Three things that set Zpod apart
1080p 60 FPS without Nitro
On Discord, streaming in 1080p 60 FPS needs Nitro. On Zpod you stream your screen or game at up to 1080p 60 FPS, with game audio, for free.
Nothing to install to watch
Share your stream link: anyone who opens zpod.zibidigames.com/yourname watches in the browser without an account, with the stream chat right on the page.
No VPN needed
You connect straight to Zpod's servers — no VPN, no port forwarding, no extra setup. Windows app or browser, same account.
Low-latency voice chat with your gaming friends
Start your own channel, open as many voice rooms as you like and invite friends with a code. Talking mid-match is one key away.
- Voice activity or push to talk — you pick the key, mouse side buttons work too
- Noise and echo suppression — strong mode runs RNNoise on your device
- Double-click someone in the room to whisper only to them
- Someone too loud? Turn them down or mute them just for you
Stream your game at up to 1080p 60 FPS
Join a voice room, pick your screen or a single game window and go live. Everyone in the room clicks the LIVE badge next to your name to watch.
- Quality options from 480p up to 1080p 60 FPS
- Add game audio and your mic to the stream
- Every viewer picks the quality that fits their connection
- No Nitro, no subscription, no separate streaming software
- Go live on YouTube too, in one click
Like Twitch: anyone with the link watches in the browser
Turn on “Public with link” and your stream goes live at zpod.zibidigames.com/yourname. Viewers don't need to install Zpod or create an account.
- Opens in any browser — computer, phone or tablet
- Stream chat on the same page
- Share the link on WhatsApp, Discord or X with a preview image
- No ads, no sign-up required
Go live on YouTube in one click
Paste your stream key once, then tick “Also send to YouTube” when you go live. The same stream goes live on Zpod and on your own YouTube channel at the same time — no OBS, no extra software.
- No OBS or extra software needed
- One upload from your PC: our server relays it to YouTube
- Video isn't re-encoded; game audio and mic go along
- Your key stays encrypted on your PC, never stored on our server
Paste your key once
Add the stream key from YouTube Studio in Settings > Streaming. You won't be asked again.
Tick “Also send to YouTube”
One checkbox when you start the stream; Zpod handles the rest.

A Discord and Twitch alternative in one app
Zpod is a voice chat app for talking with friends while you play, and a screen share app at the same time: share your game or a single window from 480p up to 1080p 60 FPS, with game audio. Set up channels and voice rooms like on Discord, and talk with push-to-talk or an always-on mic.
Nobody has to install anything to watch. Share your stream link (zpod.zibidigames.com/yourname) and anyone who opens it watches the live stream in the browser, picks the quality that fits their connection and joins the stream chat. As a Twitch alternative there is no sign-up, subscription or ads; it is completely free for zibidigames.com members.

How do I watch a stream?
