Beam Networks Stream is a lower-cost Resi alternative for churches and nonprofits. If your internet drops mid-service, your stream holds. When you're back online, it catches up on its own. Viewers just see the broadcast.
Runs on Cloudflare · Works with OBS · No hardware to buy
How it works
Install the agent, stream the way you already do, and let us handle the hiccups in the background.
Beam Networks Stream Agent
Runs beside OBS
Cloud Buffer
Holds & backfills
Destinations
YouTube, Facebook, your site
Internet drops for 45 seconds? We hold onto your broadcast in the cloud. When you reconnect, it catches right back up. Nobody watching has to sit through dead air.
Download Beam Networks Stream onto the same machine running OBS. No rack gear, no workflow changes.
The agent uploads continuously and keeps a recoverable buffer on our side, so the occasional blip doesn't break the broadcast.
When your internet comes back, we backfill what got dropped and keep YouTube, Facebook, and your site fed from the same buffer.
Features
Fewer broken streams, fewer frantic Sunday-morning calls, and a setup that doesn't require a dedicated engineer to keep running.
If your internet drops for under 90 seconds, viewers never notice. No buffering spinner, no dead air, no awkward "we're having technical difficulties" moment.
When your connection comes back, it picks up where it left off. You don't have to restart the stream, message the tech booth, or touch anything.
We hold up to 30 minutes of your broadcast locally, so even longer outages have a fighting chance of recovering without anyone noticing.
Push to YouTube, Facebook, and your own site simultaneously. One stream goes in, and each destination gets its own feed.
Resi starts at $100/month. We do the same job for less, with no annual contract and no hardware to lease.
If OBS already runs on your streaming computer, you're set. Install our agent, point it at OBS, done. Nothing new to buy or wire in.
Pricing
Every tier covers the actual cost of running your stream resiliently, and not much more.
Why it costs what it costs
Storage, bandwidth, and delivery aren't free, and buffering the stream in the cloud uses more of all three than a regular RTMP feed. So the price needs to cover that honestly. If you're running a small congregation or a one-person nonprofit, talk to us — we'd rather figure something out than lose you over $30.
8 hours / month
Enough for a weekly service plus the occasional midweek stream. Self-attested church and nonprofit rate.
20 hours / month
Small orgs, occasional events, volunteer-run productions.
80 hours / month
Regular broadcasts, multi-service weekends, mid-size teams.
Unlimited hours
Heavy use, simultaneous streams, full production teams.
No annual contracts, no hardware lease, no usage tiers designed to upsell you.
FAQ
If we didn't answer yours here, email us — we read everything that comes in.
We keep a protected copy of your broadcast in the cloud and keep feeding it to your destinations while the agent reconnects. When it comes back, we backfill whatever got missed. Short blips, viewers never see. Longer drops still have a shot at recovering cleanly.
No. If you already stream with OBS, you're set. Install our agent on the same machine, point it at OBS, and keep using the cameras, switcher, and destinations you already have.
A plain RTMP stream breaks the moment your upload connection hiccups — viewers see a frozen frame or get booted. We buffer your stream in the cloud and backfill the gaps, so the destination keeps getting a continuous feed instead of a broken one.
Yep. Same core idea — resilient cloud buffering that survives internet drops — without the enterprise contract or proprietary hardware. We're aimed at churches, nonprofits, and small broadcast teams running OBS.

Who it's for
Teams that notice when a stream goes sideways.
We're still in early access, so rather than fake testimonials, here's who we're building for.
Built for weekly services
For church and nonprofit teams whose stream has to go out every Sunday, even when the ISP is having a bad morning.
Friendly to volunteer crews
No rack gear, no dedicated encoder, no complicated failover playbook for the person also running audio and slides.
Early and honest about it
We're new. Rather than making up glowing testimonials, we're being upfront about who we're building for and letting the product earn its own quotes.
