Gleem Hosting Closed beta

OBS Studio in the cloud,
built for IRL.

Powerful, secure GPU servers for your IRL stream. Your phone or backpack sends the camera feed, OBS Studio runs your scenes in a data centre, and you control it all from your browser. No laptop in your bag, no setup.

  • No laptop needed
  • Never renews on its own
  • Free on your own hardware

Why IRL streamers use it

Your production, off your back

On the move, your mobile connection is the weak link. OBS Studio runs on a GPU server with a fast, stable line, so your scenes, overlays and alerts do not depend on the phone in your hand.

Control it from your browser

Switch scenes, check your audio and fix an overlay from a browser tab, wherever you are. Nothing to install.

Bring your camera feed

Send your phone or backpack feed to an SRT or RTMP relay and add it to OBS Studio as a media source. A Gleem SRT relay is in the works.

Keeps going when you close the tab

OBS Studio stays live on the server when you close your browser. Come back any time until you stop the rental.

Book it for the day

Set a time limit of up to 24 hours, enough for a full day out. The rental stops on its own at that point and never renews by itself.

Your workspace stays yours

Each rental gets an encrypted workspace with a key the machine never stores. The data centre running the hardware cannot read it, and neither can we.

Your address stays private

The video between you and the machine is relayed, so the machine never learns your IP address.

How renting works

From the marketplace to your IRL stream

Sample listings and prices, for illustration.

  1. 01

    Pick a machine

    Search the marketplace by GPU, CPU or name. Every listing shows its graphics card, memory, upload speed and hourly price.

  2. 02

    Set a time limit

    Choose how long the rental may run, up to a full day. The machine starts OBS Studio and gets it ready for you.

  3. 03

    Add your feed and go live

    OBS Studio opens in your browser tab. Add your camera feed, set up your scenes and start streaming. Stopping the rental releases the machine and wipes its workspace.

Self-hosted machines

Prefer your own hardware?

A self-hosted machine is a system you deploy and manage yourself to run OBS Studio on Gleem. It can be physical, virtual, in a container, on-premises or in a cloud.

  • Your hardware, your setup

    Choose the hardware, operating system and software tools. Add the processing power or memory a larger production needs, reach software on your local network, or use machines your company already maintains and pays for.

  • Free to use

    Self-hosted machines are free to use with OBS Studio rentals. The cost of running and maintaining the machine is yours.

  • You keep it up to date

    The Gleem machine application updates itself, and you can switch that off. The operating system and all other software are yours to update.

  • Install the agent, enter a claim code

    Register the machine on Gleem, run the Gleem agent on it and enter the claim code you are given. It shows up as online within seconds.

A self-hosted machine can only be used by you. The machines on the marketplace come from data centres Gleem works with.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

What is Gleem Hosting?

A GPU server that runs OBS Studio for your IRL stream, controlled from your browser. Rent one by the hour from the marketplace, or connect a machine you manage yourself. It is in closed beta.

Can everyone use it?

Not yet. Gleem Hosting is in closed beta, and it needs a Gleem creator page. Apply with the button on this page: connect Discord, tell us what you want to use it for, and the team reviews your application.

What do I need on the go?

A phone or backpack encoder that sends your camera feed, and a browser to control OBS Studio. The encoding and your broadcast run on the rented machine.

How does my camera feed get to the machine?

For now, through an SRT or RTMP relay of your own: you add its address to OBS Studio as a media source. We are working on a Gleem SRT relay, so you will not need one of your own.

What happens if I close my browser?

Nothing stops. OBS Studio keeps running and streaming on the machine, and you can come back to it until you stop the rental or its time limit is reached.

What does a rental cost?

Every machine on the marketplace has an hourly price, shown on its listing. Self-hosted machines are free to use; the only cost is running your own hardware.

How long can a rental run?

Up to 24 hours, enough for a full day out. You choose the limit when you start, the rental stops on its own when it is reached, and it never renews. To carry on, you start a new rental.

Can anyone see what I do?

No. Your workspace is encrypted with a key the machine never stores, so the data centre running it cannot read it, and neither can we. When you stop a rental, the machine is released and its workspace is wiped.

What can I run a self-hosted machine on?

Any system with a modern NVIDIA card that can encode H.264 in hardware: a physical PC, a virtual machine, a container, on-premises or in a cloud. You install the Gleem agent, enrol it with a claim code, and keep the operating system and other software up to date yourself.

Can other people use my machine?

No. A self-hosted machine can only be used by you. The machines on the marketplace are provided by data centres that Gleem works with.
