Procaster for Mac

Fast, flexible streaming on macOS

Procaster is a free application for macOS that combines screen capture and live broadcasting. It makes it simple to record video or stream directly to an audience while offering control over visual quality and layout.

Supported input types

• Video games and gaming consoles
• Full desktop or specific application windows
• Connected webcams for face-cam footage
• External digital cameras and capture devices

Configurable output options

You can tailor broadcasts by changing resolution, aspect ratio, and other display parameters so streams look sharp and match platform requirements. These controls help ensure consistent output whether you’re recording locally or streaming live.

Interaction and streaming flow

Procaster’s interface is designed to be approachable for newcomers while still useful for frequent streamers. An integrated chat window lets viewers send messages in real time, helping hosts maintain engagement during live sessions.

Who benefits most

• Educators running lectures or live tutorials
• Gamers broadcasting gameplay and commentary
• Presenters sharing demos or workshops remotely
• General content creators wanting easy live-stream setups

Recommended alternative

• Microsoft Teams (free) — a solid choice when you need meeting-focused collaboration and built-in participant tools rather than public broadcast features.
