You don't necessarily need a desktop to stream - give your iPad or tablet a try.
How to go live using Restream Studio
Log in from your tablet's browser to your Restream account.
From your home screen, click New Stream and select Studio.
💡 If you have already created your stream or if you'd like to re-use a previous stream, just click Enter Studio on the existing stream card.
Set up the scenes you plan to use during your stream.
When you're ready, click Go Live.
Enter a title and description for your stream and click Next.
Toggle on the channels you want to stream to and click Start Streaming.
How to go live using a mobile streaming app
If you're looking for a more advanced setup, there are mobile streaming apps for iPad and Android devices that can help. Restream supports any encoder that connects through RTMP, so just choose the one that works best for you.
Some options include Larix Broadcaster, Streamlabs Mobile, and more.
Install the one you prefer, set it up, and then connect it to Restream, as shown here.
Requirements
If you're streaming from an Android device, use Google Chrome. For iOS users, use Safari.
Screen sharing is not supported for Studio on a mobile browser but you can mirror the screen of your tablet in Studio on a desktop. You can learn more here.
For the best possible performance:
Use a tablet that has been upgraded within the last 5 years.
Ensure your device is fully charged and background apps are closed for the best possible performance.
A dedicated WiFi connection works best for mobile streaming.
For scheduled streams, your title/description and channels will be ready to go, and your stream will start as soon as you click Go Live.
