Live 1080p / 2K TV Broadcast via Icecast — See it in action Watch the stream live
Yes, this is a real video stream — using Icecast, VP9/WebM, and no proprietary media servers.
What’s this all about? We’re using Icecast (traditionally for radio/audio) to stream live HD video using the open WebM format — completely plugin-free and 100% browser-native.
Works on:
Chrome, Firefox, Edge (desktop + Android)

iOS Safari (since 2022)
We started experimenting in 2017 — back when VP9 encoding was barely manageable. But today, even low-end machines can stream WebM with stunning quality and low bitrate.
Tech stack
Icecast 2.x

VP9 encoding via ffmpeg

Simple HTML5 <video> tag — no JS player needed
Who is this for?
Radio stations wanting to show studio cams

Small indie TVs and streamers

Events, webinars, lessons, science cams, product demos

Anyone with a good idea and no big budget
Why WebM + Icecast?
No royalties

Open standard

Lightweight server setup

High quality / low bitrate
