Lowkey is a floating, always-on-top browser that never shows up in your stream, your recordings, or your screen-shares. Keep chat, notes, music, and dashboards open on stream — visible only to you.

Type a URL or search above — only you can see this.
OBS, Discord, Zoom, Teams — anything that captures your screen through Windows simply doesn’t see Lowkey. The window floats above your game or apps, and a hotkey hides it instantly. Underneath, it’s a normal browser: tabs, address bar, any site.
Excluded from screen capture at the Windows level. Your stream, recordings, and shared screens show whatever is behind Lowkey — never Lowkey itself.
Lowkey stays out of the Windows taskbar and the Alt-Tab switcher, so it never flashes into view when you or your audience cycle through open windows.
Floats over your game, your editor, your call. No alt-tabbing away from a live scene to check chat or your notes.
Tabs, an address bar, and the sites you already use — chat popouts, alert dashboards, docs, music. Not a widget, a browser.
Show or hide with Ctrl + Alt + B from anywhere, even mid-game. Every keybind is configurable in settings.
Esc or ✕ hides the window instantly instead of closing it. An optional tray icon keeps it one click away.
Lowkey hides the browser window from every capture API. Capture software doesn’t need plugins or configuration to ignore it; it simply never receives those pixels.
Install Lowkey, create a free account, and a short onboarding walks you through the hotkeys.
Chat popout, alerts, run-of-show notes, music — set up the tabs you want with you on stream.
Your capture software sees straight through the window. Toggle it with a hotkey whenever you need it.
A short walkthrough of the floating window, tabs, and settings. We had to record this one with capture exclusion turned off on purpose — normally a screen recording of Lowkey shows nothing at all.
The second monitor you don’t have to buy — or look away at.
Anything that captures the screen through Windows capture APIs: OBS and Streamlabs (display and window capture), Discord screen-share, Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Xbox Game Bar recordings, and standard screenshot tools.
Anything watching the physical signal: an external capture card reading your monitor’s HDMI output (common in dual-PC streaming setups), or a camera pointed at your screen. Capture exclusion happens inside Windows, so it can’t help once the pixels leave the machine.
Yes. Lowkey stays on top of borderless and windowed games, and the global hotkeys work even when the game has focus. Exclusive-fullscreen games draw over everything by design — use borderless, as most streamers already do.
It’s built on the same engine as Microsoft Edge, so sites work the way you expect: tabs, logins, chat popouts, dashboards, video.
