Vivoh.Earth
Encrypted live events, with no attendee capVirtual events that scale like a broadcast
Town halls, all-hands and public events where the audience is visible — faces, applause, raised hands, and anyone you call on speaking live on camera. Built on a broadcast CDN instead of a conference bridge, so it scales to millions of live participants, and encrypted in your browser.
- No attendee cap — relay fan-out, not licensed conference seats
- Encrypted in the browser — the CDN carries ciphertext it cannot read
- Join from one link — PC or mobile, nothing to install
- Raise a hand, get called on, speak on camera to the whole audience
Against a conferencing-based event platform
| Vivoh.Earth | Virtual events platforms | |
|---|---|---|
| Audience size | No cap. Viewers subscribe from the nearest relay, so the hundredth and the hundred-thousandth cost the same to serve. | Licensed attendee tiers with a hard ceiling — 3,000 is a common one. |
| Encryption | End to end between browsers. Frames are sealed before they leave and opened in the viewer; the CDN and every relay carry ciphertext only. | Encrypted in transit to the vendor, then decrypted on the vendor's servers. No end-to-end option. |
| What the vendor can see | Not the stream — it never passes through us, and we keep no recording. We do hold the key, so this is what we don't do rather than what we can't. Read the whole trade → | The full video, audio and chat, for as long as they retain it. |
| Transport | Media over QUIC — an IETF publish/subscribe transport designed for one-to-many, with sub-second latency. | WebRTC, designed for conferences, with a server mesh doing the fan-out. |
| Audience interaction | Face grid, emoji and GIF reactions, raise-a-hand queue, and a guest brought on with mic and camera. | Much the same. This is the part they do well, and the reason we built it. |
| Getting in | A link, in the browser you already have — iPhone included. Nothing to install, no account required of your audience unless you require one. | A link in the browser too. Parity. |

What your audience does
They have faces
Signed-in viewers appear as a wall of profile pictures under the video; anyone else picks a GIF or stays anonymous. Pictures travel sealed, as bytes — nobody's browser calls Google or Giphy to render the room. The grid seats 200; everyone past that keeps watching as normal.
They react
Emoji and GIFs fly across the stream and land on the sender's bubble, so a presenter can feel a room of thousands the way they'd feel a room of thirty. Reactions are encrypted on the same key as everything else.
They raise a hand
A visible queue, in order, on the presenter's screen. Call on someone and their hand comes down and the floor is theirs. Only one person holds it at a time, and it is released the moment they finish.
They speak, on camera
Being called on offers a microphone — it never opens one. The guest chooses voice, or voice and camera, and their picture joins the broadcast as a second inset that the presenter can move and resize. A host cannot unmute anybody; only a viewer can.
Built on open standards
Media over QUIC
An IETF transport for live media built on QUIC's multiplexed, loss-tolerant streams and built-in TLS 1.3. Publish/subscribe tracks and relay fan-out deliver sub-second, glass-to-glass latency on the open internet.
moq.pro CDN
Vivoh.Earth streams ride moq.pro, Luke Curley's hosted Media-over-QUIC network. Global relays with WebTransport and automatic WebSocket fallback, plus built-in reconnect — so a broadcast plays in every modern browser, including iPhone, and rides out flaky networks.
How you're protected
Your browser encrypts every frame before it leaves and the viewer's browser opens it; nothing in between ever holds a frame it can read. We hold the key and release it to the people you let in — which is what makes a bare link enough to join, and is a trade worth understanding before you rely on it. Who may watch is yours to set: require sign-in, and only people you can see by name get in. Read the whole trade →
