Launch your own live video and chat server. Broadcast with popular software, own your content, and engage your community on your terms. Free and open source.

Create your own independent live streaming platform. This free and open source server gives you complete control and ownership over your stream, allowing you to build the content and community you envision, free from the rules of major platforms.

Engage your audience directly with a frictionless built-in chat, complete with custom emotes to foster a unique community vibe. It seamlessly integrates with your favorite broadcasting software, so you can point your existing tools at your server and start streaming in minutes.

Key advantages include:

  • Self-Hosted Independence: Own your content and your platform.
  • Integrated Chat: Build your community with real-time interaction.
  • Software Compatibility: Use tools you already know, like OBS.
  • Fediverse Reach: Connect with a wider audience on Mastodon and other services.
