Hey all! We're building an open source, self-hosted alternative to the centralized live video streaming providers. We would love for you to come say hi, and see if there's anything that jives with your interests.
Are you a live streamer? Would you like to work on, or are curious about video+chat projects? Owncast is something extremely relevant in today's lockdown & stream culture. We're building something that people can use to pull themselves away from the social media gatekeepers, so they can control their live streaming content themselves.
In 2020 the world changed when everyone become stuck in their homes, looking for creative outlets to share their art, skills and themselves from inside their bedroom.
This created an explosion of live streaming on Facebook Live, YouTube Live, Instagram, and Twitch. These services provided everything they needed, an easy way to live stream to the world, and a chat for users to be a part of their community.
But in a world where many were previously finding ways to rely on the big internet service companies less, the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic made everyone run right back…
We pride ourselves on being super easy to get up and running, so if you want to help out on any features or fixes you can do it without a lot of hassle.
Example server is up at goth.land. Hope to meet some of you soon!
