Streaming from a mobile phone gives fast and easy access to your audience. Restream is a browser-based service that will help you go live in just a few taps, even on your mobile phone πŸŽ‰

βš™οΈ Requirements

  • You've upgraded your smartphone in the last 5 years.

  • If you're streaming from an Android device, use Google Chrome. For iOS users, we recommend Safari.

  • A dedicated WiFi connection works best for mobile streaming.

  • Ensure your device is fully charged and background apps are closed for the best possible performance.

🧐 How to go live using Restream Studio

  1. Log in from your mobile device's browser to your Restream account.

❗ At the moment, our screen sharing feature is not supported if you are streaming from a mobile browser.
