Stream-share viewer, explained
The stream-share viewer is an anonymous link that lets a friend watch your radar live without a license of their own. Here's how it works and what it does and doesn't expose.

The stream-share viewer is one of Favade's headline features: a one-line link you can give to anyone - a teammate, a friend, a coach - that lets them watch your live radar without owning a license themselves.
How it works
- You generate a share code from the radar viewer's settings.
- The code is a short, unguessable string. The full URL looks like
radar.favade.org/<code>. - You send the URL to anyone you want to give read-only radar access.
- They open the URL in any browser. The viewer subscribes to your live channel and renders the radar in real time.
- You can revoke the code at any time from your settings.
What viewers see
A stream-share viewer sees the same radar surface you do - players, the bomb, utilities, ESP annotations. They're watching, not interacting; there is no chat, no overlay on their game, no way for them to control your view.
What viewers don't see
- Your account or license details
- The other channels your account is subscribed to
- Anything outside the active match's radar surface
Why it's useful
The original use case is letting a teammate or a coach watch your match without buying their own copy of Favade. It also doubles as an answer to "can I see what this looks like before I buy?" - there's almost always a live stream-share running in our Discord server.
Anonymity
Share codes are pseudo-anonymous. The receiver doesn't have to log in or create an account. They just open the URL. We log the connection on our side for abuse prevention but don't require identity from the viewer.
Revocation
A code lives until you revoke it. If you suspect a code was leaked, generate a new one and revoke the old. There's no limit on how many codes you can create over time.
