### Public Broadcasts

With Public Broadcasts your software is publicly available for download via the web or using native tooling. There's no authentication or hoops to jump through for users; they just get your software.

### Private Broadcasts

Create access tokens for your customers, granting them access to your software via Private Broadcasts. Once customers authenticate, they'll be able to see and download their software. It's that simple.

### Usage restrictions

Private Broadcasts have all the capabilities of Cloudsmith's entitlement tokens. Each token sets limits on the software that is accessible to customers. Define a version range, a validity period, how much bandwidth they can consume, or how many downloads they get.

### OSS Broadcasts

OSS projects can be shared via Broadcasts, along with information about the accompanying OSS license.

### Custom theme editor

Represent your business and protect your brand with our custom theme builder and brand controls.

### Bring your own domain

Reinforce trust and simplify communications; give customers access to Cloudsmith Broadcasts using your own domain name.

### Native tools

Your customers and users can, of course, download your software in their browser, but we also offer instructions on how to access packages via package managers and native tools.

### Detailed usage analytics

With Broadcasts you'll be able to closely monitor the total consumption of your software, down to the individual user and token. See what packages are gaining traction, or which users are driving more bandwidth. Use what you learn from Cloudsmith to monitor customer commitments and inform your commercial strategy.
