How do I go live from my browser without any software?
Downloading and configuring an encoder like OBS is overkill when you just want to talk to camera or share your screen for a few minutes. Modern browsers can capture your webcam and screen and send them live over WebRTC — so you can go live in seconds with nothing installed. Here’s how it works, and how to reach every platform at once.
Your browser is already a broadcaster
Every modern browser can access your camera and microphone and capture your screen or a single window, then send that live over WebRTC — the same low-latency technology behind video calls. No plugin, no download.
The missing piece is somewhere to send it that will fan it out to your platforms: on its own, a browser can only publish to one endpoint at a time.
Camera, screen, or both
Sharing your camera suits just-chatting and reactions; sharing your screen suits tutorials, slides and demos. A picture-in-picture mode overlays your camera in the corner of your screen-share so viewers see both — composited live in the browser before it goes out.
Reaching every platform at once
Point your browser broadcast at a restreaming relay instead of a single platform, and it copies your feed to Twitch, YouTube, Kick and more simultaneously — no extra upload from your side. If your network blocks the direct connection, a good relay falls back to a TURN server so you can still go live from restrictive office or campus Wi-Fi.
- Open the browser studio and allow camera / screen access.
- Pick your source and microphone, then go live.
- Your connected destinations all receive the stream at once.
Frequently asked questions
Can I stream to Twitch and YouTube from my browser at the same time?
Yes — publish once from the browser to a restreaming relay and it copies your feed to every connected platform, so you don’t need OBS or a second output.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Browser Studio runs entirely in the browser using WebRTC — no OBS, no plugins, no install. You just grant camera or screen permission.
Can I share my screen and my camera together?
Yes — a picture-in-picture mode overlays your camera in the corner of your screen-share, composited live before it’s sent.
