Updated September 20, 2026. This page describes the public gecko camera website and the owner's local Stream Control app.
Visitors
You do not need an account to watch. The site does not ask for your name or email address. It adds no analytics code. Cloudflare hosts the site and processes normal connection data, such as your IP address, to deliver and protect the service.
The YouTube player loads when you select the live video. YouTube then processes playback data under Google's Privacy Policy. YouTube may show ads. Cloudflare's Privacy Policy describes its data handling.
Owner's Google access
The Stream Control app uses the owner's Google authorization to check the Mimble channel, create daily broadcasts, connect the video input, read stream status, and stop broadcasts. It can remove an unused broadcast that never started. Completed recordings remain public on YouTube.
Google authorization tokens and the stream key are stored in protected files on the owner's MacBook. They are not placed in the website or shared with visitors. The app uses these credentials only to control the Mimble stream.
Stream status and storage
The local app sends the current video ID, date, time, and live status to this website. Cloudflare stores this status for up to one day. The website stops treating a status as current after five minutes. It does not receive the owner's Google token or stream key.
The enclosure video goes from OBS to YouTube. The website shows that video through the YouTube player. The offline enclosure photo is a public website file. YouTube recordings remain until the channel owner removes them. Local credentials and control records remain until the owner removes them.
Control and contact
The owner can pause the stream, remove local credentials, or revoke the app's Google access. For questions about the camera or a public recording, use the Mimble Wimble GeckoCam channel.
