Wavelive

Live video & audio streaming: Start a broadcast in seconds with industry-grade low‑latency video and audio that keeps you connected to your audience in real time. Wavelive automatically detects network conditions and uses adaptive bitrate streaming to maintain a smooth experience across 3G, 4G, and Wi‑Fi — reducing freezes and rebuffering while preserving audio clarity. Tap to go live, choose camera and microphone sources, and switch instantly between front and rear cameras without interrupting the stream. Hosts can select video resolution and frame rate presets (Auto, Balanced, HD) or use an advanced mode for custom bitrate, resolution, and encoder settings when needed. Built‑in audio controls include gain control, mute/unmute, echo cancellation, and optional noise suppression so your voice is always crisp and natural even in noisy environments.

Invite co‑hosts or guests with a single tap: Wavelive supports multi‑party co‑hosting with synchronized audio and video streams, letting you run interviews, panel shows, or collaborative performances. Guests can join as full co‑hosts (camera + mic), audio‑only, or join as “stage” participants with moderated permissions. Hosts can manage co‑hosts’ video layout (side‑by‑side, grid, picture‑in‑picture), promote or demote guests, and safely end or remove connections. For shows with many contributors, the platform offers pre‑show staging: invite guests to a private waiting room where audio/video are previewed and technical checks run before going live to ensure smooth transitions.

Moderation and audience controls are robust and realtime. Hosts and assigned moderators can mute/unmute viewers, remove participants, hide messages, ban users, and enable slow‑mode to limit message frequency. Chat moderation tools allow keyword filtering, auto‑moderation rules, and a simple “report” workflow so problematic content can be removed quickly. For larger broadcasts, configurable co‑moderators can manage reactions and gifts, respond to viewer questions, and pin important messages. Privacy options let hosts restrict streams to followers, subscribers, or invite‑only audiences and enable password‑protected or paid entry shows.

Audience engagement features are integrated tightly with streaming: live reactions, polls, Q&A, and timed call‑to‑action banners drive participation and discoverability. Viewers can send virtual gifts, badges, and tips which appear as animated overlays on the broadcast; creators can set up goal meters, leaderboards, and reward flows to gamify engagement. All interactions are emitted via a high‑performance socket channel to guarantee sub‑second updates for comments, likes, and gifting events.

Reliability and performance are a priority: Wavelive uses redundant ingest points and edge servers to minimize single‑point failures. The client implements network resilience features such as automatic reconnect, short buffering windows for low latency, and graceful degradation (switch to audio‑only mode when bandwidth drops) to keep streams alive. For hosts who need long recordings, the app supports cloud recording with automatic segmenting, secure upload, and optional post‑broadcast processing (auto‑trim, thumbnail generation, and watermarking).

Creators retain full control over stream metadata, thumbnails, and categories to improve search and discovery. The streaming workflow supports metadata tags, scheduled broadcasts with reminders, and preview thumbnails to attract viewers. For advanced use cases, Wavelive supports RTMP ingest and stream key export so creators can use external hardware or broadcasting software while still leveraging Wavelive’s audience and monetization tools.
