FastCast v0.3.2 — Open Beta. Free during the open beta. A native Windows screen recorder and live streamer focused on reliable local recording and custom RTMP/RTMPS streaming.

Download

  • FastCast-0.3.2-win-x64.zip — portable, no installer. Extract and run fastcast.exe.
  • FastCast-0.3.2-win-x64.zip.sha256 — checksum to verify the download.

SHA-256: fb48f1edc0798753f8a06a2c5aca5ccf39f135b4ba4da38d20e1b7386542a29e

Verify in PowerShell:

Get-FileHash .\FastCast-0.3.2-win-x64.zip -Algorithm SHA256

The build is unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may warn "unknown publisher" — click More info → Run anyway if you trust the download source.

What's new in v0.3.2

  • Packaging / license-notice cleanup only — no recording behavior changes. The app works identically to v0.3.1.
  • FastCast is now packaged as proprietary software: the ZIP ships a proprietary LICENSE.txt and a THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt instead of app-level LICENSE-MIT / LICENSE-APACHE files.
  • Everything from v0.3.1 carries forward — the AMD hardware H.264 fix (Main profile, B-frames pinned to 0; validated on Radeon RX 6700 XT and RX 7900 XTX), the security/privacy audit cleanup, the RTMPS hint, and the public-feed manual update checker.

Privacy

No telemetry, no accounts, no crash upload, no background polling, no auto-update. Your stream key is never saved to disk. Support bundles are local-only and redacted. The only network activity is streaming to your chosen ingest and the manual Check for Updates.

Requirements

Windows 10 (20H1+) or Windows 11, x64. A GPU with hardware H.264 encoding (NVIDIA / AMD / Intel) is strongly recommended; a software fallback is included but slower.

Notes

Currently free during open beta; a Pro version may be added later for advanced creator features (nothing is gated today). FastCast is a focused single-scene tool — no scene system, chroma key, platform OAuth, or multistream yet.
