Go live from your phone in three taps. No desktop, no capture card, no encoder box StreamNow sends your camera or your whole screen straight to YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, TikTok or any RTMP server you own. Overlays, logos and sports scoreboards are composited into the outgoing video by the native engine, so your viewers see a finished broadcast instead of a raw phone camera. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add a destination pick a platform preset, or paste your own RTMP / RTMPS URL and stream key. 2. Choose your source front camera, back camera, or your entire screen. 3. Tap Go Live. Bitrate, frame rate and connection health update every second while you stream. CAMERA STREAMING • Front and back camera with instant flip, pinch zoom and torch control • 720p or 1080p at 10, 30, 50 or 60 fps you choose resolution and frame rate separately • Adaptive bitrate quietly steps quality down and back up when the network dips, instead of dropping you • Automatic reconnect if the connection breaks mid-broadcast • Privacy shield blanks the video without ending the stream • Mute the mic or pause the whole broadcast with one tap the connection stays alive • Noise suppression and front-camera mirroring toggles SCREEN BROADCASTING • Stream everything on your screen: gameplay, tutorials, app demos, classes, presentations • Portrait and landscape, both fully supported • App audio and mic go out together, so viewers hear the game and you • Starts from the system broadcast picker and keeps running while you play • Your overlay layout travels with the broadcast arrange it before you go live OVERLAYS AND SPORTS SCOREBOARDS • Text, image and logo layers, dragged and sized exactly where you want them • Live scoreboards for football, basketball, tennis and billiards • Two skins per scoreboard clean glass, or a full TV-style broadcast bar • Control the score, the clock and the period from the same screen you are streaming from • Save any arrangement as a preset and load it for the next match • Separate preset sets for vertical 9:16 and horizontal 16:9, so nothing lands off-canvas RECORD WHILE YOU STREAM Keep a local copy of the broadcast on your device while it goes out live useful for highlights, reuploads and reviewing the game afterwards.
