Step-by-Step Guide

How SaifCast Works

Set up automated video scheduling and pre-recorded live streaming in minutes with our clean, reliable cloud architecture.

Workflow 01

Scheduling a Video Upload

From account setup to fully automated publishing on YouTube.

1

Create your account

Sign up with email or Google in under a minute. No credit card is required to start on the Free plan.

2

Connect your YouTube channel

Navigate to Social Accounts, click "Connect YouTube", and connect your Google account. SaifCast connects securely to upload your scheduled videos, read your channel info, and manage live broadcasts.

3

Upload a video to your media library

Upload your video and custom thumbnail to your SaifCast media library in the cloud. Videos can be reused across unlimited schedules.

4

Create a schedule

Go to Schedules → "New schedule". Select your uploaded video, add title, description, tags, privacy visibility, and desired publish time.

5

Set recurrence & dynamic variables

Choose daily, weekly, or custom recurrence. Use dynamic title variables like {episode}, {date}, or sequential playlist queues.

6

Save and activate

SaifCast registers the schedule. At the exact scheduled time, SaifCast automatically publishes the video directly to your YouTube channel.

7

Monitor in Upload History

Check the execution status in History. Successful runs link directly to the published YouTube video; any failures provide one-click retry.

Workflow 02

Starting a Pre-Recorded Live Stream

Broadcast continuously without keeping OBS or your computer open.

1

Upload your source video

Store your high-resolution video in the SaifCast media library. The same video file can power both scheduled uploads and live broadcasts.

2

Create a live stream

In Live Streaming, select "New Stream". Choose your playback mode: Loop (infinite repeat), Playlist (series sequence), or Scheduled Broadcast.

3

Configure broadcast settings

Set title, broadcast description, privacy level (Public, Unlisted, Private), broadcast quality, and advance announcement settings.

4

Start now or schedule ahead

Click "Start Now" or specify a future calendar date. SaifCast plays your video on YouTube as a live stream.

5

Automatic resumption

SaifCast monitors your live stream continuously and automatically reconnects if the connection drops.

6

Stop or continuous 24/7 loop

Stop anytime from your dashboard. 24/7 non-stop streams are included in the Enterprise live plans, and available as an add-on on other live plans.
