Want to Upgrade Your Existing Web App?

Existing Web Apps will not be automatically updated to the new framework.

Because the updated experience includes significant visual and interface changes, existing clients will have the opportunity to review the new experience before requesting an upgrade to their Web App.

If you would like to upgrade your existing Web App for free*, please contact our Customer Care Team at customercare@lightcast.com. We’ll be happy to help you review your current Web App and guide you through the upgrade process.

  • New Web Apps will launch using the updated Web App experience.



Enjoy the new Web App experience — and happy streaming!
