Private live video · invite-only

Your circle, on the same screen

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 on Emberroom: the film playing, the guest chat on the right.
Saturday film night — nine people, one stream, no accounts to create.

Three things, done properly

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.

Playback that survives a bad line

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.

Your upload is the only limit

Up to 4K passthrough. What you send is what your friends receive, minus the packaging — no re-encode tax on the way out.

How an evening works

  1. Make a room

    Pick a name, write down who is invited. That is the whole setup; there is no organisation, no workspace, no admin to hand over.

  2. Go live from anything

    OBS, ffmpeg, or the browser. One ingest key per room, one hostname to remember.

  3. Watch together

    They open the link, the stream starts, the side chat is already there. Nothing is recorded unless you press the button.

Rooms that look like rooms

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.

Two plans, no free tier

An unpaid account would be paid for by advertising or by watching the audience. €9 a month, cancelled any time.
