Overlays from the Stream designer

Drag platform badges, text, images and a live chat box onto the canvas. Changes show on stream straight away.

Chat from every platform on screen

Comments from the platforms you stream to land in one chat box, so you can answer everyone from one place.

The value you get per dollar is amazing. Many features are available at no cost when other similar services charge for them or do not have them available at all.

OBS, a browser studio like StreamYard, or Upstream Live Studio

OBS runs on your computer. Browser studios like StreamYard and Restream Studio don't, but most stop when the show ends. Upstream adds 24/7 and scheduled streams to the same place.
