destream Extension

destream is a browser extension for streamers, content creators to indirectly control web pages in their audience's browser, either live or as a destream session replay or through a linkage, a specific URL triggering destream sessions

the content creator installs the extension, creates a plurid account, and registers as a streamer. the audience installs the extension and subscribes to the streamer. the streamer activates the extension on certain web pages and starts streaming events (plays audio/video, scrolls the page, reacts to media, etc.)

the audience receives a notification when the streamer wants to control a web page and accepts the streamer's control providing the adequate control granularity, allowing full or partial control

the streamer's events (pause/play/URL change/like and so on) are reproduced in the audience's browsers. the streamer never gets to see the actual web page of the audience, all they get to do is to interact with their own web page in their browser and stream the events

the streamer/audience can deactivate the web page control at any time and can replay previous sessions. the streamer can edit/delete completed sessions and they can be replayed accordingly

the streamer/audience can explore previous sessions on destream.plurid.com
