Remote audiovisual studio: produce, rehearse and stream online

What is a remote audiovisual studio?

A remote audiovisual studio brings together camera, screen, voice, and music streams on the same real-time session, like a control room, but without travel or heavy hardware. Each participant connects from their workstation; the director or artist runs the session from their browser.

Unlike mainstream videoconferencing, Gniark Live is built for audiovisual and music production: Opus stereo 48 kHz codec, native WebRTC protocol, OBS integration via WHIP, and infrastructure operated in France.

What are the benefits of Gniark Live for a remote studio?

High performance, directly in the browser

Gniark Live relies on WebRTC: VP8, VP9, and H.264 video codecs, Opus stereo 48 kHz audio optimized for music. No "phone call" degradation, every nuance matters for demanding audiovisual production.

No installation: ready in 30 seconds

No downloads, no client updates to manage. Create your room, share the link, and collaborators join from Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. Ideal for distributed teams, one-off guests, or freelancers who do not want proprietary software installed.

Low latency for real-time interaction

WebRTC transport latency is typically around ~100 ms, much more responsive than a classic RTMP chain. Musicians, stage directors, and viewers can interact, applaud, and react without the painful delay of mainstream platforms.

Screen, monitor, or app window sharing

From the live room, the Share Screen button lets you choose what you broadcast:

• <strong>Full screen</strong>: ideal for a control room or full-screen presentation
• <strong>Specific monitor</strong>: multi-monitor setup with several displays
• <strong>App window</strong>: DAW, video player, slides, or editing software without exposing the rest of the desktop

For more complex scenes (overlays, transitions, multiple combined video sources), the OBS + WHIP guide lets you send a complete scene to your live over WebRTC.

Audio source selection

On connection, the browser lists your audio devices: built-in mic, USB interface, headset, external sound card. You choose the source before publishing, without restarting the session.
