Live Intercom is a team push-to-talk and live-event intercom built for production crews — live events, broadcast, theater, and multi-room coordination. Each crew member signs in to their team's server, joins a live event, and gets a matrix of audio channels they can listen to, talk on, or push-to-talk on. Audio is delivered in real time over WebRTC for low-latency, reliable communication. CHANNEL MODES - Off: muted, no audio in or out - Listen: hear the channel without transmitting - Talk: hear and transmit with an always-on open mic - PTT: hear and transmit only while holding the on-screen push-to-talk button KEY FEATURES - Multi-channel audio matrix so you can monitor several channels at once - Push-to-talk and open-mic talk modes per channel - Background audio: keep listening to the cue channel while your phone is locked or another app is in the foreground - iPhone Action Button and Shortcuts support to trigger push-to-talk hands-free - Bluetooth and AirPods support for routing call audio through your headset - QR-code or email sign-in to your team's self-hosted server BUILT FOR PRODUCTION TEAMS Live Intercom is designed for the people running the show — stage managers, directors, talent, and crew who need to stay coordinated in real time. It is not a consumer messaging app and includes no ads and no user tracking. A team server is required to use Live Intercom.
