Glimesh: Free Live Streaming Platform for Creators

A free and open source live streaming platform allowing content creators to broadcast gameplay, art, music, and more with a community-focused approach, an alternative to popular platforms like Twitch.

What is Glimesh?

Glimesh is a free and open source live streaming platform launched in 2020 that allows content creators to broadcast gameplay, art, music, cooking, and more to an online audience. It features a chat system so streamers can interact with viewers.

The platform is positioned as a community-focused alternative to dominant players in the market like Twitch or YouTube Live. Glimesh promises creators a larger cut of subscriptions and donations compared to other services. It also provides tools for streamers to foster connections with their fans.

Some key features of Glimesh include: support for 1080p60fps video quality, custom channel pages for creators, a discover section to help viewers find new streamers, raiding to help direct an audience from one stream to another, and an API for building custom integrations and bots.

As an open source platform, Glimesh is developed collaboratively by a community of volunteers. This means anyone can contribute features and improvements to the platform on GitHub. The service is free for streamers and viewers, and the company plans to sustain itself through optional subscriptions and donations rather than ads.
