Abstract
Shig is a federated live stream broadcasting service designed to distribute live streams among cross-domain Fediverse instances on the backend side via WebRTC. The service has an ActivityPub implementation and clones the stream on the backend side. Shig is designed using the WHIP/WHEP approach for both incoming and outgoing streams, eliminating the necessity for an additional Signal Server. The "cloning" of live streams across domain boundaries enables different kinds of live video content distribution, as well as interactions with live streams, such as multi-guest streaming.
