StreamLive ProMultistream from an iPhone to several networks at once
Go live from an iPhone to YouTube, a Facebook Page, Twitch, Kick and more at once with StreamLive Pro: Safari today, the iPhone app once it is in the App Store.
To multistream from an iPhone with StreamLive Pro, open streamlivepro.io in Safari, tick the networks you connected and go live: the iPhone sends one stream and our servers send it to every network at once. The StreamLive Pro app for iPhone is not in the App Store yet (version 1.2.0 is in review), so on an iPhone you use Safari today. Nothing has to be installed.
Why one upload is enough
When you go live to two or three networks straight from a phone, each network needs its own upload, and a phone on mobile data rarely has the upload for that. With StreamLive Pro the iPhone uploads once. Our servers make the copies and send one to each network you tick. So the phone's load stays the same whether you pick one network or several. More on upload speed: Upload speed and bitrate for multistreaming.
Before you start
- A StreamLive Pro account. Create it on the website. The 7-day trial can go live from the phone.
- Networks connected. On the website open Connections and sign in to each network once: YouTube, a Facebook Page you manage (not a group or a personal profile), Twitch, Kick and others. See Connecting your channels — YouTube, Facebook and the rest.
- The network's own rules. YouTube asks you to verify the channel and have no live streaming restrictions in the past 90 days (YouTube Help: Get started with live streaming, checked 5 November 2026). The first time live is enabled on a channel can take up to 24 hours.
- How many networks at once depends on your plan.
- Safari, not the Facebook or Instagram browser. A link opened inside Facebook, Instagram or TikTok runs in their built-in browser, where the camera often does not work.
- Power and Wi-Fi for anything longer than a few minutes.
Steps
- Open the site in Safari. Go to streamlivepro.io and sign in.
- Open the live page. Go to Live stream.
- Choose the networks. Tick the networks for this broadcast. With none ticked, the broadcast is only on your own StreamLive Pro watch page, which is a good private test.
- Allow camera and microphone. Safari asks the first time. Tap Allow.
- Go live. Tap Go live. The camera turns on and a short check makes sure viewers will see and hear you: The 10-second camera check before you go live.
- Stay in front. Keep Safari open and the screen on until you end. Turn on Do Not Disturb (Control Center, then Focus) so a call does not take over the screen.
- End. End the broadcast from the same page. It stops on every network.

What changes when the iPhone app is public
The StreamLive Pro app for iPhone and iPad is version 1.2.0, in App Store review now. When it is public it adds, on top of what Safari does:
- A check before the live: connection, networks, microphone, battery, temperature and Do Not Disturb.
- A 3-minute grace when you leave the app: the camera pauses and the broadcast waits for you.
- Continue broadcasting after the app closed in the middle of a live.
- Landscape broadcasts, with the orientation kept from the moment you go live.
- Shorts from a video in your camera roll, and posting to every network from the phone.

A real camera with an iPhone
An iPhone cannot take a capture card in any app, ours included: Apple does not let apps use capture cards on iPhone. From version 1.2.0 the StreamLive Pro app supports capture cards on iPads with USB-C and iPadOS 17 or later. On a computer, use the browser studio: Connect an HDMI capture card to the browser studio.
The iPhone as an extra camera
To use the iPhone as a second camera next to a computer, open the browser studio on the computer, add a phone camera and open its link or QR code in Safari on the iPhone. Today that is done in the browser; the iPhone app (version 1.2.0, in review) can also join the studio as a camera once it is in the App Store: Use an iPhone as a camera for live streaming, no app needed.
