Watch Out is a cheap (hassle-free single-server low cpu/bandwidth) live streaming platform.

It uses:

• Media Source Extensions implemented (pseudo-correctly) in 2 browsers (Chrome/Firefox)
• Open format webm.
• https://www.w3.org/TR/mse-byte-stream-format-webm/

Why not using WebRTC ?

• I don't want to maintain a STUN/TURN server and bother with ICE

Why not using RTMP + Transcoder? + HLS ?

• I don't want to force streamers to install softwares (beside compatible browsers) or plugins like flash
• I don't want to maintain (and pay) transcoder, or streaming server

Why you need WatchOut ?

• You like low quality stream
• You like low cost servers
• You like low hassle (user friendly button in progress)

• Download master archive of clone the git
• Since its a Laravel application https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/installation

    composer install
    php artisan key:generate --force
    php artisan serve
    php artisan migrate

• Watch streams: /streams
• Start streaming: /record

I like simple, stupid and cheap things. I wanted to stream, and my bored mind built WatchOut. If you like it, use it.
