The best CasparCG resources
Last update: 15/4/2022
This will be a post that will be updated when I find or make some new recourses for using CasparCG within a broadcast. Leave a comment if you think there is a recourse missing or if one needs updating. Most of the recourses I still use on a regular basis.

A very noobie question: I downloaded Client-next-zip. -file from Github. And as it says:
“No installation required, just move the program to a suitable location and
start it.”
I extracted zip-file to program files. What I don’t find or understad is: in where the actual Client -application is inside that Clien-next -folder?
Aha apparently you cannot download it there anymore (it used to be under releases). Here is a version of the client that I often use. Otherwise, you can look at the releases of the server if they released more. I will update the post.
