Our platform, Cya Live, is laser-focused on delivering seamless virtual interactions. We’ve been working hard to build the world’s lowest latency Content Delivery Network (CDN) since 2018. Our newly-developed CDN enables real-time communications for today’s event organizers and computer users.

Our goal at CYA Live is to create a community around shared online experiences for work, study, and play.

Cya Live lets you collaborate face-to-face via video chat or in writing via text chat with an unlimited number of users online without compromising quality.
