Streaming from a Mobile Device

Whether you’re on the field, in the classroom, or covering a live event on the go, you can stream directly from your mobile device using the free MyVRSpot Broadcaster app — available for both iOS and Android.

Mobile Streaming Tips

A few helpful reminders when streaming from mobile: 

• Check your connection – Aim for strong Wi-Fi or LTE/5G to avoid buffering or dropped streams. 
• Keep your phone charged – Streaming drains battery quickly. 
• Landscape mode recommended – Turn your phone sideways for a wider, cleaner viewer experience. 
• Overlay images must be publicly shared – If you’re using the overlay feature (iOS), make sure your image’s Share URL is accessible. 
• Use the front or rear camera – You can switch views on the fly by tapping the camera icon during your stream.
