**SoapBox Stream** is the streaming vertical of the SoapBox ecosystem, published at stream.soapbox.community. It is a catalog-and-player surface that sources **only** free, legally-clear video.

## What it streams

- **Public-domain and Creative-Commons** films and shows, drawn from the Internet Archive.
- **Free-to-air live TV** channels, from the open iptv-org channel lists.
- **Radio and podcasts** as additional rows.
- **On-MELEK video** — the ScotTube feed of video posted on the chain itself.

## How it stays license-clear

Every asset is passed through a license router so that only content cleared for streaming is listed, and the player only embeds officially whitelisted sources. The surface extends the earlier "Tune In" shell into a full catalog with rows, search and a watch page.
