AFK Live

Your channel stays live while you sleep. You choose how it looks.

Start free

10 free hours · No card · Pay by UPI

Upload your videos once, or stream from your phone. We keep it on air from our servers around the clock, with now playing, the clock and what’s next on screen. Your PC can be off. Send it to YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and Kick, several at once.

A lofi stream: a desk lamp and a rainy window at night, with "Now playing: Rain on the window, lofi mix" at the bottom and the time, 02:14, in the corner. Example

Rainy night lofi, live 24/7

An example. The words on screen are the Lofi and chill template, drawn by AFK Live.

What’s your channel?

A temple stream at dusk: a lit aarti thali and marigold garlands, with the now-playing and up-next lines in Hindi and the time, 18:42.

Temples, bhajans and aarti

  • Aarti at fixed times on its own schedule: morning and evening, every day. We start and stop it.
  • Now playing and what’s next in Hindi or English, with the clock in your time zone.
  • Your order is kept, so the aarti sequence plays as it should.

Leaving your PC on costs more than you think

Streaming 24/7 from OBS means a PC that never sleeps. Here’s the electricity, worked out with numbers you can change.

  • A power cut ends your stream until someone is home to start it again.
  • When the internet drops, YouTube ends the broadcast after about a minute. The next one has a new link, and its likes and viewers start again from zero.
  • Updates restart the PC at night, and the stream doesn’t come back on its own.

My PC uses watts, it’s on hours a day, and power costs a unit.

PC on, electricity a month
₹864
AFK Live Creator, PC off
₹499 / month

That’s ₹365 a month more than Creator, before the PC itself wears out.

How it’s worked out: 150 W × 24 h × 30 days ÷ 1000 = 108 units × ₹8 = ₹864. A desktop running OBS and a browser usually draws 100 to 250 watts; a gaming PC more. Most Indian home tariffs are ₹5 to ₹10 a unit at the higher slabs: check your bill.

Built for the hours nobody’s watching it

An example night, with the things that really go wrong, and what AFK Live does about each.

  1. You go to sleep

    Your stream is live on our servers. There’s nothing to keep open.

  2. A server fails

    Another one picks up your stream within a minute, from where it was. If YouTube drops the connection, we reconnect on our own.

  3. We ship an update

    Your stream moves to the new version without going off air.

  4. Your phone loses signal

    On a phone stream, viewers see Be right back with music, and you’re back the moment it reconnects.

    The Be right back screen viewers see, with the clock still running.
  5. You wake up

    An email only if something was down for more than a minute, and another when it was back. Not one every minute.

Questions people ask first

Is a 24/7 live allowed on YouTube?

Yes. No YouTube rule bans looped or pre-recorded lives. YouTube does ask that content isn’t repetitive or mass-produced, so give your stream variety: several videos shuffled, with now playing on screen. Loops and YouTube’s rules

Will my channel get monetised?

We can’t promise that, and nobody honestly can: YouTube decides, by its own rules. A stream that stays up keeps collecting watch time; what you stream decides the rest. What YouTube looks for

Can I use any music?

Use music you made, or music licensed for live streams. A copyrighted song can get your live interrupted, even with a licence, unless the owner has cleared your channel. No tool can tell you in advance whether a song will be claimed. Music on your live

Do I need to keep a PC on?

No. Your videos are on our servers and stream from there, so you can close your laptop. For a phone stream, your phone sends the camera and we add the rest.

What if my phone signal drops?

Viewers see your Be right back screen with music instead of the stream ending, and you’re back as soon as your phone reconnects. Go live from your phone

How do I pay?

By UPI or card, in rupees, with a GST invoice for every payment. The free plan needs no card.

Go to sleep. Stay live.
