+# ownCast
+
+**Owncast** is an open-source, self-hosted live video and web chat server. It allows anyone to run their own streaming platform similar to Twitch or YouTube Live — without relying on centralized services. Whether you're streaming games, music, art, or hosting online events, Owncast provides you with full control over your content and audience experience.
+
+## 🚀 Key Features
+
+* **Live Video Streaming**
+  Stream using standard broadcasting software like OBS Studio, directly to your Owncast server using RTMP.
+
+* **Integrated Web Chat**
+  Built-in, real-time chat with emoji, moderation tools, and custom branding options.
+
+* **Web Interface**
+  A responsive, customizable frontend for viewers, including live status, video, chat, and stream details.
+
+* **Federation**
+  Supports ActivityPub to interact with Fediverse platforms like Mastodon — followers can get stream notifications and interact directly from their accounts.
+
+* **Analytics Dashboard**
+  Provides stream statistics, viewer counts, and chat activity for monitoring performance and engagement.
+
+* **Custom Branding**
+  Modify logos, color themes, titles, descriptions, and more for a personalized experience.
+
+* **Plugins and Integrations**
+  Extend functionality using community-developed or custom plugins via [owncast/extensions](https://github.com/owncast/extensions).
