Play it in a tab, stream it in OBS. CefMedia Relay carries any browser tab's video and audio straight into OBS Studio through shared memory — locally, in real time, with no capture card and no re-encoding.
Three steps, zero cloud. Media frames never leave your machine.
CefMedia Relay is a custom browser built for streaming workflows. Flip the Relay checkbox on any tab you want to send to OBS.
Video and audio are handed to OBS through local shared-memory channels — real time, no network round-trip, no quality loss from re-encoding.
Add the CefMedia Relay source or use the built-in recorder output. Keep browsing while OBS captures — playback speed control is included.
Everything runs locally: your content, your machine, your stream.
Relay up to five tabs at once. Bind each OBS source or recorder to its own channel and mix them freely in your scenes.
Record straight to MKV/MP4 with H.264 + AAC, independent of OBS scenes — or add the source and composite it your way.
Speed a tab up to 3x while recording; OBS receives the accelerated stream in sync.
All processing happens on your machine over shared memory. No media content is uploaded, stored, or relayed through any server.
Shared-memory transport means minimal CPU overhead compared to window capture or external capture cards.

Download CefMedia Relay 1.0.0 for Windows (x64)Installer includes the CefMedia Relay browser and the OBS Studio plugin. Requires Windows 10/11 x64 and OBS Studio 28 or newer.
It bridges what plays inside its built-in browser into OBS Studio in real time via local shared memory. You get a dedicated browser for source-hunting and a clean, lossless feed into OBS — instead of a window capture of your whole desktop.
No. CefMedia Relay does not decrypt or bypass any third-party Digital Rights Management system. Streams protected by DRM (such as those on major premium platforms) cannot be captured and will appear as a black screen. CefMedia Relay is intended for content you are authorized to record.
No — it is a one-time purchase. Your license stays valid while the app can periodically reach our license server (it renews automatically in the background) and keeps working offline for up to a year between renewals.

Windows 10 or 11 (x64), OBS Studio 28 or newer, and a GPU/driver setup capable of hardware video decoding in the browser. The installer bundles everything else.
