Broadcast Box is a self-hosted Go server for sub-second live video broadcasting and screen sharing using WebRTC (WHIP/WHEP). It supports publishing from OBS, browsers, FFmpeg, and GStreamer with simple stream-key based playback.

Use cases

• self-host a low-latency live streaming server
• screen share to friends with sub-second delay
• broadcast from OBS via WHIP
• publish webcam or screen directly from the browser
• stream with ffmpeg or gstreamer to a webrtc endpoint
• run a lightweight alternative to twitch for private streams

When to choose

• you need sub-second latency that RTMP-based services can't provide
• you want a simple self-hosted WebRTC ingest/playback server
• you broadcast from OBS, browser, FFmpeg, or GStreamer via WHIP

When to avoid

• you need large-scale distribution to thousands of viewers
• you require recording, transcoding, or VOD features
• you need an RTMP-only ingest workflow
