The landing page seems to provide absolutely zero information other than giving off the impression that something may be taking an extremely long time to load. Edit: Seems to just be completely broken in Firefox...

Sorry about that. We fixed this earlier. Please let us know if you're still having issues.

That in and out scrolling of images doesn't seem to work properly in all cases, so I am getting overlapping images which looks like an error. Personally I would tune that scrolling down a little bit.

Does this mean I could livestream to an arbitrary number of viewers for 99 dollars a month? How does bandwidth factor into this?

Great question, we don't have any user caps or limitations as we pass through bandwidth costs. The bandwidth costs are pay as you go. For reference: Live encoding of input stream ($0.07/min), video stream delivery ($0.0013/min) and video storage ($0.003/min) apply. Billed at the end of each payment cycle.

That's one of the problems with running streaming on AWS. While your objective normally is to increase your audience it also means that you will pay more and more. That's why we switched to a cloud provider that doesn't charge for traffic.

was interested in this when I checked it via mobile I did not find a terms.. then checked again today found terms link, and found" input, upload, transmit, or otherwise provide to or through the PBJ Live Platform any information or materials that are injurious, infringing, libelous, pornographic, offensive"

Well that counts me out. If you folks decide to release code that we can self host, so as to avoid any conflicts of concern in that terms area, I'd still be interested perhaps.
