In their own words
Shed
Shed, also called Muxshed, is a self-hosted live production studio that receives RTMP, SRT, or WebRTC video, mixes it in a browser, and sends the program to multiple destinations. It can stream simultaneously to YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Facebook, and custom RTMP or RTMPS endpoints. The browser switcher supports scenes, layered compositions, cuts, and frame-accurate stinger transitions. Guests can join through a browser invite link over WebRTC without an app or account. The compositor supports image overlays and lower thirds, while scheduled premieres, back-to-back playlists, and 24/7 loops cover programmed broadcasts. Each instance can provide an unlisted HLS watch page with custom branding and an optional viewer password. Stream Deck and Bitfocus Companion can control the switcher. Shed is an AGPL-3.0 Rust binary that runs with ffmpeg on Docker, Podman, Unraid, Proxmox, or Linux. Self-hosting costs nothing, with unlimited destinations and no per-channel fees. Source builds specify Rust 1.88+ and Node.js 20+.
