JamKazam
JamKazam lets musicians play live with one another over the Internet from home.
What JamKazam is
JamKazam lets musicians play live with one another over the Internet from home. Its online sessions use proprietary patented technologies that the maker describes as low latency. Users can schedule sessions, join open jams, and search for musicians by interests, instruments, proficiency, and connection latency. JamTracks are multitrack recordings whose individual parts can be muted or soloed for practice and playing along. Users can record sessions and broadcast performances through YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch, with availability depending on plan. JamKazam says it integrates with YouTube API Services and can upload recordings to YouTube. Joining online sessions requires the JamKazam app; the maker identifies its current version as compatible with Windows 10 and 11 and macOS 10.15 or later. The app guides users through choosing, configuring, and testing audio gear, and setup instructions recommend connecting the computer to the router by Ethernet. New users receive 30 days of Gold features before the selected plan applies. Plans include Free at no cost, Silver at $4.99 a month, Gold at $9.99 a month, and Platinum at $19.99 a month.
