About Lightstream

Lightstream lets you broadcast live video from a browser tab, not a dedicated streaming rig. It handles encoding, scene switching, and overlay injection on its servers, so your laptop fan stays quiet.

What it does

You log in, connect your streaming destinations (Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, etc.), and start broadcasting from a web interface. It supports browser-based game capture, webcam, and screen share, plus dynamic overlays like chat, alerts, and donation tickers.

Best for

Streamers who want to go live without installing OBS or XSplit
Content creators needing quick multi-platform simulcasting
Event organizers running browser-based live shows

Strengths

Real-time overlay editor with drag-and-drop widgets
Supports simultaneous broadcast to multiple platforms
