Rooms, not a feed
A room is a link and a guest list. Nobody finds you by searching, nothing is recommended to anybody, and there is no “discover” tab to argue about.
Private live video · invite-only
A small live-video platform for friends: film nights, jam sessions, book clubs, the quiz nobody wins. One room, your people, no ads and no strangers.

A room is a link and a guest list. Nobody finds you by searching, nothing is recommended to anybody, and there is no “discover” tab to argue about.
Two delivery paths: HLS for a room full of different phones, and a low-latency gateway for the moments when a round of laughter matters more than crisp pixels. It steps down instead of freezing.
Up to 4K passthrough. What you send is what your friends receive, minus the packaging — no re-encode tax on the way out.
Pick a name, write down who is invited. That is the whole setup; there is no organisation, no workspace, no admin to hand over.
OBS, ffmpeg, or the browser. One ingest key per room, one hostname to remember.
They open the link, the stream starts, the side chat is already there. Nothing is recorded unless you press the button.
Five evenings from the last month. Recordings are the only thing that outlives a room, and only if the host asks for them.
We tried the big platforms for our film club and spent more time arguing about accounts and region locks than watching anything. Now it is one link on a Saturday and everyone already knows how it works.
An unpaid account would be paid for by advertising or by watching the audience. €9 a month, cancelled any time.
