Q: use cases?
I'm honestly confused. How is this different/better than hosting a meeting on Zoom, and then posting a recording on your site?

Jul 21, 2025A: Zoom is mainly built for interactive meetings and webinars. It usually opens in a separate app and has viewer limits unless you’re on a higher plan.
ZenStream is built for one-to-many live broadcasts that you can embed directly on your site or app. It supports 50,000+ viewers, provides HD streaming, offers DVR (pause, rewind, replay), and even lets you use Zoom as an input if needed.
If your goal is to embed the stream directly on your website and keep viewers on your platform, ZenStream is ideal.
molukaiPLUSSo how is this any different than YouTube, which is free?
YouTube is for public streams and discovery on their platform. ZenStream provides full control over your own site, streams can be restricted to your domain, only your authenticated users can be made to chat, and each live stream is auto-recorded for later publishing. You also get DVR (pause/rewind live), parallel streams, and no ads, just your content and your audience.
