LiveReacting
LiveReacting is browser-based software for interactive live streams, pre-recorded broadcasts, 24/7 streams, and live shows. Viewers can join trivia, polls, giveaways, and word games through live-chat comments. Its browser studio supports guests, multiple cameras, screen sharing, scenes, custom layouts, and branding. The service lists YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, Kick, Instagram, more than 30 platforms, and destinations that accept an RTMP feed. Pre-recorded and 24/7 streams run on LiveReacting servers, so a user’s computer can be switched off. Paid plans list imports from Google Drive, Dropbox, and YouTube, plus browser-source integration with OBS, Wirecast, StreamYard, and Ecamm. API access and an MCP server let AI agents create and control streams. The Free plan includes three streams per calendar month, each up to 30 minutes, at 720p with a watermark; the pricing details list one destination and 0.5 GB storage. The pricing note says paid plans start at $16/mo (annual). Custom enterprise plans can include HLS and SRT destinations, SCTE-35 ad markers, YouTube server-side ad insertion, and dedicated servers.
