01
Schedule the channel
Blocks of programming on a timeline, published as a guide. Shorts at eight, a live hour at half nine, a feature at eleven. The channel is on whether or not you are.
Live TV and OTT
A scheduled channel with a programme guide, playing on the web and on the TV apps, simulcast to Twitch, YouTube, X and Kick with one merged chat. Entertainment, OTT and AI-generated programming — not a gaming stream.
Embedded channels are free. Broadcast channels are billed by the minute.

01 Why a stream is not a channel
- A stream that exists only while you are pressing the button, with nothing on before it or after it.
- An audience split four ways across four platforms, with four chats nobody can follow.
- A gaming platform's layout wrapped around a drama, a talk show or a block of short films.
- No guide, so nobody knows what is on at nine.
02 How it works
02
Pick a tier
An embedded channel is free: you point it at a stream that already exists elsewhere. A broadcast channel is encoded by OpenFlix, plays in the TV apps, keeps a DVR, and is billed at cost × 2 per broadcast-minute in credits.
03
Point OBS at it
An RTMP ingest, so the encoder you already run on a laptop is the studio. Nothing to install on the platform side.
04
Simulcast
One broadcast reaches Twitch, YouTube Live, X and Kick at once, and the chat from each is read back into one merged conversation on the watch page.
05
Put it in the living room
A broadcast channel plays in the OpenFlix TV apps alongside the films, with the guide beside it.
03 One evening of the guide
A schedule, not a session.
This is a channel's programme guide as the product draws it: what is on, when, from where, and what it costs to broadcast.

05 Questions people actually ask
Is this like Twitch?
No. Twitch is a place to watch someone play. This is a channel: a schedule, a guide and a stream of programming that is on whether you are at the desk or not. It simulcasts to Twitch — and to YouTube, X and Kick — so the audience there still finds you.
What does it cost?
An embedded channel costs nothing. A broadcast channel is billed at cost × 2 per broadcast-minute in credits, which buys the encoding, the DVR and playback in the TV apps.
Do I need a studio?
A laptop running OBS is the studio. It pushes to the channel over RTMP; the rest happens on the platform.
Can I run AI-generated programming?
Yes. An always-on channel of generated entertainment is exactly the shape this is built for. The content policy still applies, as it does to everything on OpenFlix.
Storyline
Rather be pitched than read a page?
Three minutes, swipeable, and it makes the whole case for you rather than listing what the product has.
