Real-time OBS stream delay without restarting.

There's no permanent free tier, but the Monthly plan comes with a 7-day free trial — no charge until the trial ends, cancel any time before that with zero cost. After the trial it's $4.99/month, or save 25% with the yearly plan at $45/year.

One setting, one time. Open OBS → Settings → Stream and change the Server to rtmp://127.0.0.1:1936/live. Start AntiSnipe first, then go live in OBS as normal. AntiSnipe intercepts the feed, holds it in a local buffer, and forwards it to your destinations with the delay applied. No plugins, no OBS extensions.

OBS's Stream Delay (Settings → Advanced) is a blunt instrument: to change the delay value you must stop and restart your stream. Every adjustment means dead air for your viewers. AntiSnipe changes the delay mid-stream, instantly — click a preset, hit Apply, done. No downtime. You can also arm a delay silently in the background while you're already live, jump back to real-time in one click, and stream to multiple platforms simultaneously. OBS delay was designed as a compliance buffer, not as a sniping defense you can operate on the fly.

You set a buffer capacity when you configure AntiSnipe — options are 60s, 90s, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, or 5 minutes. Your delay can be anywhere up to that cap. The default presets are 5s, 15s, and 30s, but you can add any custom value. Switch presets mid-stream without dropping or restarting.

Armed mode solves a specific problem: if you apply a delay cold, your viewers see a "buffer filling" gap before the stream catches up. Armed mode lets you click a preset to start silently building the buffer, then hit Apply Now the moment it's ready. The stream jumps back instantly — no dead air, no gap, no visible transition. Perfect for the moment queue pops and you click Accept.

Yes. AntiSnipe runs a local server that exposes a browser overlay at http://localhost:3737/overlay. Add it as a Browser Source in OBS and it automatically shows your viewers the current delay — updates live as you change it. Great for keeping chat informed without having to say it manually.

Twitch, YouTube, Kick, and custom RTMP destinations out of the box. TikTok is supported via a local relay mode. You can add multiple destinations and stream to all of them simultaneously — each destination runs independently, so if one drops the others stay up. Destinations are managed from the ⚙️ icon in the app.

Neither. AntiSnipe buffers your stream at full bitrate without re-encoding, so what viewers see is identical quality to what OBS outputs. Recordings happen before the delay is applied — your local VODs are entirely unaffected and always in real time.

AntiSnipe exposes a public API for your channel at antisnipe.com/api/v1/streamer/{userId}/delay?format=text. Add that URL to any chatbot's custom command response and viewers can type !delay to instantly see how far behind the stream is. Works with Nightbot, Fossabot, StreamElements, and Streamlabs — one URL, no extra setup.
