At NAB this year, we were on the hunt for a Facebook Live solution that fit our unique need here at Videomaker. At the time, you could only use the camera built into your smartphone to stream to Facebook. While we did find products like the Mevo and heard rumblings of what would become DJI Go’s integration with Facebook Live, we needed to be able to switch between multiple sources to present the content and information in the way we wanted.
On August 31, 2016, we are officially retiring legacy versions of Wirecast. This includes Wirecast versions 3, 4 and 5. You may continue to use your permanent licenses for legacy versions, but you will no longer qualify for customer support which includes technical inquiries, licensing issues, and compatibility questions. Moving forward we will be supporting Wirecast 6 and 7 as well as the latest operating systems, Windows 7, 8, 10, and Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite and 10.11 El Capitan.
Telestream is happy to introduce the launch of Wirecast 7.
The leading live streaming and production software. Wirecast 7, which will be available later this month, adds new powerful production capabilities, GPU-accelerated encoding, and a streamlined user interface that allows users to effortlessly create and stream high-quality live broadcasts from their computers to dozens of popular destinations such as Facebook Live and YouTube, as well as to custom streaming servers, with just a few clicks.
Wirecast 7 allows event producers to create the highest quality live-streamed productions, with multi-camera switching, graphics, titles, and live encoding. Producers often want to re-edit live shows to produce highlight reels or replays. With the new ISO recording feature, Wirecast Pro can save all original “clean” source camera media allowing an editor to easily re-purpose content, free of any overlay graphics from the original broadcast.

With OTT offerings, online platforms, as well as social media channels, such as Facebook Live and Twitter, new ways are developing to build an audience and create value for viewers,” says Dan Castles, CEO and President of Telestream.
