ShowX Watch now
Live, crowd-cast television

You're not watching the show. You're in it.

Watch free, no account needed. Or join the queue and get cast into tonight's game show, dating show, murder mystery or classic play. Your camera goes on stage, a teleprompter keeps you on script, and a ranked host runs the floor.

How it works

Four steps from the couch to the podium

Every show is cast from the people who are watching it. Nobody auditions. The queue decides.

1

Watch

Open the app and you're in the audience. No account, no sign-up. Tap a cast member's tile to send hearts.

2

Queue

Like what you see? Join the queue for the next show. You'll see your position and which roles you're eligible for.

3

Get cast

At showtime the server casts the queue at random, matching people of similar experience. You get a role card and a green room to check your camera.

4

Perform

Your tile is on stage. A karaoke-style teleprompter lights up your next line. The host presses Next. The audience sends hearts.

Climb the ladder

Hearts tonight. Bigger roles next week.

Two things grow as you perform. Your tier only ever goes up and unlocks roles: first a contestant, later a co-host, eventually the main host. Your band is current form; it moves both ways and decides who you're cast with, so beginners learn together and the Marquee shows stay sharp.

For producers

A production truck in a tab

Producers schedule a format, cast the queue with one tap, direct every cue from a console, and broadcast the composited stage to Twitch, YouTube, Kick and Facebook Gaming at the same time. Same app, extra tab.

Schedule

Pick a format, a start time, a band target and a fill policy. Open the queue.

Cast

A live casting board: who's eligible for what, seeded random casting you can audit, re-cast and standby.

Direct

Scene and cue lists, Next / Back / Jump, timers, scores, board editor, mute and remove.

Broadcast

RTMP to the big platforms simultaneously. Stream keys stay on the server, never on a phone.

Everything producers get

AI Understudies, clearly labelled

When a seat can't be filled from the queue, or someone drops mid-show, an AI understudy takes the role so the show goes on. It reads its lines, plays the mechanics and shows up in the credits, always with an AI badge on its tile. Producers choose whether a show waits for humans, airs with understudies, or never uses them at all. The AI only ever speaks for its own role, never for you, and it never impersonates a real person.
