Rationale
Dacast is primarily a live streaming and video hosting platform, which differs from Loom's asynchronous video messaging focus. While it offers video hosting and streaming, it does not emphasize screen or camera recording for quick, shareable messages. However, it does provide features like viewer analytics, mobile app support, custom branding, password protection, enterprise security, and API access, which align with some of the 'other' features of Loom.
