Documentation

ark.commentary is a self-hosted platform for remote commentary on live broadcasts. A commentator joins from their browser through an invite link, talks into a USB microphone, and the audio reaches your control room at broadcast latency over WebRTC.

A docker compose file and a domain are all it takes — follow the install guide and your control room is ready in about 30 minutes.
