OwnCast is a live streaming Fediverse server with built-in chat window, sort of like the Fedi's own alternative to Twitch.

You can follow OwnCast accounts from Mastodon etc, and they will post a message in your timeline when they start streaming.

The project's official account is at @owncast@fosstodon.org and the website is at owncast.online. There's a demo stream at watch.owncast.online

If you want to find streamers, there's a directory at directory.owncast.online and you can follow a bot that posts about new streamers at @owncast@botsin.space. You can also follow @FediVideos which boosts livestreams as well as PeerTube videos.

Some accounts I personally recommend following are @rstv, @Hamish, @live, @ozoned, @hatnix and @jnktn_tv

If you want to create your own OwnCast server, there's a quickstart guide at owncast.online/quickstart and in-depth documentation at owncast.online/docs
