Stream with high quality & low latency directly from your browser (Model Web Broadcaster) without any additional software.

Latency is < 2 seconds for both desktop and mobile viewers when using the WebRTC player.

External RTMP Broadcasters provide real-time video mixing tools, transitions, overlays, effects, audio tools, and more.

RTMP is the most widely used protocol for streaming live video from the broadcaster to the server.

You are able to seamlessly stream in Free Chat and Private/Group/Club shows on MyFreeCams using an RTMP External Broadcaster without having to stop broadcasting when switching between show types.

This broadcasting method is recommended for models on WiFi or with a sub optimal Internet connection (e.g. when traveling).

If you had good results with Flash, but not with WebRTC, this broadcasting option will be the optimal choice.

New & improved Sidekick v3 coming March 2021.

Sidekick is an OBS broadcasting plug-in that delivers a high quality, ultra-low latency stream to MFC using WebRTC.

Sidekick has lower latency and equal or even slightly better video quality compared with normal OBS (RTMP).

Latency is < 2 seconds for both desktop and mobile viewers when using the WebRTC player.

After installing Sidekick you are still able to use OBS to broadcast in the normal way (RTMP) by switching to a different OBS profile.
