Phantom Stream
Opening soon

Your whole live show, in one browser tab.

Run it alone, with a co-host, or with a full panel. It's all the same tab, and there's nothing to install for you or your guests.

Just your email. We'll tell you the price and the day it opens. Unsubscribe any time. Privacy

Go live to YouTube or any RTMP destination. Sending to several platforms at once is coming.

Open a tab and you're in your studio

No software to install. No scenes to build from nothing. No guest stuck on setup five minutes before you start.

Good tools can do a lot, but they ask you to become your own technician first.

Phantom Stream starts somewhere else: you open a tab, and the studio is there.

Make every show look like a broadcast

Layouts

Eight to pick from, or build your own and save it to your account.

Tickers

Scrolling, static, tape and breaking news styles.

Screen share and media

Show a tab, or play a video or audio file on stage.

Overlays

Bring in alerts and widgets by URL, then drag them where you want them.

Timers

Run several clocks at once and put them on stage.

Your look

Your own colors, backgrounds and nameplates.

Pick a look, paste your stream key, and go live. If you already love OBS, keep it. Your stage drops in as a browser source.

Bring anyone on, and stay in control

Send a link. Your guest needs no app and no account, and they can join from a laptop or a phone browser. They come in through a door you control.

At the door

They set up their mic and camera, then knock. You let them in or you don't.

Backstage

They're in the room but off air. Check their sound and tell them what's coming. Your audience hears none of it.

On stage

One click puts them on. Their camera stays held until you approve it.

If it goes wrong

Take them off stage, remove them, or ban them from the room.

A live show has no edit button

Two people talk over each other. Your chat can't follow a word. You're hunting for a mute button while still trying to host.

Baton Mode

One person holds the baton and only they can be heard. It passes on when the clock runs out.

Timed mute

Mute someone for 30 seconds or a minute. A countdown shows on their tile, and their mic comes back when it ends.

Debate layout

Two named sides, matchups in turn, and a running clock.

Co-hosts

Hand someone the controls so they can work the door while you talk.

Built by someone who uses it

I built Phantom Stream, and I use it for my own live show. So when something isn't right, I'm the first to hit it.

It's a small operation. You'll get a straight answer about what it can and can't do.

How it compares

OBS

Powerful, and you don't have to give it up. Phantom Stream can feed your finished stage into it.

Bigger browser studios

They've been around longer, and many can send to several platforms at once. Phantom Stream can't do that yet, so if you need it today, use one of them.

Choose Phantom Stream if you want a real show from a browser, and tools for running the room if you ever put someone else in it.

What it costs and when it opens

Phantom Stream is a paid product. There's no free plan, because live video costs real money to run, and I'd rather say that now than surprise you later.

The price isn't set yet. Join the waiting list and you'll get one email when it opens, with the price and what's included. Then you decide.

Joining costs nothing and asks for no card.

Questions

Do I need guests to use it?

No. Run your show alone, or bring people on whenever you want.

When does it open?

There's no public date yet. Everyone on the waiting list gets an email the day it opens.

What will it cost?

The price isn't set. There's no free plan, and you'll see the price before you pay anything.

Will you spam me?

No. You'll get a confirmation now, then an email when it opens. Unsubscribe any time.

Does it stream everywhere at once?

Not yet. It goes to one destination at a time: YouTube, or any service that gives you an RTMP address and stream key.

Can I keep using OBS?

Yes. Copy your stage link into OBS as a browser source.

What quality does it stream at?

720p at 30 frames per second by default, which is the steadiest option. You can choose 1080p.

Is my stream key safe?

It's sent once to start your broadcast and isn't stored on our server. If you tick Remember, it stays in your own browser.

Does it record my show?

No. Your copy is the saved stream on your platform, or a recording in OBS.

Will a guest who isn't technical manage?

They click a link, pick their mic and camera, and enter a name. Phones work too, though phones can't share a screen.

Run your next show from one tab

When it opens, you get:
