What ChatScream is
ChatScream is a streaming studio for sending broadcasts to multiple destinations from a device you already carry. It lists YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, TikTok, Kick, X, Rumble, LinkedIn, and custom RTMP as destinations. Its scene engine has six layouts: full camera, full screen, picture-in-picture, split, newsroom, and portrait. Production tools include program and preview switching, a media bin, audio mixer, broadcast graphics, and automatic captions with a running transcript. ChatScream records locally in chunks while streaming and saves recordings to a library on the device. Comments from connected destinations merge into one stream for reading or display, with an AI moderator users configure. Remote guests can join by WebRTC without installing anything. For field reporting, timestamped evidence markers can be exported with a recording. The phone layout is designed for one-thumb use and installs as a PWA. Stream keys are handled server-side and are not exposed to the browser; users can connect with OAuth or paste a key. Cloud broadcasting is in development and not yet available. The free plan has two destinations, 720p, a watermark, and 1 GB DVR storage; paid plans begin at $19 a month.
