About Us

What is LiveSpace?

LiveSpace is a global hub for creators to build communities, stream live content, and share updates with their fans all in one place. Our mission is to connect the world through a social, live-oriented platform that helps the next generation of streamers get discovered and earn more for their content.

Why join LiveSpace if I already stream elsewhere?

LiveSpace helps you not just livestream your content, but build a true online community. With an 85% revenue split, Twitter-style posting, a dedicated content discovery feed, and advanced community tools like subscription-only content, LiveSpace is made to help you build your career as a creator, not just get more views.

Why did you create LiveSpace?

As creators ourselves, we believe no existing platform truly solves the needs of modern creators and streamers. We decided to build a next-generation all-in-one platform with creators’ needs in mind every step of the way, from discovery to monetization. LiveSpace is the place we always wished existed, and that we know creators will love.

How are you able to offer an 85% revenue split?

We do not use the traditional Amazon Web Services video infrastructure like most competitors. Instead, we spend significantly less on video hosting through partnerships with some of the worlds leading edge networks. Combined with our diverse revenue model, this allows us to spend less and pay creators more.

Who is behind this?

LiveSpace Media, Inc. is a growing team of creators, veteran tech executives, ex-YouTube and ex-Twitch employees based in Los Angeles, CA. We're independent, not owned by any other company, and funded by like-minded individuals who believe in our mission to build a better future for creators.

Getting Started

Are there any eligibility requirements to start streaming?

Anyone over the age of 13 with a LiveSpace account can stream.

Is there a mobile app?

Not yet, but you can still use the website—and stream!—through your mobile device.

Does LiveSpace cost anything to use?

LiveSpace is free to use, with unlimited streaming and viewing. To remove all platform advertising, you can upgrade to LiveSpace+ for $7.99 / month.

What streaming software is LiveSpace compatible with?

You can use any software you like – all you need is your LiveSpace Stream URL and Stream Key. We recommend OBS Studio. If you don't want to use software, you can also get started streaming right from your browser with our 1-click webcam integration.

What stream URL do I enter in OBS?

The official LiveSpace stream URL is: rtmp://app.live.space/live/

You can enter this anywhere it asks for a custom RTMP server.

What browsers are compatible?

All major browsers are supported, and we recommend Google Chrome for the best performance. Using less common browsers such as Vivaldi may result in minor bugs.

Livestreaming

How do I start a stream?

Just click the video icon in the sidebar, choose a video input and press start. Begin with just your webcam or connect your own external camera and microphone. If you want more control, switch your input to “Stream Key” to send video from OBS software.

What URL will my stream be hosted at?

Your watch link is always live.space/watch/username, and your profile is always live.space/username. Your watch link will redirect to your profile while offline.

Are there in-stream alerts for viewer activity?

Yes! You can connect your streamlabs account in the "Apps" tab of the creator dashboard at live.space/dashboard.

How will advertising work?

Advertising plays an important role in the ecosystem at LiveSpace. We will begin to roll out advertising on both livestreams and other static areas of the platform. Stream ads will be limited to pre-roll initially, with more formats in testing to help create the best experience for both creators and viewers.

In the future, creators will have an opportunity to earn a share of advertising revenue generated from their video content. This ad-share program will be available to all creators who reach certain usage milestones. More details about the program and its requirements will be announced soon.

Can I record streams to watch later?

Yes! Archived streams are available to watch in your Stream Archive at live.space/dashboard, and you can toggle on recordings to show publicly on your profile as well.

Can I add text or image overlays to streams?

You can add text or image overlays to your streams when you use OBS software. We're working on ways to add more features like this to our browser-based creator studio!

Can I invite guests to co-host a stream with me?

Soon! In the meantime, you can use OBS software to achieve this.

Stream settings & troubleshooting

LiveSpace always offers stream viewers the following quality options:

Source (Full-quality)
1080p 60fps @ 6000kbps
720p 30fps @ 3000kbps
480p 30fps @ 1000kbps
360p 30fps @ 500kbps

We recommend a bitrate of 6500kbps for 1080p 60fps, or 4500kbps for 720p 30fps. LiveSpace currently has no hard bitrate limit, and it is technically possible to stream in resolutions such as 4K with a bitrate of 30K+. We're working to add support soon for high-efficiency codecs such as H.265 and AV1 to make high-bitrate streaming even more efficient.

––––

Recommended OBS Settings:
- Encoder = x264/H.264 (H.265 HEVC or AV1 will not work)
- Keyframe interval = 2
- Rate Control = CBR (Constant bitrate)
- B frames = None (Required for low-latency mode)
- Audio = AAC 320kbps
- CPU encoding

You'll need to enter both your stream URL and stream key in OBS before you click start.
- If using RTMP, stream URL is rtmp://app.live.space/live/
- If using SRT, stream URL is srt://app.live.space:2935
- Your personal Stream Key is available to copy at live.space/start.

Your stream will automatically start on LiveSpace when we detect signal from your software.

Known issues:
- If you're experiencing audio glitching, try switching from hardware to software encoding.
- SRT may occasionally result in screen tearing or artifacts.

If you're still having trouble, try:
- Resetting your stream key by clicking the refresh icon next to it. You can access your stream key in your Live Studio or your account settings. Copy the new key into your software and try again.
- Sign out, then back in to reset your session.

If you still need help, send us a message at live.space/support and our team will try to answer any questions!

Profile/Account

Is there an age restriction on LiveSpace?

Yes – You must be at least 13 years of age to use the platform.

What's the punishment for violating the community guidelines?

Violations of our community guidelines may result in a temporary account suspension or a permanent platform ban, depending on severity of the offense and number of previous account violations.

Can I add social media links to my profile?

Yes – You can add links to your Youtube, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok and official website to your profile.

What are the cover image dimensions?

1550 x 250px. This matches 's channel art dimensions to make it easy to use your existing art on LiveSpace.

Can I use the LiveSpace logo on my own merch?

You may not use our trademark LiveSpace brand assets on any publicly purchasable merchandise without prior written permission. This includes both the "LiveSpace" wordmark and magenta frame mark, alone or together.

However, the magenta "frame" mark may be used in a small size when shown in conjunction with your channel name to show platform affiliation.

Content

Can I play music in streams?

Users should not broadcast copyrighted content, such as recorded music, that they do not have permission to use from the copyright owner. Copyrighted content in both livestreams and videos may be subject to DMCA takedown requests from the rights holder that can result in the content being removed from the platform. Repeat infringers may be subject to further action.

For music performance, LiveSpace currently holds platform licenses with the performance rights organizations ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR. For US-based users, this means the compositions (not original recordings) under those organizations are generally allowed for use such as in "cover songs."

Can I show film/TV footage in streams?

It is up to the streamer to ensure they have secured the rights to broadcast all copyrighted content, including movies or TV shows, that they wish to display in a livestream. Otherwise, this content may be vulnerable to a DMCA takedown notice at any time as they are received by LiveSpace from the original rights holder. Both livestreams and recorded/archived streams may be subject to takedown requests, upon which immediate steps will be taken to remove the infringing content.

However, certain instances of displaying copyrighted content in-stream may count as fair use under the law, and unless an official DMCA notice has been received by LiveSpace, it is generally not our policy to proactively assume a streamer does or doesn't have a license to use the content in their stream and take steps to remove content on our own accord.

If a DMCA takedown notice is issued against your account, you will be notified by email. If you'd like to submit a counter-notification, you may do so, however this has real legal implications and we strongly encourage consulting a lawyer first if you think there has been a mistake. Repeat infringers may be subject to action such as account suspension or platform ban.

What kind of content is not allowed on LiveSpace?

You can view our full community guidelines here.

Are kids <13 allowed to appear in streams?

Only if accompanied by a visible adult. We take child exploitation seriously.

Can I stream to LiveSpace from the crowd of a sports event or concert?

Unauthorized broadcasts for events are never permitted without express written consent from the original rights holder. If you're planning a legal broadcast of a major event, it helps to let us know beforehand at contact@live.space.

Payments

How can I earn revenue as a streamer?

Creators can earn revenue on LiveSpace from their community through monthly subscriptions. Streamers can also earn revenue from additional sources like merch sales and brand partnerships.

Can I set my own subscription price?

Creator subscriptions will start at $4.99 / month, and we're experimenting with ways to let creators set higher subscription prices for their community. If you don't want to enable subscriptions, you can still earn followers as normal.

Are there any eligibility requirements to start earning revenue?

Anyone can earn money on LiveSpace right away after verifying their identity to enable payments for their account. There are no minimum thresholds or requirements to monetize your channel, and most users are eligible for next-day payouts. For a small number of countries, Stripe may hold payouts until you've reached certain payout thresholds due to cross-border payment limitations.

Is there an affiliate or partner program for top streamers?

There is no official "Partner Program" on LiveSpace. All streamers can earn an 85% revenue split from day one. However we're actively exploring ways to work with top creators and content partners on the platform.

Is there a minimum payout threshold?

No – all creators on LiveSpace enjoy free, daily payouts with zero processing fees.
