Kast is an online watch party app under Evasyst, Inc., positioned as a “virtual living room.” Users can watch movies, TV, games, or other content together with friends, while using screen sharing, camera, voice, text, and video chat within the same party. Unlike traditional email, SMS notification, or marketing communications services, Kast is more focused on real-time interaction and online social entertainment.
In terms of channels, Kast supports IM-style text chat, voice, video chat, camera, and screen sharing, but the captured text does not show support for email, SMS, enterprise messaging APIs, or similar capabilities. For capacity, up to 20 people can share their screen or camera, while another 100 people can watch as viewers. The platform supports Chrome/Edge in the browser, PC, Mac, iOS, and Android. On mobile, users can watch, turn on camera and microphone, host parties, and play Kast TV content, but screen sharing is limited to web and desktop. Premium provides HD streaming, no ads, picture-in-picture, GIFs, animated reactions, and cleaner invite links.
Kast can be used for free and also offers Base or Premium subscriptions. Free users can watch, access free Kast TV content, and share their screen with a watermark; Premium unlocks ad-free viewing, HD video, the Kast TV content library, and more. The text does not disclose specific pricing. The terms state that subscriptions may be monthly or annual, renew automatically, require a valid payment method including credit cards, and are processed through third-party payment processors. After cancellation, access remains available until the end of the billing period, and the policy explicitly states that there are no refunds.
Kast has Terms of Service, a Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, and a Copyright Policy. The minimum age for use is 13, while in some EU countries it is 14, 15, or 16. The terms prohibit spam, illegal activity, infringing content, harassment, malware, automated scraping, and unauthorized connections, and reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate accounts. Kast also states that it may monitor and record service usage, including chats, text, or voice communications.
The advantages are a clearly defined use case, low barrier to entry, multi-platform support, and an integrated experience combining watch parties, voice, and chat. Kast TV cloud playback can also reduce the inconvenience of local screen sharing. The downsides are that there is no disclosed SLA, latency, availability, or delivery-rate metrics, and no visible enterprise integration information such as APIs, Webhooks, or SDKs. Pricing is not transparent, subscriptions auto-renew, and there are no refunds. Kast is suitable for remote movie nights with friends, small online entertainment communities, and informal gatherings. It is not suitable for email campaigns, SMS notifications, customer-service IM, or enterprise communications infrastructure.
The text does not provide information on access from mainland China, payment availability, or local compliance, so this remains unknown. If using it in China, users should test network connectivity, audio/video stability, and credit card payment availability themselves. Depending on the scenario, alternatives may include Discord, Zoom, Google Meet, Teleparty, or Microsoft Teams.
