## 1. <a name='Whoisthisfor'></a>Who is this for?

Owncast is for people who are live streamers, or who wants to host live streams for others.
Owncast is for people who are live streamers, or who wants to host live streams for others. It's a _"one to many"_ broadcast much like Twitch, Facebook Live, YouTube Live, etc.

## 2. <a name='Whoisthisnotfor'></a>Who or what is this not for?

Owncast is not for video conferencing or any use case where multiple people are wanting to see video of each other. It's also not a good choice if you have tight real-time requirements as HLS video has inherent delays.
