Getting to know

xplex —your personal, open-source multi-streaming server to go live everywhere, all at once.

---

Why xplex?

Streaming to just one platform is limiting. xplex removes that barrier by letting you stream to all the platforms you’ve configured—Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, and more—simultaneously.

Think of it this way…

Just like an HDMI splitter sends one video signal to multiple screens, xplex forwards your stream to multiple platforms—no extra load on your main computer, no compromises.

Who is it for?

xplex is built for content creators who want:

• Greater reach without platform lock-in
• Freedom from expensive multi-streaming services
• Full control over their stream data and infrastructure
• An open source, extensible, self-hostable solution

Ready for everyone

Previously only suited for technical users—now anyone can multi-stream with xplex . With the new 1-click setup, getting started is easier than ever.

How does it run?

You can deploy xplex in a way that fits your setup:

• Cloud server (recommended) — ideal for network stability and bandwidth
• Local machine or homelab — works well, as long as it’s not your main workstation

Compute & Complexity

No transcoding means low overhead. Your stream is passed through as-is, preserving quality and minimizing compute needs. Even a budget VPS can handle it.

What does it cost?

xplex is free and open source, licensed under MPLv2.0.

Your only cost is hosting. Depending on your cloud provider, you can get started with minimal investment — or even free credits via our provider reference.
