JamKazam
Low-latency online platform for musicians to jam, rehearse, and perform together in real time
About JamKazam
JamKazam is an online music collaboration platform that lets musicians play together in real time over the internet with extremely low latency. Using patented audio technology, it synchronizes players so bands can rehearse remotely, jam with strangers around the world, or record and live-stream sessions to YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch. A catalog of nearly 10,000 backing tracks lets solo players practice along with studio-quality accompaniment, while a musician-focused social network helps users find collaborators by instrument, skill level, and genre.
