Live streaming shouldn’t require weeks of research, YouTube videos, setup, and frustration. Streaming software is abysmal and outdated. We want to fix that.
We Believe
We believe that everyone has a story to tell. Our mission is to empower anyone with no experience or expensive hardware to share their love of gaming with a live audience. To build a live video production suite that is simple enough for anyone to get started, yet powerful enough to truly wow your audience. We are building a complete evolution of what live video production should be: simple, powerful, and collaborative. But most of all, it should be fun.
There is simply nothing else like us and we are excited to share it with you.
Who We Are
Lightstream is a small, but growing team of gaming, esports, and video industry veterans. Members of our team have contributed to the success of brands like SteelSeries, Machinima, Open Broadcasting Software, Major League Gaming, ESL, Beyond Gaming, and even old school brands like GotFrag & World Cyber Games. Yes, some of us are that old.
Without a doubt, these are some of the smartest people we have had the pleasure of working with. However, what really binds us together is not just our desire to build something truly amazing, but to build a company and culture we can be proud of.
