About üWave
üWave is a self-hosted collaborative listening platform where users take turns playing media for the room. People queue songs, talks, gameplay videos and more from sources such as YouTube and SoundCloud, building a shared listening session in the browser on desktop or mobile. Released under the MIT license, it suits communities that want their own social music room without relying on a hosted service.
