Drop protection
If your feed drops, TurboKast keeps your destinations connected and sends your card for up to 5 minutes, then switches back to live when your feed returns.
When OBS disconnects, stops sending data or freezes, TurboKast now holds your stream instead of ending it.
What happens when your feed drops
- TurboKast keeps your destinations connected and sends your card in place of your feed. Each platform decides what its viewers see.
- When your feed is back and steady, TurboKast switches every destination back to live on its own.
- Go live shows a countdown of the hold, the cause of the drop and what each destination is getting. Press End stream if you stopped on purpose.
- Facebook is closed while your feed is down and reconnected when it returns. Facebook decides whether the same live video resumes.
- TikTok LIVE gets your card for 2 minutes at most. That limit is TurboKast’s, not TikTok’s.
Your hold is now 5 minutes
Each profile has its own hold time. Existing profiles go from 60 seconds to 5 minutes. Change it, pick your card and choose how quickly TurboKast switches back under Profiles → Drop protection.
After the stream
Every drop is listed on the stream’s page with what each destination did. Share report makes a link to a page you can send to anyone. You can also choose which drop alerts you get by email or in TurboKast under Account.
