Music-first livestreaming: ticketed shows, tips and merch in one player, with 100% of tips passing to the artist and an 80/20 split on ticketed revenue. The music-native counterweight to general-purpose platforms.
- Best for
- Turning livestreams into ticket and tip revenue, music-natively. Artists with an existing audience who want to monetize concerts, listening parties, Q&As, and exclusive content—especially acts performing at one of Volume’s wired U.S. venues.
- Skip if
- You stream casually — Twitch habits transfer better there. You need Twitch or YouTube-scale discovery, want a fully built-in browser production studio, or do not already have fans you can drive to a smaller platform.
- First move
- Apply via the contact form with links to past live footage.
- Watch out
- Discovery depends heavily on your own promotion, and ticketed-show fees are not transparent. OBS/RTMP requires technical setup outside partner venues; test the paywall carefully because failing to enable “Require Tickets” can expose a paid stream for free. The iOS app also has a very small review sample and recent complaints about app access.
