About Lightstream
What is Lightstream?
Lightstream is a cloud-native live streaming software that runs entirely in your browser. It handles encoding, scene switching, and overlay injection on its servers, so you can go live without installing OBS, XSplit, or any other software. Just log in, connect your streaming destinations, and start broadcasting.
How does it work?
You stream directly from Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. Lightstream supports browser-based game capture, webcam, screen share, and pre-recorded clips. Use drag-and-drop overlays for chat, alerts, donation bars, and custom graphics. You can also invite up to 10 guests for multiplayer streams or talk shows.
Who is it for?
Lightstream is ideal for streamers who want a zero-install solution, content creators needing quick multi-platform simulcasting, and event organizers running browser-based live shows. It is not built for heavy local encoding or advanced custom plugins—those users may prefer OBS or vMix.
Real use cases
Go live on Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook simultaneously with one click. Run a TTRPG night with remote guests. Stream console gameplay from Xbox or PlayStation using cloud capture. All from a browser tab.
