Exploring
The Live Map shows public broadcasts from MiniStream creators as a heat map. Tap anywhere to see what's live in that area, then pick a broadcast to preview it and open it on the platform it's streaming to.
- On a broadcast's preview, tap Notify me when they go live to subscribe. The bell at the top lists your subscriptions and lets you search for people.
- Subscribing never tells the broadcaster who you are.
Appearing on the map
Showing your broadcast on the map is your choice, per broadcast, on the Go Live setup screen.
- Your location is blurred to a general area — viewers see “somewhere around” a place, never a street or address.
- The pin shows your broadcast's title and thumbnail, not your face or name.
- Ghost Mode in Settings keeps you off the map entirely, for every broadcast.
Blocking and reporting
From a broadcast's preview you can:
- Block the broadcaster — none of their broadcasts appear on your map again. Undo it in Settings → Blocked broadcasters.
- Report a broadcast — it disappears from your map straight away, and is reviewed if enough people report it.
Blocking or reporting only affects MiniStream's map. To stop a broadcast on YouTube, Twitch or Facebook, report it on that platform too.
