Frequently asked questions

WHIP or RTMP for a concert?

WHIP targets direct WebRTC ingest with lower latency; RTMP remains on other relays. For Gniark Live, WHIP is the recommended path.

How many OBS cameras can I send?

One WHIP stream per room: combine sources in a single OBS scene before sending.

Does Gniark Live replace YouTube Live?

No. YouTube Live is useful for reaching a mass audience. Gniark Live is better suited to private concerts, rehearsals, showcases, premium lives and events where low latency, link control and audio quality matter.

Can I use OBS with Gniark Live?

Yes. OBS can send a full scene to a Gniark Live room via the WHIP protocol.

Can I organize a private concert?

Yes. Gniark Live lets you create a private room, share a restricted link and run a concert for a selected audience.

Can I sell tickets?

Yes, via external ticketing such as HelloAsso, Billetweb, Shotgun or a payment link. Gniark Live provides the live room.

Is it suitable for nonprofits?

Yes. Nonprofits can run benefit concerts, galas, hybrid events, private lives or cultural broadcasts with more control than a generalist platform.

Do attendees need to install an app?

No. Access is via a compatible browser, with no mandatory installation.

How is it different from Zoom?

Zoom is built for meetings. Gniark Live focuses on live music, audio quality, low latency, OBS WHIP and broadcast control.

What internet connection is required?

A stable fibre, 4G or 5G connection is recommended. For a paid concert or event, run a technical test before going live.
