Beam Docs

Everything needed to understand Beam from first session to deployment.

Beam combines a desktop host app, a browser-ready join path, a relay-backed network layer, and a session API. These docs are the public reference for how those pieces fit together.

Open API

Beam architecture at a glance

Host surface

The Windows host app gives operators a share code, hosting controls, recent sessions, and connection settings in one place.

Viewer surface

Beam is designed so the viewer can enter through a browser-friendly path rather than being redirected to a generic meeting client.

Infrastructure surface

Relay, signaling, WebRTC, and API services work together so a team can run Beam across normal internet connections and still keep control of the experience.
