Webcast received a mixed to negative reception from critics, with many pointing to its derivative plot and predictable scares. However, some found its found-footage style and self-aware commentary on internet fame to be mildly interesting. Audience reception was similarly divided, with some appreciating the tension and others finding it to be a formulaic entry into the found-footage horror genre.

• Praised for its attempt to tap into contemporary anxieties about online fame and surveillance.

• Criticized for relying heavily on familiar horror tropes and lacking originality.
