README excerpt
Piik Share the good stuff. Private screen sharing for you and up to 20 friends. Website · Download · Gitee mirror · Use online · Documentation English · 简体中文 Piik is a free, open-source screen sharing tool for private live streams with friends: games, movie nights, drawings and photos. Choose what to share and send an invitation. Your friends watch in their browsers. You can also self-host Piik on your own server. A little room · Show / hide animation Features · Get started · Self-hosting · Contributing ## Features - **Watch without installing.** Friends join by invitation in a desktop or mobile browser. - **Share from Piik App or an existing Piik site.** Choose a screen, window, browser tab or camera; available sources and audio depend on the platform. - **Direct connections first.** Media travels between participants where possible (P2P). A self-hosted server can provide automatic media forwarding (SFU) as a fallback. - **Rooms you control.** Invitations, room codes and optional room passwords, for one host and up to 20 viewers. - **Chat while watching.** Send messages and reactions to friends, with optional on-screen chat. - **Hand control to a friend.** When sharing through Piik App, optionally let one viewer use your keyboard and mouse, and take control back at any time. - **Flexible viewing.** Light and dark themes, playback controls, picture-in-picture and a connection topology view. - **One program to host a site.** Web UI, room management and optional media forwarding are packaged together.
