About

FlyLive

Features
Read full description

FlyLive creates Live YouTube broadcasts that accept video streams from RTMP streaming devices, such as drones. Β Before taking off use FlyLive to open a live YouTube broadcast for the drone's stream, and share a link to watch the drone's live video. FlyLive requires that live RTMP streaming already be set up in YouTube Studio before you can use the app, and that your drone can stream live video to YouTube. Once YouTube is set up, FlyLive can open a new live broadcast with a single tap. A live broadcast link can be shared with iMessage or WhatsApp, and options are available to enter a broadcast title, latency, privacy and auto-stop settings. YouTube access is via Google Sign-in Authentication that asks for access to your YouTube account. No personal data is retained by FlyLive or transmitted out.
