Live audio for Flarum

Go live on any discussion.

Live audio built into your forum: go live on any discussion, or keep standing voice channels open around the clock. The thread is the chat — and when the show ends, the conversation stays.

The discussion is the room.

Not another app your community has to join — a stage on the forum they’re already on, with a thread that outlives the show.

The thread is the chat

A live room attaches to a normal discussion — sticky it, tag it, moderate it. Replies stream in live for everyone in the room while you talk, and the whole conversation stays when the room ends.

Unlimited listeners

Everyone who can see the discussion can tune in — guests included, one click, no signup. Listeners are never metered and never billed.

Voice channels

Designate any discussion as a standing voice room: always open, join and you’re speaking, drop in and out all day — and it never blocks going live elsewhere.

Host tools built in

Speaker policies — open stage, raise-hand, author-only — plus mute and remove from the participants list, and followers get notified the moment you go live.

Your own audio server

Every channel is a dedicated media server on its own subdomain. We run, patch, and update it; you never touch a config file.

One-key setup

Install the free Chirp extension and paste one key. Speakers need a browser and a microphone — nobody downloads anything.

On air in a minute.

No media servers, no port forwarding, no app for your members — buy, paste, go live.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Chirp live audio for Flarum.

What is Chirp?
Chirp adds live audio rooms to your Flarum forum. Go live on any discussion: speakers take the stage, unlimited listeners tune in with one click, and the thread itself is the chat. We run the audio server; you paste one key.
What happens when a room ends?
The discussion remains — every reply, every link, the whole conversation, right where your community already lives. That’s the point: a Twitter Space or Discord stage evaporates when it ends; a Chirp room leaves a thread your forum keeps forever.
Do listeners need an account?
No. Anyone who can see the discussion can listen — including guests, in one click, no signup. Listeners are unlimited on every channel; they’re never metered and never billed.
How many people can speak?
Up to 50 people on stage at once — included with every channel, no per-speaker charges. Who may take the mic is a normal Flarum permission you control, and speaker policies (open stage, raise-hand, author-only) let the host run the room live.
Can it work like a Discord voice channel?
Yes. Designate any discussion as a standing voice channel: it stays open around the clock, joining means speaking, and moderators can mute or remove anyone from the participants list. Voice channels are never recorded and never block a live show.
Do replies update live during a room?
Yes — everyone in the room sees new replies appear in the thread instantly while the audio runs, built in, no realtime add-on required. Want the whole forum live all the time? That’s our Warble product, and the two pair naturally.
Can I run two rooms at the same time?
Each channel runs one live show at a time — for simultaneous shows, buy another channel; each is its own dedicated audio server and its own subscription. Standing voice channels are different: designate as many as you like, and they never block going live.
How do I set it up?
Install the free Chirp extension, then paste one key from your dashboard into a single field. Your forum connects to your channel’s dedicated audio server automatically — no servers, ports, or media configuration. Built for zero server experience.
Do speakers need special software?
No — just a browser and a microphone. Listeners need even less: one click and the audio plays. There’s nothing for anyone to download, on desktop or mobile.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes — channels bill monthly and cancel from your dashboard in one click; the audio server simply stops. Every discussion your rooms ever ran on stays on your forum, untouched.
