Welcome to Talklo. We’re building room-based social spaces for live conversations, hosted communities, and better discussion online. This room is where we’ll share product updates, ideas, experiments, and what’s coming next. What makes a room worth coming back to for you?
There’s quite a bit to cover, so I’ll start here: livestreaming is an optional feature, not a requirement. Users can turn Live Video off anytime in room settings and continue using the room without going live.
Starting a livestream is simple: just click Start livestream when you’re ready to go live. When you want to finish, click End livestream to stop the stream.
When a livestream ends, the recording is saved as an episode in the room, where past livestreams can be replayed anytime from the Episodes page. In public rooms, any signed-in user can watch. In request-only and invite-only rooms, only joined users can view episodes.
Starting a livestream creates a dedicated Live chat for the duration of that session. After the livestream ends, the room returns to its persistent Room chat.
Rooms support three visibility types: Public — anyone can discover the room and watch livestreams. Only joined members can participate in chat. Private / Request — users must request access. Only joined members can watch livestreams and participate. Hidden / Invite — are not searchable and do not appear in Explorer. Only invited members can join, watch livestreams, and participate.
I’m really excited about this one. New feature: Live audio Hosts can start a live audio session and invite up to 4 speakers to join the audio panel while the room listens and participates through Live chat. When the session ends, the recording is automatically saved as an Episode that can be replayed later. Own your space.
Here’s what a Live audio session looks like in a room. Hosts can invite up to 4 speakers to join the audio panel while the room listens live and participates through chat.
After a live session ends, it becomes an Episode. Both live video and live audio sessions are automatically saved and appear in the Episodes page so they can be watched or listened to later.
Important update: Episodes in public rooms are now open to everyone — no sign-in required to watch or listen.
Update: Talklo → URoom Everything stays the same, just a name that better reflects the idea of users creating and hosting rooms.
New feature: Live screen record with camera and mic. Users can now record their screens with or with no camera, and also use a mic for commentary.
New feature: You can now upload videos to your room on URoom. Share updates, announcements, clips, and full videos with your community all in one place.
Some changes: I’ve removed the live video and audio features for now and shifted URoom’s focus fully toward upload videos. URoom idea originally started with live video and audio, and video uploads, but I felt the product became clearer when focused around one main idea: Create a room, upload videos, and build a community around your interests.
Quick note: you can customize your room by using an image hosting service like Cloudinary (it's free to use) upload your images, copy the URL link and set your room avatar/logo and room banner with that link. You can do the same for your user image.
Added Room info card with room creation date, members count, room visits and total video views. Also added Display name color. Now users can set a color for their display name in Account settings.
AI slop is not allowed.
To upload a video, click Editing room button in your room.
New feature: Post as room. Room owners can now publish official room posts and reply to video comments as their rooms.
New feature: Moments. You can now add a short one-line Moment to a video. Moments appear directly on the video for 10 seconds, using your avatar and display name, so people can react without interrupting the video. Each video has limited Moment slots based on its length, and each user can add one Moment per video. Room owners can manage Moments from Edit video.
New feature: Automated video announcements. When you upload a video, your room now posts an automatic room post with the video thumbnail and title.
New feature: Repost videos to room. Now room owners can repost videos to their room feed.
