If you use OBS, I would love show you our product https://www.stream.club. We're bringing OBS into the browser, making it really easy to create live video content.

Our customers find that they can get setup in Stream Club much faster than they can with OBS, and they don't need a powerful computer to do it.

Happy to answer any questions!

Question: Why would I waste more than 10 seconds on your website if I can't create an account and try it instantly?

Great question! We like to onboard each livestreamer personally to understand their livestreaming workflow and goals. Completely understand the disdain for our ambiguous website, and would be happy to send a beta invite directly to your email if you (or anyone else on here) is willing to give it a shot!

This looks like a slightly inferior version of https://streamyard.com/ (in particular, fewer participants at each price level) - do you have any value propositions above what they offer?

Streamyard is a great company so I'll take slightly inferior as a major compliment!

We're actually have all the features of their Professional plan ($50/month) at half the cost.

The on-screen participants per live stream is something we've capped at six for usability reasons (livestreams just don't look good with 10 faces on a stream).

My particular use case depends on more than 6 participants, which is why I asked - but I think it may not be a common one.

Thanks for explaining! Hope you're able to get it into public beta soon.

edit: I also realized that "slightly inferior" was denigrating, which wasn't really how I intended it, even if you took it as a compliment. Sorry about that.

Lightstream has also been around and doing the same thing for so long that they rebranded once form their old name Infiniscene
