Good information for live streamers 👍🏻

You’re welcome. Happy streaming. 🌸

I feel like you could do the kurmet voice very well

Funny suggestion, but I don't think so 🙈.

Great video. Thanks!

Hi, any recent updates? Thx for this. Can you post a list of equipment and apps?

[@dailyfuelpt]

Hi, thanks for your informative video. I am looking to live stream from my iPhone directly to my website and not a social media service. Is this something stream labs can do?? Thanks

[@ShieKosu]

Thanks

[@ChrisSpiegl]

You're welcome 🌸.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Is there a solution to locking the autofocus when livestreaming on KZbin from your iphone? Do I need a camera app and is there a free one?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Hello Heather, I don’t know any apps that can stream direct to KZbin and do manual focus. Other solutions would be to stream your iPhone camera to a computer and then go live from there. Apps that can do manual focus and stream the camera signal to your computer would be obs.camera or alternatively FilmicPro and getting a HDMI cable and a capture card (total cost of the last one - which I think is the most quality - would be around 50-80$).

[@ericbphoto1]

Thanks for the video! Do you have a link to buy that lightning cable that splits into microphonesand lightning-in jack for power?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

I don't have any specific ones since these tend to change all the time.

[@CJM123456789]

Thank you for the video! Can you zoom in on your iphone when streaming eg to Twitch (via streamlab)?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

I am not 100% sure. I think you can pinch to zoom, maybe change lenses, but you’d have to test that to confirm.

[@DougPipersr]

Is it possible to live stream with a hot spot and do walkarounds in a brewery (for example). I've been trying using a Google PIxel 2XL, Nighthawk hotspot with AT&T. However the phone gets pretty hot and the frame rate is too low and there's lots of pixelization. Any thoughts?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

I have not tested these things myself as I usually do my live streams from home with at least a WiFi connection. I would probably just try to use the phone and it's 4G connection as is.

[@TheBroadcastStudio365]

I can’t use external microphone (apogee one) for me it’s useless.

[@CedricWandrey]

great video but there is still one question. You talked about the wireless rode microphones.. do I have to select something to make them work or do I have to connect just the main component to my phone and the mic to the main component ? I tryed to record something with the normal camera and everything was fine instant but as I tryed to make a voice message via whatsapp the mic wasnt accepted. Best regards

[@ChrisSpiegl]

This highly depends on which mic you use and how you connect things. The best thing to make sure your specific setup works is to actually test it and make a private stream so you can test which mic is active. Generally, the same way the Camera app recognizes your wireless mic it should be recognized in the streaming app. But can only be sure when you test - especially since things have further developed since making this video.

[@heisenbergmadethebeat]

Chris is there anyway to set autofocus or white balance on KZbin livestreaming straight from the Iphone? I find the quality would be improved 100 fold if i could just set the white balance!

[@ChrisSpiegl]

I have not seen an app that can directly stream to KZbin or any other streaming app where you can also set the white balance in that app. However, if you can use a Mac / PC for streaming you could use OBS.camera on your iPhone and connect via NDI to OBS on the computer and the app OBS.camera actually allows for manual focus and exposure settings (however, as far as I can see the app does not offer white balance settings). Maybe you could write the developers about that and they could add it as a feature. Good luck and happy streaming 🌸.

[@heisenbergmadethebeat]

@@ChrisSpiegl Thats really useful, Thankyou!

[@Dwockeez]

I am using a pixel 2 xl with the rode videomicro and an external battery. When i start to livestream, will the audio be picked up by the microphone already or is there a setting that I have to enable for my microphone to work?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

I don't know about Android, but with iPhones they unusually use the "external mic" as the default when it is connected.

[@enladhern2711]

Is there any way to add the "Starting soon", "Be right back" and "Ending" screens that we normally have in "normal" streamings with this?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

I think the only way with Streamlabs iOS may be to overlay it all with an image file and then mute the mic. But I’m not sure if that’s possible. 😅

[@joanehartman]

A viewer told me my Facebook live today was blurry. I use an iPhone 12 to do my lives. Do you know what could have caused a blurry live video?

[@asjesus1]

have you had any issues livestreaming to facebook with your external mic lately? thanks in advance for your response

[@ChrisSpiegl]

No, I have not had any issues of the sort. Cheers 🌸

[@asjesus1]

@@ChrisSpiegl one more question and i appreciate your time. if possible, how can i go live from my personal and not my business page? thanks

[@ChrisSpiegl]

@@asjesus1 I’m not sure that’s possible. I only have ever used these features with Facebook pages and not profiles. Maybe Google will give you an answer on that. 🌸

[@FUN-_-boy]

Nice video, but when I was live streaming, I noticed that the screen does not become full screen on KZbin and it looks smaller. Is there any solution to this?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

How do you mean that it does not go full screen? When I was using this app, it streams the camera feed to youtube in regular full screen?

[@FUN-_-boy]

@@ChrisSpiegl Sorry for the late reply, but this occurs when I am using the screen capture option on StreamlabsOBS mobile. The camera works fine.

[@ChrisSpiegl]

@@FUN-_-boy I have never used the StreamLabsOBS mobile function to share the screen. I use the NDI|HX Capture app for that which works fine with OBS.

[@richiet6381]

Sir can you please help me? I’ve been looking every where for info on live-streaming. What if I want to do a live stream of me flying my drone? Could you tell me or point me in the right direction for information?? Thank you so much in advance!

[@ChrisSpiegl]

How can I help you with that? What are you trying to do? What kind of drone is it? Do you want to live stream your screen? Or your camera?

[@richiet6381]

@@ChrisSpiegl thank you Chris. It’s my manic air 2. It does not have the livestream option on the DJI app yet but until that I know ppl have done this. I’ve seen vids of ppl doing it on ig/fb I don’t have or want that. If you know of some uncomplicated way to stream from an app to some of my friends that would be most ideal. Sorry for the long reply. Thank you for the attention.

[@ChrisSpiegl]

@@richiet6381 Sorry, I think I will not be able to help you with that. I have used the live streaming on the DJI Mavic Pro back when it first was released but nothing since. And especially with just streaming to friends… maybe a private live stream on Facebook on your Profile? But you mentioned that this feature is not yet available in the app. So I don't know. Hope you will find a way somehow.

What is that cord called? (white one on the phone?)

It's a Lightning to TRRS adapter cable (available on Amazon from Apple as well as other sellers).

[@hadrienprevost]

Question for anyone who knows: can I put music as audio when streaming with my iPhone? Instead of putting my speaker close near the microphone, thanks

[@ryancostello3865]

I came here to find this out too. I’m thinking that using a usb interface like scarlet solo with usb 3 camera might work. Gonna be testing this out soon since I want to stream clone hero with live drum sounds

[@FeonaLeeJones]

I have a live performance that I want to stream and I’m wondering if I can get that link ahead of time to the people that have purchased tickets? So the stream is private but only for those people that paid and I want them to view it at the time I go live tonight. Is this possible?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

In principle you could do this with so-called "Unlisted" streams. Not private because with private streams you have to invite each person individually. Unlisted streams are only accessible via the link you generate and not shared publicly on KZbin for example. You can create such an event in the KZbin Studio studio.youtube.com and then to the upper right hand side you have a button to create a live stream. There you can create the live stream and set it to be "unlisted" and then you can hit the share button or something like that and get a link that you can then send to your clients. Hope that helps and good luck.

[@FeonaLeeJones]

@@ChrisSpiegl Awesome thank you! will try this tonight :)

[@FeonaLeeJones]

@@ChrisSpiegl So I ended up doing the live stream but it ended up freezing on me so I couldn’t stop the stream and I think it didn’t save… 😭

[@ChrisSpiegl]

@@FeonaLeeJones that sounds terrible. What platform are you using and what app/camera to stream there?

[@FeonaLeeJones]

@@ChrisSpiegl I used stream labs on my iPhone 11 and it was connected to my KZbin channel.

Is 10mbps Speed is enough for streaming in 1080p60fps? Actually I'm going to stream Pubg mobile. Answer regards.

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Hi Usnia, I quickly looked that info up and in the following article may be your answer: > For 1080p video at 60 frames per second, the bitrate range is 4,500 to 9,000 kbps. In upload speeds, that means between 5.6 Mbps and 11 Mbps. > ~ restream.io/blog/what-is-a-good-upload-speed-for-streaming/ Additionally, you will want to measure your speed with a site like speedtest.net so you know your upload and download speed accurately. Good luck and happy streaming 🌸.

[@suleimankhader]

What if i want to stream using 1) iphone camera 2) share my mackbook screen 3 use dynamic mic such as shure mv7 How i can do that?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Pretty much: you will not… It's just too much to work out this type of setup. Why not stream from your MacBook directly? Then you have the mic and MacBook screen right there.

[@suleimankhader]

@@ChrisSpiegl i have old macbook, not that gr8 camera or mic

[@suleimankhader]

So i need the camera quality iphone got, the mic quality shure have, the screen i need to share from my laptop

[@suleimankhader]

So i already have the iphone and mic, i will only need to buy a mic

[@ChrisSpiegl]

@@suleimankhader You mentioned you have the MV7 - good enough mic and that works with your MacBook. So I think it would be easiest to stream with that. Use the Hardware VT encoder and you should be able to stream 720p at 30fps.

Can I stream myself on youtube playing chess from my phone?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

I am not sure as I have not tried to stream my screen directly to KZbin from the phone.
