01 / HOW IT WORKS

Introducing a no hassle way to host your live radio show.

Playout is everything a presenter needs in one browser tab and it works with your existing cloud radio provider.
PLAYLISTS & AUTOFILL

Know what’s playing. Decide what’s next.

Queue music and production audio into a live playlist, reorder the show on the fly, or let autofill build a queue, so you spend less time guessing and more time hosting.

Upload your library direct to Playout and drag and drop your audio files into playlist to curate the show yourself.

MIC & TALKOVER

Mic live.

Choose your connected USB microphone or audio device, manage your levels and use talk-over to lower the music when you speak on mic. Your voice deserves the floor.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are quick answers to all your questions about Playout. Still need some help?
‍Get in touch

What is Playout?
A red plus symbol.

Playout, also known as Playout.co, is a browser-based live radio production desk by Radio.co. It lets you create professional live shows - including ordering & playing audio, firing carts, talking on mic and editing transitions - and stream them to your online station. It works with any radio hosting platform.

Do I need to install any broadcasting software?
A red plus symbol.

No. Playout runs in your web browser. There’s no broadcasting software or app you need to download. You just need a compatible desktop browser (e.g. Chrome, Microsoft Edge) and any audio equipment you want to use, such as a microphone or audio interface.

Do I need a Radio.co account to use Playout?
A red plus symbol.

No, you don't need a Radio.co account to use Playout. You can use Playout as a standalone tool with plans starting from $19.95 per month. Alternatively, Playout is included in all Radio.co Standard and above plans.

Who can access Playout?
A red plus symbol.

All online broadcasters can use Playout as a standalone tool. Radio.co clients on Standard and above plans have Playout included in their subscriptions.  

How does going live with Playout work?
A red plus symbol.

Go to Settings> Station Settings and paste in your stream connection details from your radio hosting provider and hit save.

For Radio.co clients, you simply select your Radio.co station, prepare your show, and click Go Live when you’re ready to broadcast.
‍
Once Playout is live, the programme you create, including music, microphone, audio and carts, is sent to your station for your listeners to hear.

Can I use my existing Radio.co music and media?
A red plus symbol.

For Radio.co clients, Playout connects to your Radio.co media library, so you can use your existing tracks, tags, and production audio when preparing a live show.

For standalone users, Playout only uses the audio you upload to it.

Can I use Playout alongside Radio.co's automated scheduling?
A red plus symbol.

Yes. Radio.co Studio can continue to handle your automated station schedule, while Playout is designed for the moments when you want to take over and present a show live. Both work with the same Radio.co station.

Make your next
show your best one.
