    Comments about Hyperbeam as an Alternative to Kast

    Kast doesn't really do anything ground breaking that discord streaming won't give me. However Hyperbeam filled the problem of wanting to watch movies with my friends and being able to switch control so others could show off what they wanted. The people running Hyperbeam care about their customers as well!

    In reality, Hyperbeam is the main platform and Kast is the alternative. Much easier and better for watching together with friends. Beautiful UI, everything from text to voice chat and no paywalls.
