Hamsta™
Hamsta

Hang out with your friends.
On your own server.

Hamsta is voice, video, screen sharing and chat for you and your friends. Your group's host runs the server, so your chats live there, not in some company's cloud. No ads, no tracking.

Download for Windows
Windows 10 and 11. One portable app, and it updates itself.

Crystal-clear voice

Voice channels and calls with AI noise suppression, push-to-talk that works in any game, and per-person volume.

Screen share that keeps up

Share a game or your whole screen with sound, smooth at 60 fps. Hamsta+ goes up to 1440p and source quality.

Webcams

Turn your camera on in any call. Sharing your screen too? Your camera sits in the corner.

DMs and group chats

Message friends, make group chats with their own name and photo, and call them with one button.

Files, links and videos

Send big files, and links show previews. YouTube videos play right in the chat.

Hop on someone's wheel

Ask to take control of a friend's mouse and keyboard while they share, only if they say yes.

HamstaTV™

Clip saving and trimming for your games, made to go with Hamsta.

HamstaTV
Press your save key and HamstaTV keeps just the moment you want. Turn it on in Hamsta under Settings, Hamsta Clipper, and Hamsta installs it and keeps it updated for you.

How to join

  1. Download Hamsta and open it.
  2. Paste the one-time join link your server's host sent you, and pick a username.
  3. Save your login code somewhere safe: it's how you sign in again.

Every update is signed by the developer, and Hamsta checks the signature before installing anything.
