Wirecast is a live video streaming production tool by Telestream. It allows users to create live or on-demand broadcasts for the web.

Wirecast works like a video switcher, controlling real-time switching between multiple live video cameras, while dynamically mixing in other source media, such as QuickTime movies, music, audio and slides to create professional broadcast productions for live or on-demand distribution on the web.
