Welcome to the lounge! We're a livestreaming platform built to support artists and live venues. When COVID-19 hit, we realised most options that allowed artists to monetise their work online, also came with some exorbitant upfront fees. The platforms that didn't completely price artists out of using their service were clogged with streams and often focused on gaming.
That's where we come in! We're focused exclusively on the creative industries. We also give all artists access to a range monetisation options with no upfront fee. We offer fool-proof one-click streaming, customisation options for your videos, and we even support third party apps. Through us, artists can offer paid and pay-as-you-feel livestreamed shows, reaching their community in real-time, in a way that is accessible for all Australians.
Founded by Australian artists and academics, Loungeroom Livestreaming is a hub of creativity and Australian ingenuity.
