StreamChum Play

Play puts viewers in the game you are already running. You host on Windows. They open a link, pick a nickname, and use a virtual Xbox-style pad in the browser. They do not buy the game, install a client, or sign in. Read the Play overview for the pitch. This page is the setup.

1. Install the Play host for Windows from Downloads (when the host build is published) and the ViGEmBus virtual controller driver it asks for.
2. Start the host, sign in, and create a room from the desk.
3. Share the join link in chat. Viewers enter a nickname. You seat P1 through P4 from the roster. Up to eight people can wait in the lobby.
4. The host captures the game with DXGI and sends video over WebRTC. Guest sticks and buttons come back as virtual controllers only.

• Guests cannot see your desktop, files, or keyboard. Input is sandboxed to the virtual pad.
• Typical latency on broadband is in the tens of milliseconds. Fighting games and platformers are in scope.
• Host needs Windows 10 or 11, a GPU with a hardware encoder, and roughly 10 Mbps upload.
