Some audiences are meant to be small.
Most streaming platforms chase open discovery and viral reach. Video meeting apps trade away video fidelity and leave join links open to forwarding.
When what you are sharing is confidential, paid, or personal, those tradeoffs break down. You need a clean broadcast stage for hosts and a locked door for guests.
Gated Live exists for those moments: the executive briefing that cannot leave the room, the masterclass students invested in, the private performance shared with your core supporters.
What we believe
Four core principles guide how we design and engineer Gated Live.
Default-closed architecture.
Every room starts locked. Access is granted individually to verified email addresses, never through an open link or recommendation feed.
Private shouldn't mean low quality.
Broadcast straight from the built-in browser studio with a green room and multi-speaker layouts, or connect OBS, vMix, and hardware encoders via RTMPS, SRT, or WHIP.
Access should be easy for guests and hard to abuse.
One-time email codes get guests into the room in seconds with no passwords to manage. Device binding stops forwarded links cold.
Guests deserve respect too.
Attendees' email addresses are masked in chat (da***@gmail.com), and we collect only the operational data needed to authenticate access securely.
The philosophy
“Gated Live is the digital velvet rope: the certainty of an uncompromised broadcast where every viewer at the gate was personally invited.”
