Yappium is chat for communities and friends: text channels, forums, voice, video and screen share, in a browser or the Windows app, with push-to-talk that works while you're in a game. It's free, with no ads and no selling of your data, and you never have to show your face or ID. Anyone can run their own Yappium server for free on Linux, Windows or Docker and open it from the same app. Optional supporter plans start at US$3 a month.
LensCap keeps the last few minutes of your game in a rolling buffer encoded on the GPU, so one hotkey saves what already happened. Trim and edit clips in the built-in multi-track editor, share them as a link, or stream live to Twitch and Kick. Recording is free, with no watermark, no ads and no account, on any GPU with a hardware encoder. Built from scratch for Windows, not on top of OBS. Pro (US$5 a month) only raises the sharing limits.
