Broadcaster Software

 

a.) Open Broadcaster Software (x264 encoder)

Link to download site  >> OBS Download

 

OBS setting information 

 

We would recommend using a Tablet PC (with Windows O/S) to install the OBS software and having a smartphone transmiting 3G/4G/ 5G video for portable live streaming applications

 

NOTE:

· We don’t recommend you use an Android phone for live streaming any more.   The main reason is using an smartphone for live streaming would causing lots of heating on the phone, and no matter how low the current consumed during the live streaming. 

· We believe a smartphone’s processor IC is mainly designed for mobile applications, and using it for video processing causing a lots of computation loading in GPU (Graphic process unit) even if a smartphone with the advanced snapdragon processor...a huge amount of heat still happened. 

· You main just consider as you live streaming using a tiny size smartphone and having its GPU, CPU, WiFi , and 3G / 4G / 5G mobile transmitter all turning on at the same time...what would happening to your phone and battery?

 

 

 

 

 

b.)  Camerafi Live ( not a recommend method due to software causing lots of heating in a phone.  Not good for live streaming more than few minutes.

This live streaming method may causing fast degradation or damage smartphone battery

 

Download apk from Play Store directly >> CameraFi Live

 

Software only available in Android version

If you only have an iOS iPhone, iPad, you may consider to buy a low-cost Android phone to run the Camera Fi Live program, and WiFi link to an iOS device to upload you livestream video.
