For Viewers

Watch events your way

Switch angles in real time, let AI pick the best shot, or build your own multi-screen setup. No other platform gives you this level of control.

AI Director Mode

Signature Feature

Let our AI automatically cut to the best angle in real time — analyzing stability, lighting, audio clarity, and crowd energy across every feed simultaneously.

Split-Screen Multi-Feed

Exclusive

Watch 2, 4, or 6 contributor feeds simultaneously in a perfectly time-synced grid. Each cell has independent volume control. Click any cell to expand to full screen.

Venue Map View

See every camera's physical position on an interactive venue floor plan. Tap any camera dot to instantly switch to that perspective — choose your angle by location.

Timestamped Timeline

Every key moment is automatically detected and pinned to the event timeline. Jump directly to the crowd's peak energy, the headliner's entrance, or the surprise guest.

One-Tap Clipping

Hit the Clip button at any moment to save a 30-second highlight from any feed to your profile. Share it directly to social media with a branded Astral watermark.

Astral Replay

Coming Soon

After the event, scrub the full timeline and switch between any contributor feed at any timestamp. Build your own personalized edit of the event — your memory, your angles.

For Contributors

Your phone is a broadcast studio

Film from your unique position, earn per view, and build a reputation as a trusted Astral contributor — all from your smartphone.

Go Live in Seconds

Open the Broadcast page, select your event, and tap Go Live. No equipment needed — just your smartphone. Your feed is instantly available to all event viewers.

Dual Capture System

Film live during the event or upload from your camera roll afterward. Both paths feed into the same event timeline, so post-event uploads are just as valuable as live streams.

Real-Time Quality Feedback

AI monitors your feed live and surfaces instant tips: stability warnings when your shot gets shaky, lighting alerts in dark zones, and audio level indicators throughout.

Moment Ownership

When AI Director selects your feed as the best angle for a key moment, you become the Moment Owner. Your credit appears permanently on that clip and you earn royalties on every view, share, and license.

Live Leaderboard

Every event has a real-time leaderboard ranking all contributor feeds by viewer count. Top-ranked feeds earn priority placement in the feed selector and bonus compensation.

Contributor Badge Tiers

Earn Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum Lens badges based on cumulative watch hours, clip rates, and leaderboard finishes. Higher tiers unlock priority placement and exclusive perks.

Live Event Analytics

Monitor viewer counts, peak concurrent viewers, engagement rates, and geographic reach in real time as your event unfolds. No waiting for post-event reports.

Feed Approval Controls

Monetization

Everyone earns on Astral

From pay-per-view events to contributor royalties and moment licensing — the platform is built so that great content is always rewarded.

Pay-Per-View Access

Set a price for premium events. Viewers purchase access to watch the full multi-angle experience. Revenue is split between the platform, organizer, and contributors.

Subscription Tiers

Viewers can subscribe for unlimited access to all events. Free, Premium, and Pro tiers give you flexibility to serve casual fans and power users alike.

Contributor Earnings

Contributors earn per 1,000 seconds of watch time, per clip saved from their feed, and bonus payouts for leaderboard placements and Moment Ownership royalties.

Moment Licensing

Iconic moments can be licensed to media outlets, brands, and broadcasters. Moment Owners receive a direct revenue share every time their capture is licensed.

Social

Watch together, share everything

Live events are better with friends. Create synchronized watch parties, react in real time, and share the moments that matter.

Watch Parties

Create a synchronized viewing room and invite friends. Everyone watches the same feed at the same time, with shared chat, emoji reactions, and the ability to vote on which angle to switch to.

Live Event Chat

Every event has a moderated live chat feed. React with emojis, discuss key moments, and see floating reactions from other viewers overlaid on the stream in real time.

One-Click Social Sharing

Share any clip or moment directly to Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, and YouTube with auto-generated captions, aspect ratio variants, and branded Astral watermarks.

Contributor Profiles

Every contributor has a public profile showcasing their top captures, Moment Ownership credits, badge tier, and total watch hours earned. Follow contributors to get notified at future events.

AI & Technology

Intelligence behind every cut

Astral's AI layer runs continuously across all feeds — scoring, detecting, moderating, and assembling — so every viewer gets a broadcast-quality experience.

AI Camera Ranking

Every feed is continuously scored on six dimensions: resolution, stability, lighting quality, framing composition, audio clarity, and crowd energy. Rankings update dynamically as conditions change.

Viral Moment Detection

AI detects major moments in real time — cheering spikes, stage effects, crowd surges, and performer highlights — and pins them to the event timeline instantly.

Auto Multicam Highlights

After the event, AI assembles a cinematic highlight reel from the best clips across all feeds, with intelligent transitions and audio mixing. Published within minutes of the event ending.

AI Content Moderation

All feeds are scanned automatically before going live. Face blur, audio filtering, and content policy checks run in real time to protect viewers and comply with platform guidelines.

Great footage starts with the basics

Astral contributors film on smartphones. Our in-app guidance helps you capture broadcast-quality footage from wherever you're standing.

Framing

Rule of thirds, landscape mode, stable horizon — the foundations of a great shot.

Lighting

Face the light source, lock exposure on the subject, and let the camera auto-adjust to stage lighting.

Audio

Minimize wind noise, stay close to the source, and test a 10-second clip before going live.

Stability

Two-handed grip, elbows tucked, slow deliberate pans — or rest your phone on a railing for hands-free stability.

Early Adopters

What people are saying

From fans in the crowd to artists on stage — Astral changes how everyone experiences live events.

“I watched a sold-out concert from six different angles simultaneously. I literally saw my friend in the crowd on one feed while watching the stage on another. Nothing else does this.”

“I filmed a festival from the photo pit and made $340 in a single weekend. The AI Director picked my feed as the best angle for the headline act's opening song — that moment alone earned me $80.”

P

Priya S.

Contributor • Gold Lens badge

“We replaced our entire live stream production setup with Astral. Our audience tripled because viewers could choose their own perspective. Setup took 20 minutes instead of a full production day.”

“The setlist analytics showed me that our second song drove 3x more clips than anything else we played. We moved it to the encore for the next tour and engagement went through the roof.”
