Your own name in the footer of your creator site
On the PRO and VIP plans, the pages of your creator site end with your name instead of a platform credit line.
On the PRO and VIP plans, the footer of your site's pages shows no "Powered by DCAST" line.
On the PRO and VIP plans, your site's footer carries your name and not the DCAST brand.
Many creators want their site to feel like their own brand, from the first screen down to the last line of the page.
The platform decides this from your plan on the server, so the footer does not depend on a setting someone could forget to switch.
Visitors never receive your plan details: the page is only told whether to hide the platform credit.
On FREE and STAR, the footer keeps the platform credit exactly as it was.
Check that your display name is the one you want visitors to remember, because the footer shows your name.
A site without a platform credit is easier to present as your own business to sponsors, clients and partners.
Moving from STAR to PRO removes the credit from your footer without any redesign on your part.
Both footer layouts of the creator site, the minimal one and the standard one, follow this rule.
On a PRO or VIP site the footer shows your display name and does not mention DCAST at all.
A plan that is unknown or missing never counts as a paid plan, so the platform credit stays until the plan is confirmed.
The platform credit stays in the footer unless your plan grants white label, whatever your display name is.
Decide whether your site should present itself as your own studio or as a page of the platform, and choose the plan that matches.
Your site ends with your own name, not with a line about us.
Your site reads as your own business, which matters when you show it to sponsors and clients.
Your creator site gives your audience one address of your own for your videos and live broadcasts, and the player on it follows your broadcasts by itself.
Once your site is active, links to your watch pages and embeds are addressed on your site instead of the general platform address.
While your site is not active, share links keep using the platform address, so nobody receives a link that does not open.
With live broadcasts shown on your site, a visitor who already has it open sees your broadcast start without reloading the page.
When one broadcast ends and the next one begins, the player on your site switches to the new broadcast by itself.
If the platform is briefly unable to answer, your site keeps your name instead of switching to the platform brand.
