What it does
InstantDelay is a specialized desktop application that allows live streamers to dynamically add, remove, or adjust broadcast delays in real-time. Unlike traditional methods that require restarting your stream or modifying complex server settings, this tool acts as an RTMP bridge to provide instantaneous control.
Why founders need it
For founders building in the creator economy, gaming, or entertainment space, InstantDelay addresses a massive pain point: the trade-off between community engagement and protection against stream sniping. It allows creators to maintain a high-quality, interactive broadcast while instantly ramping up security during sensitive gameplay moments.
