Which browsers and devices are compatible with Crowdcast?

Find out which browsers and devices work best for hosting, speaking, and attending Crowdcast events.

For the best Crowdcast experience:

  • Hosts and speakers: We recommend using a computer with Google Chrome or another Chromium-based browser.

  • Attendees: You can join from a computer, phone, or tablet using a supported browser or the Crowdcast mobile app.

For hosts and speakers

Whenever possible, we recommend hosting or speaking from a computer rather than a mobile device. Computers generally offer more processing power and access to the full range of Crowdcast features.

Recommended browsers

For the most reliable experience, use an up-to-date Chromium-based browser such as:

  • Google Chrome

  • Microsoft Edge

  • Brave

  • Opera

We recommend Google Chrome whenever possible.

Can I host using Safari?

Safari may work, but we don't recommend it for hosting or speaking at live events.

For the most reliable audio, video, screen sharing, and overall Crowdcast experience, switch to Google Chrome or another Chromium-based browser before going live.

Can I host from a phone or tablet?

You can host from a supported mobile browser if needed, but some hosting features may be limited on mobile.

For this reason, we strongly recommend using a computer when hosting or speaking at an event.

For attendees

Attendees have more flexibility and can join Crowdcast events from a:

  • Desktop or laptop computer

  • Smartphone

  • Tablet

For the best browser experience, we recommend a Chromium-based browser. Many attendees also successfully use Firefox.

Joining from a mobile device

If you're using an iPhone, iPad, or Android device, you can attend a Crowdcast event from your mobile browser or use the Crowdcast app for Android or iOS.

Before your event: Run a Tech Check

If you're hosting or speaking, we always recommend running a Tech Check before your event.

For the most useful test, use the same computer, browser, camera, microphone, and internet connection you plan to use when you go live.
