Platform for live streams

and webinars

To run a paid stream on Boomstream you need to: 1) Sign up for the platform, 2) Create a stream in your account, 3) Sign an agency agreement, 4) Set up paid access with a price and an access period, 5) Publish the player on your site or share a direct link. Viewers pay inside the player and Boomstream issues online receipts under 54-FZ automatically. The platform fee is 5% of the ticket price plus a 2.7% payment gateway fee.

Yes, Boomstream supports private streams with access by unique passwords. Each viewer gets an individual password with a set number of activations, which prevents passwords from being shared, and an access period. Passwords can be sent out by email automatically or generated in bulk and distributed by you. Setting this up takes 2 minutes.

An automated webinar is a pre-recorded video broadcast live on a schedule. In Boomstream you upload the video file, set the airing time, and the platform starts the stream on its own, exactly like a real live broadcast. Viewers see no player controls and cannot tell an automated webinar from a live one. It is ideal for recurring webinars and round-the-clock broadcasting.

To stream from IP cameras you need to: 1) Register the camera in your Boomstream account, 2) Get the link and the iframe code of the player, 3) Set the broadcasting schedule: 24/7 or by the hour. Boomstream supports most modern IP cameras and lets you run round-the-clock broadcasting without hiring specialists.

Boomstream uses several layers of protection: 1) DRM encryption of the content makes downloading practically impossible even with dedicated tools, 2) Dynamic watermarks carrying the viewer's email that appear at random points on the screen, 3) Domain binding, so the video only plays on your site, 4) Session control — tracking suspicious activity such as frequent changes of IP, device or browser, 5) IP address restrictions, 6) Link lifetime limits.

Yes, when you sign up for Boomstream you get a bonus balance for 30 days to fully test every platform feature. That is enough to run several streams and try out content protection, embedding the player on a site and monetization. The bonus balance lets you assess CDN quality, streaming stability and how convenient the account is, without spending anything. Once the trial period ends you can move to a package plan or keep paying for actual usage.

Boomstream supports streams for thousands of simultaneous viewers thanks to a global CDN infrastructure with servers worldwide. The platform uses adaptive bitrate, which automatically matches video quality to each viewer's connection speed and keeps playback stable even on a weak connection. The platform successfully runs mass events with audiences ranging from a few dozen to thousands of viewers.

Boomstream works on a pay-as-you-go model — you pay for actual usage: 3 RUB per hour of broadcasting and 3 RUB per hour watched by one viewer. Billing is per second, so you only pay for the resources you actually consume. Package plans with included storage and traffic are available as well. When you sign up you get a bonus balance for 30 days to test the platform.

Yes, Boomstream supports restreaming to up to 8 destinations simultaneously. You can run a single stream and broadcast it to YouTube, VK, Rutube, Twitch and other platforms at the same time. All destinations are managed from one screen in your account. This extends your reach without having to launch several separate streams.

To embed the player use the iframe code generated in your account. Simply copy the code and paste it into the HTML of your page. The player is fully customizable: you can change the color scheme, add a logo and hide controls. A direct link to the player is also available for sharing on social media or by email. The player adapts to any device.

Yes, Boomstream is actively used by online schools: OTUS, Tilda.school, Hanuman Online and others. The platform provides protected video storage with DRM encryption, embedding the player into any LMS through an iframe or the API, student attendance control, detailed viewing analytics and the option to sell courses with receipts issued automatically. Videos can be organized into playlists and sections for easy navigation.
