# Streamrun

> Streamrun is a cloud streaming engine. Your encoder, phone, or OBS sends one stream to Streamrun, and Streamrun delivers it to Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok, Instagram, or any RTMP/SRT destination. It adds disconnect protection, multistreaming with per-destination encoding, horizontal and vertical dual format output, device switching mid-stream, live captions, and a REST API.

Streamrun accepts RTMP, SRT, and SRTLA input. It runs entirely in the cloud, so no hardware or self-hosted server is required. Plans: Streamrun Go (flat subscription for creators) and Streamrun Pro (pay-as-you-go credits for productions and platforms).
