APPSINITYLive streaming
Live streaming exists in exactly one place: inside the web-game player. It is a broadcast of your browser tab with a chat channel attached, not a streaming platform.
Open Appsinity StudioWhere the control lives
The web-game player frame carries a Stream control that toggles Go live and Stop, alongside Record, Leaderboard, Monitor, Mute, Settings, Hide, Expand, Landscape, New tab and Close.
Adding ?stream to a web listing's URL opens the player in the streaming state, which is what you send an audience.
How it works
A six-hour token means a marquee stream needs a fresh session rather than a very long one. Nothing warns the streamer when it ends.
- Streaming is built on LiveKit; the store issues an access token with a six-hour lifetime.
- Chat is capped at 300 messages and retained for three hours.
- Streams are recorded server-side against the game and the session.
- The player's Monitor panel closes with Everything stays in your browser. — the capture is a tab capture, so it carries only what the page renders.
Practical limits
| Concern | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Chat history | 300 messages, then oldest fall away |
| Retention | Three hours |
| Moderation | No moderator tools or filters documented |
| Viewer identity | Not required to watch |
| Recording | The player exposes a Record control; there is no library of recordings |
| Replay | None |
Native games
Streaming covers the web player only. A Windows title launched through the desktop client has no broadcast path here — capture it with your own tooling, and use the Discord presence the client publishes as the audience-facing signal, see Windows desktop client.
Frequently asked questions
Can players stream my Android game through Appsinity?
No. The stream control exists only in the web-game player.
Is there a channel or follower system?
No. Follows exist as a data table but there is no follow button on the listing.
Does streaming count as a session in analytics?
Play sessions are recorded for web games, so a stream is a session for the streamer.
