1. Screen recording The recording shows a fresh install: camera and microphone permission prompts, adding a Twitch streaming profile with the test credentials below, selecting it as the active profile, starting a live broadcast, and ending the stream. This release has no account registration, login, or account deletion, no purchases or subscriptions, and no user-generated content that needs reporting or blocking. 2. Test devices iPhone 11, iPhone 13, iPhone 14 and iPhone 16, all on iOS 26.6. 3. App functions and target audience PlumStudio is a live streaming app for streamers and influencers. It broadcasts the iPhone's camera and microphone to one or more destinations: Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, or a custom RTMP server. Audience: independent creators and live streamers who use desktop encoding software today and want to go live from a single mobile device. Problem solved: RTMP streaming usually needs manual setup on a desktop, and often more than one device to reach several platforms. PlumStudio does it all in one app, with better video quality. Beauty filters and a combined chat feed from multiple networks are planned. Value: quick profile setup, one-tap start and stop, and an in-app browser tab for viewing the destination platform while streaming. No desktop or extra hardware needed. 4. Setup and access No account, registration, or login is required. 1. Launch the app and allow camera and microphone access. 2. Tap "Add your streaming profile" and select Twitch. 3. Enter and save: Name: Test Stream URL: rtmp://live.twitch.tv/app/ Stream Key: live_1528631164_cZeIJUMM1lErt7KuXeBnxIWB4xFYUW Platform URL: https://dashboard.twitch.tv/ 4. On the Live tab, select the profile, tap Go Live to start, and tap End to stop. 5. The Browse tab opens the profile's Twitch page in an in-app browser. 5. External services - Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, Custom RTMP: no OAuth or sign-in. The user enters the Server URL and Stream Key from their own account settings. - HaishinKit: open-source RTMP library that encodes the stream and sends it to the server. - Firebase Crashlytics: crash logs and diagnostics for stability. - Firebase Analytics: in-app usage analytics for product improvement. Not used for advertising or cross-app tracking. - 100ms (HMSSDK), Agora (AgoraRtcEngine), Daily (daily-client-ios), LiveKit (client-sdk-swift): real-time video SDKs. 6. Regional differences The app works the same in every region. There are no region-specific features, content, or restrictions. 7. Regulated industry PlumStudio is not in a regulated industry and needs no special licensing. It contains no copyrighted third-party material. The only content it sends is the user's own camera and microphone feed. Twitch, YouTube and Meta are used only under their public standard terms, so users can stream to their own accounts.
