## What is StreamShield?

Stream outdoors, live – bystanders stay unrecognizable.

StreamShield blurs faces, license plates, and screens in real time – right on your iPhone, before the stream goes out. You can stay sharp yourself. Your stream goes straight to Twitch, YouTube, or Kick.

WHAT GETS BLURRED
• Faces – in motion, during camera pans, and from farther away
• Whole people, if you want
• License plates
• Screens, phones, vehicles, and 30+ other object types – you decide
• Except you: your face and your co-streamers' faces stay sharp via the whitelist

BUILT FOR THE STREET
• Dead zone? The stream reconnects on its own, and the bitrate adapts to your network
• Checked the map for a second? Viewers see "Be right back" instead of a dropped stream
• Panic Blur (optional): if a frame can't be checked, everything is blurred
• Your platform's chat right in the app
• End the stream with a slide – no accidental stream-kills

QUICK TO SET UP
• Twitch, YouTube, Kick, or your own RTMP server – paste your stream key and go live
• 720p, 1080p, or 2K, portrait and landscape
• The preview shows exactly what your viewers see

PRIVACY
Detection runs entirely on the device. No account, no upload, no tracking. Your stream key is stored encrypted in the iOS Keychain.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-10-01

• New license plate detection: finds far more plates, also from farther away, and covers them more completely
• The blur follows people out of the frame instead of lingering at the edge
• Faces are blurred in a rounded shape

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-30

• Faces are now blurred from much farther away and from the side – passersby are covered before their face is close enough for face detection
• Smoother preview and stream when people are on the whitelist
• Person mode runs twice as fast and now also blurs the faces of passersby farther away
• 2K streams in portrait run more smoothly
• Honest quality presets: all at 30 fps, as the camera delivers – 1080p 60fps is gone, 2K streams as 1440p 30fps with less data. Saved settings carry over
• Updated note on 2K for Twitch (now requires Enhanced Broadcasting)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-29

No release notes.
