Features

• Read chat while streaming

  Roams chat panel lets you read chat while streaming, without chat being burnt into the broadcast.

• BRB screen

  One tap BRB screen with customisable text. Mutes your camera and mic with one press.

• Stream to anywhere (SRT+RTMP)

  Kick, Twitch, Youtube, Trovo, your own server, it doesn’t matter which platform you use, you can stream to anywhere that works with RTMP or SRT.

• Lightweight by design

  Roam is small, focused, and doesn’t pile on background services like Google Play, analytics, SDKs you didn’t ask for, etc.

• Stealth mode

  One tap and the screen goes black but the stream keeps going. Press and hold anywhere to bring it back. Useful for situations where you don’t want to draw attention to yourself (Like being IRL in sketchy areas) or look like an obnoxious streamer (Such as at concerts/events where it’s dark around you).

• Auto-reconnect

  If you lose signal Roam will notice and attempt to reconnect until you get signal again (Or until it times out).

• Predictive thermal management

  The phone tells you before it overheats and drops your bitrate to keep the stream alive. Surfaces what it’s doing instead of silently throttling. Option to turn off if you don’t want any throttling.

Private by design

• Google Play not required to install (Great for GrapheneOS)
• Google Play Services not needed to run
• No telemetry, no analytics, no tracking
• Talks only to the streaming server you point it at
• Open source on GitHub under GPL‑3.0

How to install

1. Tap the download button above. You’ll get an .apk file to download.
2. Open the .apk file. Android will warn you that it’s not from the Play Store (which is by design). When it asks, allow your file manager (or whatever app you opened it from) to install unknown apps.
3. Open Roam Live app and grant it camera + mic permissions. Go to the settings and enter your stream destination. Now you can go live, or you can spend some time to configure more settings (Chat, overlays, etc).
4. Press and hold to go live
