Stream city council meetings without a Granicus contract.
Your city council, school board, planning commission, and public-hearing meetings on YouTube + the city website, with the agenda overlay everyone in the chambers already sees. Per-meeting pricing fits your municipal budget. No Granicus annual contract, no Swagit appliance.
Built for the government + civic workflow
No appliance, no AV vendor
A browser studio your city clerk or IT director runs from a chambers laptop. No Swagit-style encoder box to buy and maintain, no AV partner on retainer for every meeting.
Agenda overlay in the canvas
Show the current agenda item as a lower third in the broadcast, updated by the clerk as the meeting advances. It is the same item number the room already sees, with no separate agenda computer feeding an encoder.
Stream to YouTube + city site
YouTube for the public-facing audience and a city website embed for residents who go straight to the city URL, both from one encode at the same time.
Per-meeting pricing
A weekly council meeting and a quarterly planning commission pay for what they actually used. No annual platform contract, no per-camera per-month meter.
Why city clerks pick TRaX
Granicus is the default municipal contract but it is sized for the largest cities and priced accordingly. Swagit and CivicPlus go the appliance-and-service route. TRaX is the in-between: a browser studio the city clerk or IT director can run from a laptop, with the agenda overlay + multi-destination distribution every public meeting actually needs.
- Browser-based: your IT director runs it, no AV vendor on retainer
- Multi-destination output covers YouTube + the city site in one encode
- The public stream archives to YouTube automatically, preserving the meeting record
