Want to do a sexy outdoors stream? It’s good for your followers to see you change scenery sometimes. And we know that the outside is always exciting (fear of being caught, voyeurism, etc). Problem? You can’t take the equipment from your showroom outside. The only solution: is your smartphone. Provided that the broadcast quality is good. And how to make a living? What if you want to do it from home? Without going out but just by changing rooms? Let me explain.
Make a Live Stream with Twitch
Existing since 2011, the application has undergone many evolutions since then. To the point of becoming the most popular video streaming platform in the world. So if you want to stream with your smartphone, this is one of the best solutions to adopt. Follow these steps and you will be unbeatable.
1 – Customize your live settings.
For optimal operation, you will have to fill in a few options when creating your account. The benefits are many and the platform will better understand your goals and thus offer you better SEO. So it is not unnecessarily wasted time. There are therefore 3 essential points to fill in:
a. The title: customizable text that appears in bold under your stream, and is visible to all viewers in search results.
b. The notification: a short customizable announcement sent to all your followers to indicate that your ‘live’ has just started. This alert can also be displayed as a push notification on mobile.
c. The category: the feature that allows you to better define what you want to offer as a type of content (specific video game, music, discussion, cooking… Well, obviously you don’t put these categories).
If you’ve made a mistake, don’t worry, you can change your settings at any time in your Stream Manager on Mac or PC, or from the Dashboard tab on mobile (iOS and Android).
2 – Launch your live from your computer
It is possible to start a stream without the need to install any software. To do this, you just have to go through Lightstream Studio (it’s free) which works with all web browsers. From there, you choose Twitch from the platform proposals and log into your account by allowing access. For the rest, just follow the tutorial to add your camera and microphone. And all you have to do is click on the Start Live button located at the top right to confirm and start the live stream on your Twitch channel. To stop it, you click on the same button.
You can also view your live chat or video feedback by opening a new tab with your stream manager on a second screen or on your mobile.
3 – Launch your live from your smartphone
Here is the part that interests us. As long as your mobile is compatible you can stream live content. Also, make sure you have a good internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular data) if you want your viewers to enjoy your live.
So, to stream from your smartphone … You must start by downloading the Twitch application and connecting to the platform. Easy so far. The rest is also since you just have to click on your photo at the top left to see the Launch button ‘live’. You click and let’s go. You want to stop streaming, you need to select the same button again. It couldn’t be simpler.
If you want to check your chat, you will need to have a second device and or change your settings during the live stream in the stream manager.
