Go live — without the pressure of a real audience. SambaLive (formerly GoLive) is a live streaming simulator. Tap Go Live and a room fills with virtual viewers who comment, ask questions, send gifts and react while you talk. It all runs on your device. Nothing is broadcast anywhere. The room, without the risk — a place to get comfortable on camera before it counts. A ROOM THAT REACTS TO YOU • Viewers arrive over time and are announced as they join • Comments come at a natural pace instead of a steady tick • Type something and the room answers you by name • Questions, cheers, compliments or push-back, depending on the tone you choose CHOOSE THE CROWD YOU NEED • Happy — high energy and hype • Supportive — encouragement when you want it • Kind — warm and gentle, good for a first try • Liking — relaxed and appreciative • Loving — fan-level enthusiasm • Jealous — envious and competitive, to practice staying composed • Aggressive — challenging comments, for a thicker skin Hear how each tone sounds before you pick it, and switch tones mid-stream without stopping. Some tones are hidden for younger users. GIFTS, HEARTS AND REACTIONS • Animated gifts: roses, hearts, stars, coins, diamonds, crowns, fire and rockets • Rare gifts stay rare, so a crown actually feels like a moment • Floating hearts and a viewer count that climbs while you talk TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • Every stream ends with a recap: time on air, peak audience, likes, gifts and the XP you earned • XP and levels that grow with every session • Personal bests for your longest stream and biggest audience • Lifetime stats: streams, practice time, likes and gifts received CAPTURE THE MOMENT • Record the whole session to video — your camera, the comments and the gifts, exactly as you saw them • Screenshot mid-stream with the audience on screen • Save to Photos or share anywhere PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. No account, no sign-up, no social network, nothing uploaded. The viewers, the comments and the numbers are simulated — this app does not broadcast to the internet and does not connect you with real people.

It goes straight to the team, and we read every message.
