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.

## 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.

## Get started
**To watch:** open the invitation your friend sends you. Select **Play** if the
picture does not start automatically.
**To share:** download **Piik App** to get started. To share without installing,
you can also create a room in the online version.
| Start here | What you need to do |
| --- | --- |
| Use Piik online | Share from a desktop browser, or choose Camera on a phone with browser camera support. |
| Download Piik App | Extract and open the App, choose **Public invite**, then **Open Piik** to create a temporary room. |
1. Select **Start sharing**, then choose the picture and audio to share.
2. Select **Copy invite link** and send it to your friends. Keep the sharing tab open.
Turn on the **Microphone** for commentary; its settings let you choose the input
device and adjust your voice volume.
Piik follows your system language: Chinese or English, with English as the fallback.
Use **中 / EN / ✦** in the header to switch language or try the visual mode.
The App can create a local room or temporary public invitation, and stays
available to supply capture for an approved site. Keep it running while sharing.
Download a ZIP beginning with **`piik-app`**. The filename also identifies the platform:
| Filename contains | Platform |
| --- | --- |
| `windows-amd64` | Windows x64 |
| `darwin-arm64` | Apple silicon; native capture requires macOS 13+ |
| `darwin-amd64` |
