set trim points. Preview. Export.
Chapters
Named markers on the video timeline. Add chapter titles and timestamps. Viewers see a chapter list and jump to any point.
Captions
Subtitle and caption management. Add caption tracks. Edit timing and text. Sync captions to video.
Your video, at every size a connection can take.
Send a file up to 30 GB and 24 hours long. It comes back as six streams from 240p to 4K, and the player hands over whichever one the viewer's connection can actually play.
The master stays in your own file store, so what you keep is the file you uploaded and not a copy of it. Uploads go straight from the browser and pick up where the connection dropped. Delivery is adaptive over a CDN, with a full-quality MP4 beside it for anyone who needs the file itself.
Upload once. Publish wherever you already publish.
Straight to your YouTube channel over a connected account, out to your social accounts, and onto your own pages, screens and apps.
See what went out, and what did not.
Connect your YouTube channel once and push videos straight to it. Send them out to the social accounts you already have connected. Drop them onto your own pages, apps, and screens with an embed snippet. One board tells you what is connected, what has published, and what has not.
YouTube
Connect YouTube over OAuth and upload your Calisto-hosted videos straight to your channel.
Social
Share a video to your connected social accounts through Calisto Impreta.
Your Own Pages
Drop a video onto a website page, into a mobile app, or onto a screen in a room, with one embed snippet.

ConnectedWho watched, who stayed, and who keeps coming back.
Views, watch time, engagement, and how each moved over time. Beside it, who follows your channels, when they started, and when they last watched something of yours. Comments come through a moderation queue rather than straight onto the video. Following costs nothing, and pre-roll and mid-roll ad slots run against your videos when you want them to.
Analytics
Viewer metrics over time. Views, watch time, engagement rates. Content performance.
Followers
Follower roster with name, email, channel, date followed, and when they last watched. Follows cost nothing, and there is no paywall.

Questions about Calisto TV
Both. A home feed, shorts, live, subscriptions and a player that remembers where you stopped, plus upload, streaming, a timeline editor and distribution out to wherever else you publish.
Yes. Distribution goes outward to the platforms you already use, so your own app and the public platforms are two destinations rather than two workflows.
In the shared file store, which is why a clip can be dropped onto a site, a screen or a kiosk without being uploaded a second time.
Yes, with metadata. Subscriber counts on third-party platforms stay with those platforms, since they were never yours to move.
The pricing section on this page reads the live catalogue and is the authority. TV works without the rest of Calisto Create.
Yes. Masters and edits export from the shared store in original formats.
