Livestorm is a browser based online web conferencing software used to share real-time live streams. It can be used to power remote live meetings, product demos, sales webinars, online lessons, onboarding sessions, more.[1][2][3]

History[edit]

Livestorm was founded in Paris, France in 2016[4] by Gilles Bertaux, Robin Lambert, Vincent Garreau and Tom Forlini.[5] It was born from the idea that web conferencing and webinar softwares could benefit from the WebRTC technology to provide a no-download, in-browser experience for participants. Other areas of improvements were addressed early on such as integrating the software with existing marketing platforms [6]

Technology[edit]

Livestorm's core is focused on leveraging WebRTC and Web Sockets for real time, low-latency interactions.[7] The video stream quality and format automatically adapts to each viewers' web browser to improve compatibility with all modern devices and browsers. The stream serves a WebRTC stream for compatible browsers including Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera, with a fall back on HLS on Internet Explorer and Safari.

The frontend runs on the Vue.js framework.[8]
