Bigo Live

Bigo Live is a global live-streaming platform for mobile and desktop creators.

URL Format

https://www.bigo.tv/{site_id}
https://www.bigo.tv/{locale}/{site_id}

Examples:

✅ HLS streams (single public quality, usually labeled live, typically ~540p portrait)
✅ Danmaku collection (guest WebSocket: public chat and gifts)
✅ Password-protected rooms
✅ Integrity token minting for website-parity API requests (enabled by default)
❌ Multi-quality / multi-bitrate selection on the public API path
❌ Account login or browser-only paths that may offer higher quality (e.g. 1080p HEVC)

Platform options are under Settings → Platforms → Bigo. Nothing is required for public rooms — add a URL and record.

Option	Default	Description
Stream Password (`stream_password`)	empty	Default password for locked rooms. Override per streamer with `?pwd=...` on the URL.
Mint Integrity Token (`mint_token`)	on	Sends a website-style integrity token with studio requests. Turn off only if minting fails on your network; most open rooms still work without it.

Set stream_password at the platform (or streamer) level, or
Append ?pwd=yourpassword to the streamer URL (URL wins over the platform default).

Without a password, locked rooms fail with a private-content error.

When danmaku is enabled for the streamer:

INFO

Quality: The public API exposes one media playlist per room (labeled live). That stream is usually mid-quality portrait video around 480p–540p (for example ~480×854 H.264). There is no multi-bitrate ladder on this path, and integrity tokens do not unlock a higher public rendition. Browser-reported 1080p HEVC, when present, is not available through this API.
Authentication: Cookies and OAuth are not required for recording or receiving chat.
Network: If integrity token minting is blocked, disable Mint Integrity Token and retry.
