Castio.live – WordPress Streaming Plugin with Chat (HLS)

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 59% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 30+ in roughly 76 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Je ne pensais pas que ce serait si fluide ! Le live fonctionne bien et directement, sans installation supplémentaire de l’extension.

   I’ve tested several live streaming solutions for WordPress, and Castio.live is by far the most complete and easy-to-use plugin I’ve found. The HLS integration works perfectly, the real-time chat is smooth and responsive, and the interface looks clean on both desktop and mobile. The vertical resize between video and chat is a great touch, and the smart scroll system (with new message notification) makes the user experience much better during active streams. Installation was straightforward, performance is solid, and everything integrates natively inside WordPress without complicated external setups. If you’re looking for a professional live streaming + chat solution directly inside WordPress, Castio.live is an excellent choice. Highly recommended
