Documentation

Latenz streams your desktop to any browser over WebRTC P2P. The cloud handles authentication, host registry, and signaling — media flows directly between your machine and the browser.

    └──────── WebRTC P2P (video + audio + input DataChannel) ──────┘

The host agent opens an outbound connection to the platform — no inbound ports on your machine. Capture and encode run on the GPU; only compressed video and audio cross the network.

Guides

Getting started — run the stack locally
Enroll a host — connect a machine from the dashboard
Video codecs — H.264, H.265, AV1 negotiation
Browser compatibility — fix missing codecs in your browser
Host configuration — environment variables

Components

Component	Role
`beam-host`	Native agent: GPU capture → hardware encode → WebRTC
`beam-platform`	Auth, host registry, WebSocket signaling
`latenz`	Web app: login, dashboard, browser viewer
