Backstage Pass

Destinations: multiply the front stage

Connect the platforms you already stream to. A BackstagePass-only stream is a real stream; platforms multiply reach.

Destinations are the front stage: the platforms your stream also plays on. A BackstagePass-only stream is a real stream — connect platforms when you want the bigger front stage. The roster lives at Studio → Destinations.

The destinations screen: your room first, then connected feeds with their observed state, then unconnected platforms grouped by how they connect
  1. Your room — the one destination that needs no connection and can't ban you.
  2. A connected feed leads with what was actually observed, and when — never a bare verdict.
  3. The unconnected shelf, grouped by connect depth: one tap, paste a key once, or a fresh key each show.
Studio → Destinations. Your room leads the roster; everything else is grouped by how it connects.

Three ways a platform connects

Every platform row links its own setup guide, written from that platform's screens. Pasting a key is the industry norm — most platforms offer no other way in, for us or anyone.

“Proven” means proven

A feed is only called proven after a show has actually gone out through it. The Sound Check verifies what can be checked before a show — a sign-in by a real round trip, a pasted address by its shape — and says plainly what can't.

Zoom and OBS

External encoders don't connect here. When your show's ingest takes an encoder, the control room shows the address and key to point Zoom (Settings → Live Streaming → Custom) or OBS (Settings → Stream) at, and the sound check lights up when the signal lands. Where the media plane's ingest is the room itself, the control room says so instead of showing a field you'd paste nothing into.

Your website is a front stage too

The destinations screen carries one iframe snippet. Paste it into your site once: it shows the room live, the next show when you're dark, and the latest encore in between — and every viewer is one tap from the room.

Webhooks

When the moment happens, your own stack can hear it — your site, your community bot, anything with a URL. One signed POST per moment, retried until it lands, with the signature documented on the screen. No fan's name or number ever rides a payload. An endpoint that fails repeatedly pauses itself and says so; turning it back on is one tap.
