What ChatScream is
ChatScream is a multi-destination streaming studio that runs on a device users already carry. It can send streams to YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, TikTok, Kick, X, Rumble, LinkedIn, and custom RTMP destinations. Six scene layouts are available: full camera, full screen, picture-in-picture, split, newsroom, and portrait. Production controls include program and preview switching, a media bin, audio mixer, broadcast graphics, and automatic captions with a running transcript. The studio records locally in chunks while streaming and stores recordings in a device library. Comments from connected destinations merge into one stream, with an AI moderator users configure. Remote guests can join through WebRTC without installing anything. Timestamped evidence markers can be exported with recordings. The phone layout is designed for one-thumb use and installs as a PWA. Stream keys stay server-side. Cloud broadcasting is still in development.
