On paid plans, XtreamCast does not cap concurrent viewers: what you size is monthly transfer. You get alerts at 80% and 100% and can top up instantly from the dashboard, with no automatic overage charges; if you do not top up, service pauses until renewal. Recordings, VOD and Live Station share the plan storage. Service terms.
