Channelle is a self-hosted multimedia communication platform designed specifically for the free culture sector, enabling artists, cultural workers, and activists to create autonomous digital spaces for performances, lectures, and cultural events without corporate control. Built as an open-source alternative to Zoom and Microsoft Teams, it features theater-focused interfaces with stage, backstage, and curtains metaphors, making it ideal for digital theater acts, lectures, and talks. The platform operates in two modes - Stage mode for single performances and Theater mode for managing multiple shows - and is particularly suited for organizations in the cultural sector seeking professional streaming capabilities while maintaining full control over their content.
