What Open Live is
Open Live is an open-source, browser-based platform for producing live broadcasts with multiple cameras. It combines a vision mixer, audio mixer, multiviewer, and GPU-accelerated rendering pipeline for productions coordinated through a modern browser. The vision mixer supports cuts, automatic transitions, DSK layers, picture-in-picture, graphics overlays, and fade-to-black. Audio controls include channel faders, mute, AFL/PFL monitoring, aux sends, group buses, EBU R128 loudness metering, and configurable audio-follows-video ramp times. A production can use up to 16 simultaneous EFP, SRT, or WebRTC camera sources. Open Live supports WebRTC, SRT, EFP, and WHEP, while its WebRTC multiviewer targets sub-500ms glass-to-glass monitoring latency. Teams can use Stream Deck through a Bitfocus Companion module and run the platform alongside Open Intercom. Deployment can be managed through Open Source Cloud or self-hosted on Kubernetes in cloud or on-premises environments. The service has a free plan, paid plans from €15/mo, and custom branding.
