Live Streaming From An External Camera

Streamers can now use external cameras while live streaming video of their teams from iOS and Android devices. 

The following external cameras listed below are supported at this time as well as other cameras that use RTMPS live streaming:

• Mevo Start
• Mevo Plus
• GoPro Hero 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 Black
• GoPro Max
• OBSBOT TailAir

Stream Keys and URLs are specific to each event you stream for, therefore the instructions below will need to be repeated for every event streamed from an external device.

When streaming using an external camera using an RTMPS URL and Key, generated by GameChanger, users are dependent on the software of the camera manufacturer. In that streaming setup, settings such as focus, resolution, and zoom are those of the device manufacturer. Unfortunately, controlling those settings is out of our application's control. Please reach out to your respective manufacturer to resolve any issues with those features.
