CSTV allows you to broadcast games live with a slight delay. This means that outsiders who are not involved in the game can follow what is happening on the server. This technology is also used in well-known Counter-Strike tournaments so that viewers can watch the action. Additionally, broadcasts can be automatically saved, allowing you to watch them again at any time.
The commands above are mandatory to activate and make the CSTV master server reachable. However, there are additional commands for extended configuration:
