Any of the supported audio sources listed above can be combined with your live camera.   When using RTMP you can decide if you want to use one of your device cameras as video source or simply an image.

Besides that, iziCast comes with a lot more features. Have a look at the list below to find out what else iziCast can do.

Manufacturers will usually indicate whether a device is class-compliant or not.  If you cannot find information about class compliance, a good rule of thumb is that an audio device is class-compliant if it does not need a driver to work on macOS. So, if your device works on macOS without a driver, it will also work on your iPhone or iPad with iziCast.
