The complete Go Live walkthrough
Every frame below is captured from the studio itself, not an illustration — showing how a broadcast is configured, branded and sent live.

What's in it
A studio that keeps working after you stop
One broadcast, three destinations
YouTube and Facebook Pages create the broadcast over their own APIs; Instagram relays a Live Producer key you paste in. One browser tab, no second encoder and no second machine. TikTok is next.
Your browser, or your encoder
Go live straight from the tab over WebRTC, or copy the RTMP server and stream key into OBS, Streamlabs or vMix. The same destinations either way, with a six-step walkthrough if you want it.
Custom overlays and sponsor graphics
Brand the stream with your own overlays, lower thirds and tickers, and drop in a sponsor's logo mid-broadcast without leaving the studio.
Recording that never leaves your machine
Recording captures exactly what viewers see, overlays burnt in. Stop, and a .webm downloads straight to your device — one mixed file at 30fps, never uploaded.
Cut the recording without uploading it
The .webm lands on your machine, and the browser video editor opens on a multi-track timeline — trim it, subtitle it in Urdu on-device, and export MP4 or WebM for Reels or Shorts.
Publish and schedule from one calendar
Push the finished cut to YouTube, Facebook Pages, Instagram or LinkedIn with real OAuth, or drop it on the calendar and let it go out later.
Prefer to cut the recording yourself? The browser video editor opens in the same workspace — a multi-track timeline, captions transcribed on your own machine, and MP4 or WebM export.

FAQ
Live streaming, answered
Do I need to install software to go live?
No. The studio runs entirely in the browser — open a tab, pick your destination and go live. There is nothing to download and no encoder to configure, which is why you can be on air in about a minute.
Can I live stream without OBS?
Yes — that is the point of a browser studio. There is no OBS to configure, no scenes to build and no encoder settings to get wrong: open the studio, add your destinations and go live. OBS remains the right tool for complex custom rigs; for a talking-head show, a panel or a launch stream, the browser does the whole job.
Can I stream to YouTube and Facebook at the same time?
Yes. Connect both accounts and one broadcast goes to YouTube and Facebook Pages at the same time — each created over that platform's own API — with Instagram alongside them if you paste in a Live Producer key. One browser tab, no second encoder.
Is there a live stream overlay maker built in?
Yes. The studio ships ready-made overlays, lower thirds and tickers you can brand, plus an AI generator that builds new overlay presets from a text description — and you can drop a sponsor's logo in mid-broadcast without leaving the studio.
How many platforms can I stream to at once?
Three today: YouTube, Facebook Pages and Instagram, all from the one broadcast. YouTube and Facebook are created over their own APIs; Instagram relays a Live Producer stream key you paste in. TikTok is listed in the studio as next release. (3 live destinations.)
Can I record while streaming?
Yes, and the recording never leaves your machine. It captures exactly what viewers see — overlays burnt in — and saves a .webm to your device the moment you stop. One mixed file at 30fps, not a per-track master.
What happens to the stream after I stop?
The recording saves to your own machine as a .webm. From there the browser video editor opens it on a multi-track timeline — trim it, subtitle it on-device in Urdu, export MP4 or WebM, and publish or schedule it to your connected channels. All in the same browser session, and none of it uploads to be processed.
How is this different from StreamYard?
StreamYard is a more mature streaming product and wins on guests and destination count. Shaheeno covers a narrower slice of the broadcast and then continues past it — a multi-track browser video editor, publishing to your connected channels, and a brand deal marketplace with PKR escrow.
Is the live studio free?
The studio is free for creators during launch. Current plan limits are on the pricing page.
