One phone is the whole studio

Most live streaming apps only send what the camera sees. Stream-It is a mobile live streaming app that also does the production: your phone shows the picture, puts your title and logo on top, switches between Screens and mixes the sound, all while it streams.

When you want more than one angle, other phones join as cameras. On the same Wi-Fi they need no internet of their own; from another place they join over the internet with a camera code or link.

What you need

  • An Android phone with Stream-It from Google Play and a Stream-It account (log in with your phone number).
  • A YouTube or Facebook account, or the RTMP or RTMPS server address and stream key of another platform.
  • Internet on the phone that sends the stream: Wi-Fi or mobile data. A steady upload matters more than download speed.
  • Optional: a tripod or stand, a power bank and a microphone.

Tips for a better stream from your phone

  • Hold the phone sideways (horizontal) for YouTube and Facebook; use vertical for Shorts and Reels style streams.
  • Put the phone on a tripod or stand. A steady picture looks far more professional than a hand-held one.
  • Plug in a power bank for anything longer than a short stream; streaming uses a lot of battery.
  • Show a Starting soon screen while viewers arrive and Be right back when you need a pause, instead of stopping the stream.
  • If the network is weak, choose 720p and keep Auto quality on.
