Overview

Lightstream Studio is a cloud-based live streaming platform accessible entirely through a web browser, requiring only a computer and internet connection to begin streaming. It eliminates the need for downloads, powerful hardware, or capture cards by handling console capture, remote guest integration, and multi-platform simulcasting directly in the browser. The platform emphasizes unrestricted creative control through customizable scenes, layouts, and projects, supported by cloud storage and real-time synchronization. Users can stream from anywhere, including remote locations or mobile devices, with automatic stream persistence if internet connectivity drops temporarily.

Core Strengths:

  • Enables browser-based streaming with no downloads required.
  • Supports console streaming from Xbox and PlayStation without capture cards.
  • Allows simulcasting to up to 5 platforms simultaneously. 
  • Includes drag-and-drop overlay editor for stream customization.
  • Provides built-in alerts for chat, donations, and engagement tools.
  • Supports adding up to 10 live guests in streams (premium tier).
  • Offers cloud-based scenes and templates for fast setup.
  • Keeps streams running via cloud even if local connection drops.

  • IRL (in-real-life) mobile streaming setups
