What ApexStream is
ApexStream is a web workspace for producing live shows, sending a broadcast to multiple destinations, and working with recordings afterward. Direct account connections and chat in Web Studio are available for YouTube Live, Facebook Live, and Twitch. Instagram Live, TikTok LIVE, X, LinkedIn Live, and other compatible services require stream details provided by those platforms. Web Studio guests can join through a browser link without downloading software or creating a separate guest account. The Free plan includes two connected channels, two simultaneous destinations, streams up to two hours, and five guests. Paid plans start with Hobby at $25 a month; Creator is $60 a month and includes AI Clips, which finds short moments in finished recordings and prepares vertical reframing for export. Podcast Studio is included with Scale at $199 a month and Enterprise, or available as a $15 USD/month add-on for Hobby and Creator; it is not available on Free. Creator, Scale, and Enterprise accept SRT and WHIP inputs, but outgoing SRT destinations cannot currently be enabled. Live output is limited to 30 frames per second on every plan.
