EMP Live
EMP Live is our free desktop client for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It connects to your Arcade-Verse account and gives you one-click streaming and optional local ROM support.
Go to downloads →The client is free and supports streaming to multiple targets at once (e.g. Arcade-Verse, YouTube, Twitch) using your own machine — so you can multistream without burning Arcade-Verse minutes for each destination. Your stream gets playback and discovery on Arcade-Verse: viewers find you on the live page. All users can opt in to be notified (by email) when someone goes live, so your audience never misses your stream.
What happens when streaming stays complicated?
- You waste hours on setup and encoder tweaks instead of playing or streaming.
- Viewers leave when the stream drops, buffers, or never starts.
- You miss going live because scene settings break or the stream key is wrong.
- The fun of sharing your gameplay gets lost in tech headaches and troubleshooting.
EMP Live vs OBS (traditional setup)
| EMP Live | OBS (traditional setup) |
|---|---|
| EMP Live or browser: one-click streaming, ez setup | Install and configure OBS (or similar), then set up scenes and encoders |
| Stream key and playback URL in one place; go live in minutes | Find stream key in one app, paste into another; multiple windows to manage |
| Browser streaming with ez setup — no separate encoder app | Run game, OBS, and streaming dashboard separately |
| EMP Live desktop client for multi-target streaming | Manual multistream setup and extra third-party tools |
Quality constraints: encoding and network limits apply. For the best experience, use a stable connection. Download the latest build from emp-live.com.
