How it works
Your stream, from the street to your viewers
QikStream sits between your camera and OBS. Your encoder sends video over every connection it has, the relay puts it back together, and OBS picks it up like any other source. You keep your scenes, overlays and streaming platform.

Bonding: Wi-Fi, mobile data and more connections at once — when one weakens, the others carry the stream.
The ecosystem
Tools that work alone and better together
Use one product or all of them. They share one account, so setting up the next one takes minutes, not a new integration.

Frequently asked questions
Does QikStream replace OBS?
No. QikStream delivers your stream into OBS, where you keep your scenes, overlays and audio, and OBS goes live on your platform as usual.
What is bonding?
Bonding sends your stream over several internet connections at once — for example Wi-Fi plus mobile data. The relay combines them, so a weak or dropped connection does not have to end your stream. It improves your odds; no setup can guarantee a perfect connection everywhere.
Can I use my own encoder?
Yes. Belabox, IRLbox and other encoders that support the same protocols can send to QikStream Relay. You do not need the QikStream Mobile app.
How much does it cost?
QikStream is currently free to use. We have not set any pricing yet.
Who can see my location on the map?
Only what you choose to share. You decide whether you appear on the public map at all, and whether your position shows always or only while you are live.
