What Viibestream is

Viibestream is a free, open-source live-streaming platform that you host yourself on your own hardware or in the cloud. It broadcasts from a browser camera and microphone, or plays a video file for viewers. The public viewer page can autoplay streams and provides mute, volume, fullscreen, and live viewer-count controls. Viewers can chat with names and emoji avatars, reply, mention others, react with emoji, and use voice talk-back. Hosts can mute individual viewers or everyone, rename participants, view a roster, and apply IP bans. Streams can be protected with a code, placed behind a curtain, and assigned admin, streamer, or viewer roles. The pipeline prefers fragmented MP4 and falls back to WebM, with Apple-device playback support described by the maker. Deployment requires Docker Engine 20.10 or later, Docker Compose v2, and a modern browser for broadcasting. Viibestream is released under GNU AGPL-3.0.
