A run of show for your live stream
Segments, hosts, and scene cues in one run of show your whole crew follows live. Built for streamers, live podcasts, and scripted online shows.
Why NextShow for livestreams and podcasts
A scripted stream has more moving parts than it seems: scenes, hosts, guests, overlays, chat. NextShow keeps segments, hosts, and scene cues in one run of show, so the producer, the co-host, and the remote guest stay on the same beat without talking over the show to coordinate.
Advance the rundown from the gear you already press
Every show has share links, and every share panel carries plain HTTP control links: next segment, previous, jump to a number. Anything that can fire a web request can press them, a Stream Deck button, a Bitfocus Companion page, a vMix shortcut, an OBS-side script. The rundown advances, and every open link follows.
The columns stream crews use

| Starting soon | 0:00 | 5 min | Producer | BRB scene | Countdown |
| Intro | 0:05 | 3 min | Host | Camera scene | Welcome |
| Main topic | 0:08 | 20 min | Host | Camera + slides | Talking points |
| Guest interview | 0:28 | 15 min | Host + guest | Two-box scene | Remote guest |
| Q&A | 0:43 | 10 min | Host | Chat overlay scene | Live questions |
| Outro | 0:53 | 3 min | Host | Ending scene | Sign off |
Share one link with the whole crew
The producer holds the Edit link, and everyone else follows the View link on a second monitor or a phone. Mark the active segment as you stream, and the whole crew sees what is live and what is next, including the scene each segment expects.
Build the next episode's rundown in NextShow and put the View link on the second monitor. If the show does not run tighter, close the tab; nothing was installed.
The Free plan is a real tool: all your columns, live sharing, live mode, up to 5 segments per run of show.
View and Edit links open in any modern browser. Nobody creates an account to follow the show.
A single show that needs more than 5 segments unlocks fully for 30 days. No subscription.
Build your run of show in the browser
Free to start. No install, no app, no card. Build it, share one link, and update it live while the show runs.

Questions
What is a stream run of show?
A stream run of show is the segment plan for a livestream or live podcast: what happens, who hosts it, how long it runs, and the OBS scene it expects, from the starting-soon loop to the outro.
How do I share it with a co-host and producer?
Send the View link for following and the Edit link for building. Both open in the browser, so a remote co-host can read the rundown next to the call window with no setup.
How do I keep segments on time?
Durations plus the drift indicator. You always know if the show is running ahead or behind, and when a segment stretches, the rest of the rundown re-times itself so you can plan the recovery.
