Castream was built mobile-first — so you can go live with just your phone, no fancy gear required.
Here’s everything you need to know about streaming from the Castream app on iOS and Android:
🧰 What You’ll Need
- A Castream account
- The latest version of the app (iOS or Android)
- Camera + microphone access granted
- At least one destination connected (YouTube, Twitch, etc.)
- A solid internet connection (WiFi or strong LTE/5G)
🎥 How It Works
- Open the app and tap Go Live
- Select your destinations
- Adjust settings like:
- Resolution (720p / 1080p)
- Bitrate (Standard / High)

- Tap Go Live — you’re on-air in seconds
You can stream to multiple platforms at once depending on your plan.

📦 No Extra Gear Needed
All you need is your phone — no laptop, OBS, capture card, or studio.
But if you want to level up, you can always use:
- Tripods
- Lavalier mics
- External battery packs
🧠 Pro Tips
- Test first using unlisted YouTube or private Facebook streams
- Use landscape for YouTube, portrait for TikTok or Instagram
- Keep bitrate lower if you’re on mobile data
- Don’t forget: you can always tweak settings from Settings → Preferences
