Mobile Streaming Tips

• Check your connection. Use strong Wi-Fi or LTE/5G to avoid buffering or dropped streams.
• Keep your device charged. Streaming drains the battery quickly.
• Stream in landscape mode. Turn your device sideways for a wider view.
• Switch cameras anytime. Tap the camera icon during your stream to switch between the front and rear cameras.
