IRL streaming has been super overwhelming to learn about.. Been streaming on twitch for 3 years now and ready to change things up, but every time I say I'm going to IRL stream, I give up because it feels like SO MUCH. Grateful to have someone break everything down for me.. Been trying to rent from UnlimitedIRL for a few weeks as I have an upcoming trip abroad but it turns out they took a bit of a hit from COVID. Getting someone on the phone to answer questions like these has been difficult to say the least. I have a friend who has a backpack near me, but I still need to put together data/modem and setup my own camera. Hoping I can get the NETGEAR Nighthawk and talk to T-mobile about covering me in more rural parts of Jamaica. Thank you again for your helpful info.
I love the idea for the marathon. I think the biggest hurdle you'd have, is that you have to condition yourself to running with the backpack, so it doesn't throw you off. But also, the question is, would they allow you to run with the backpack? I'm rooting for ya though Pete!
Great video, thank you. You failed to mention though that the connection bonding feature of the LiveU Solo is a paid subscription-based service. The hardware itself is not self-sufficient.
Hi m8! What do you reccomend for data plans for UK residents? 300 bucks from unlimited irl a month seems a bit over the top. Could you reccomend anything for someone streaming IRL solely around UK?
If you are going to use it loads then get a contract. If you buy from Garland the liveu they have a data plan on a steered sim so picks the strongest network and they charge £6 per 1gb data but you can add multiple sims so that’s across all sims. Can be pricey if doing it lots though but benefit is no contract
I have an Question, when I buy an Live u Solo do I need to buy the Software also ? Because I saw in the Internet that the Company sells an subscrition Software.
Live U solo doesn't support HEVC encoding, you actually could run GoPro Hero 7 which supports HEVC and has decent quality + image stabilization and use your Phone as LTE antenna to transmit your stream to your server. Much better option in my opinion.
@@Slippery_Si Yes, it should be. It goes like this: GoPro + Phone LTE > rtmp nginx server > OBS / SLobs > twitch/youtube/etc... (rtmp nginx server can be run localy on the same PC)
Watching this in 2023, and it's impressive that LiveU is still a thing, and I didn't know that's how some people were doing their run and gun IRL streams. The one I remember as probably the best, was the SlingStudio. I used it once, and it was really cool that you could use multiple HDMI sources, you could buy wireless HDMI adapters so your extra cameras didn't have to be wired to the unit, and could also use another iPhone as a camera source. It only lacked the connection redundancy of LiveU, but it still had a lot going for it. Sadly, I don't think you can find it for sale anymore, not new at least. I do know a camera rental service that does have it, that's how I got to use one.
I’m considering this IRL setup for my students to cover events at school. But, it’s expensive! We’re gonna need to get some sponsorships with local businesses. :)
If I wanted to record but not livestream with my cell phone, is there such thing as an external device that will save the recording as i'm walking about (for example) instead of my cell phone?
Looking at Jake's setup and I'm looking for the exact same selfie stick with the phone attachment and then I can attach my go pro on it but I can't seem to find it at all. Can someone help me
hello very nice video but how i public a videos after i just streamed it i mean that video to can be see under the home tab i ask you this bcs i can see the video i streamed only when i click to content i go to live and then i see my video also my video is set to public visability ... thanks in advance
do you stream gameplay on obs studio or streamlabs obs? and can you help me get better quality pn stream, i have a good pc intel i5 8th gen 1070 oc edition i have good fps but bad quality on 720p
I’ve worked in ENG (electronic news gathering) in extreme weather situations and I can honestly say that LiveU is shaky as as far as reliability. Ymmv as far as irl in populated areas with strong cell signal but even in unaffected areas before and after the storms it was hit or miss as far as connectivity.
Thank you for the information o that video. Very useful although I think everything has change during this time. What about the marathon project. Have you any video to se the result? Thank you again :/)
the live u solo need 12v - 3A and not 2.1 or 2.5A so care when u will buy a new external battery. i use the AC power with my omars battery but not a good idea.
When you livestream with the Sony, do you set the mode to "live" or "movie". I just got one and live mode eliminates all control of image quality. I plan to use it via an atem switcher. So do I just set the HDMI out put and put it in live mode and press record. Or does movie mode work? Thanks.
Hi Gaming Careers, Quick question can you stream to multi-social media sites at once example FB, Twitter, TH-cam without using things like restream but just using the USOLO? Truly appreciate your input thanks Gary
i want to use samsung s7 and i need be able to streaming irl 14 days in japan non stop in any advice for power banks that will last more than 30 hours? i plan to buy 4 powerbanks btw i dont care for audiences i just want to stream 14 days non stop
Does the StreamElements mobile app do facecam with screen capture like TH-cam gaming live mobile app? I swear by Streamlabs mobile app for streaming IRL to Twitch but it seems like they only offer selfie mode OR screencap. Thx in advance for any insight.
Not every camera works with LiveU. Several cameras' viewfinders turn off when connecting with the LiveU. Also, LiveU Solo option doesn't offer phone support and they blame everything on "firmware updates".
Interesting similarity in concept too "Gun and Run" when shooting film footage in public areas with out a permit "shooting" and "running" off before the officials kick your ass.
I know this video is a couple years old, thinking of making of of these irl backpacks. You explained everything just fine, but that sony bullet cam is no longer available on amazon, and only seen used ones on ebay. Is there an upgraded version of the camera now? Or just another camera that has come out that may be better?
This video helped thanks., I have only one question regarding the live u solo, you said it can take up to four methods of uploading data, would it not be more cost-effective ( and lighter) to use a dedicated mobile phone with dual sim and wi-fi (if available)
There are none... I'm from Phoenix. No halfway intelligent person is going to be doing anything outside in 110 degree heat though, so what's the point...
Pretty good explaination thanks for it. I got a question. Is there a solution when u want to start stream to use a cam on your should which is connected to you mobile phone? The mic from the mobile phone should be enoug for first right? Because what i want to do in RL it's not possible to do with just 1 hand and also my wrists are hurting alot after a while. So i have to find a cheap starter way to get a view for my viewers and a possibility to read the messages on stream. Thanks in advance Stefan

I’m looking to get into streaming this year. Thank you for the detailed explanation.
So did you?
Thank you for the detailed explanation!
Great video. You answered every question I had :)

Giffgaff unlimited data, £35 a month

This video answered all my questions about irl streaming...thank you so much for making and uploading it!!!!
Can you make a video on who to stream with a dual pc setup
Stream whoever you want
Live U solo doesn't support HEVC encoding, you actually could run GoPro Hero 7 which supports HEVC and has decent quality + image stabilization and use your Phone as LTE antenna to transmit your stream to your server. Much better option in my opinion.
Timmy111888 interesting idea, would this setup be comparable with Streamlabs?
@@Slippery_Si Yes, it should be. It goes like this: GoPro + Phone LTE > rtmp nginx server > OBS / SLobs > twitch/youtube/etc... (rtmp nginx server can be run localy on the same PC)
Your videos always help out
Was gonna try one, but every irl streamer i see has their liveu or modem breaking or resetting weekly or even more frequent.
Really? Is it from wear and tear from field use? What do you mean the liveu's are breaking?
Mauronic100 they overheat or dc from their connected settings from what i heard
I have a very rugged streamer if you ever want to discuss. Solid case and no overheating problems.
How much is the service though
This video is so in depth i had to keep skipping forward. Props to you
One thing I want to know is how do you get your obs scenes and alerts during your stream.
Really love the video. Very technical but not technical jargon makes it really easy to understand. Thank you!

Do you think one could still do this or is it too late. asking for a friend. IRL sounds fun
When you go directly live from live u to twitch, u wont have any overlays/alerts and no TTS (donations) going on
I’m considering this IRL setup for my students to cover events at school. But, it’s expensive! We’re gonna need to get some sponsorships with local businesses. :)
Can you do a video for road trips? What’s the best equipment and/or best way to live stream while driving (camera facing the road with TTS activated).
Is there an updated version of this?
If I wanted to record but not livestream with my cell phone, is there such thing as an external device that will save the recording as i'm walking about (for example) instead of my cell phone?
What is the selfie stick Jake is using at 13:49 called? PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP!
Thank you for the price breakdown I've been thinking about a mobile stream setup for a while and was always curious how the pricing for this worked.
Looking at Jake's setup and I'm looking for the exact same selfie stick with the phone attachment and then I can attach my go pro on it but I can't seem to find it at all. Can someone help me
If you just want to record for personal use, could i get away with just the camera and battery?
Too bad they turned the great name IRL to the horrid "Just Chatting" Sounds like your Aunt Fannies tea.
I know.. & why can't we add whatever tags we want like TH-cam? I prefer Twitch for live but those tags 😂
Twitch has Travel and Outdoors but very few IRL pro streamers or just small IRL streamers using it.
IRL is Ice Poseidon's brainchild.
IRL is now Travel & Outdoors!
I was looking for a low-cost setup.
Is it possible to connect my webcam or an old version of GoPro to do it with my smartphone?
You did a great job. Thanks for all your effort. GREAT info
This was super helpful! Trying to do some hiking streams and have been having so much trouble with signal on my phone.
He returns with a new video! Missed you @gamingcareers. Always love your videos!
Hey so how do you get alerts and stuff on the irl backpack
hello very nice video but how i public a videos after i just streamed it i mean that video to can be see under the home tab i ask you this bcs i can see the video i streamed only when i click to content i go to live and then i see my video also my video is set to public visability ... thanks in advance
HI what cable did you use to connect the liveu solo to battery bank to keep it charged?
5G will change outdoor livestreaming
not really 5g range sucks so its only gonna be in big citys
sweg lord its in big cities for testing but it is going to be everywhere
@@aqxuire no it wont
sweg lord Its slowly coming to all cities and there will be more towers www.qualcomm.com/news/onq/2019/09/24/5g-launches-globally-what-comes-next
Elon musk starlink will revolutionize it
Ok one question. How To Setup A Irl Stream With TTS?😔with iPhone or stream backpack???
do you stream gameplay on obs studio or streamlabs obs?
and can you help me get better quality pn stream, i have a good pc
intel i5 8th gen
1070 oc edition
i have good fps but bad quality on 720p
Whats another option if youre not able to buy the liveu?
I’ve worked in ENG (electronic news gathering) in extreme weather situations and I can honestly say that LiveU is shaky as as far as reliability. Ymmv as far as irl in populated areas with strong cell signal but even in unaffected areas before and after the storms it was hit or miss as far as connectivity.
are you saying LIVEU is unreliable?
Should do 2024 update
Yes pls
Would any of this stuff break from say lots of hard movement, like jumping off a rock, or racing around off road on a dirtbike? or MTB?
Premix Utah you might want to put some padding in between the hardware, but the equipment itself shouldn’t break
Really enjoyed the video but wondering about building a portable desktop to take to events with built in video capture cards. Any advice?
Thank you for the information o that video. Very useful although I think everything has change during this time. What about the marathon project. Have you any video to se the result? Thank you again :/)
Omg I've been waiting for this dude you legend!
Thanks for the informative video. I also really like your idea of live streaming your training and the actual marathon! Good luck =)
which gimble do you guys prefer for streaming with a mobliephone?
Brilliant video althiough links for the white USB miodens dont seem to be on the list...
How to get that overlaybar at the bottom which show heartrate, distance etc? Thats actually a really cool feature!!
thanks for the video! Where did you buy your Huawei modems and how much were they?
would there be a way to make your phone the main camera for the setup?
Could you test this setup with a insta360 go 3 ?
This was truly helpful, thank you so much!
Where is the liveU backpack purchased online? Thanks in advance
Thank you for the great video this helped a lot! :)
Awesome video! Are those modems locked? I’m in Kenya and would really appreciate to know if I could use the kit. Thx
the live u solo need 12v - 3A and not 2.1 or 2.5A so care when u will buy a new external battery. i use the AC power with my omars battery but not a good idea.
I'm not seeing any data plans on unlimitedIRL's website.
what hotspot modems you recommend? and what data service you use? a cheaper modem service
Wow thank you! What would I do about EQing?
When you livestream with the Sony, do you set the mode to "live" or "movie". I just got one and live mode eliminates all control of image quality. I plan to use it via an atem switcher. So do I just set the HDMI out put and put it in live mode and press record. Or does movie mode work? Thanks.
You my man area a legend..!! the geek over all geeks
Hello, do you have a video on getting Sub/Dono Alerts to appear on stream???
This was exactly what I was looking for. Brilliant and thank you good sir!
Hi Gaming Careers, Quick question can you stream to multi-social media sites at once example FB, Twitter, TH-cam without using things like restream but just using the USOLO? Truly appreciate your input thanks Gary
You've covered everything. Thank you for this vid.
sony zv e10 work with solou?
i want to use samsung s7 and i need be able to streaming irl 14 days in japan non stop in any advice for power banks that will last more than 30 hours? i plan to buy 4 powerbanks btw i dont care for audiences i just want to stream 14 days non stop
Does the StreamElements mobile app do facecam with screen capture like TH-cam gaming live mobile app? I swear by Streamlabs mobile app for streaming IRL to Twitch but it seems like they only offer selfie mode OR screencap. Thx in advance for any insight.
How could I connect streamelements with gopro so that I can see the chat and the alerts?
Great content, thanks for your sharing, I learnt a lot from that.
Not every camera works with LiveU. Several cameras' viewfinders turn off when connecting with the LiveU.
Also, LiveU Solo option doesn't offer phone support and they blame everything on "firmware updates".
Thank you for a thorough and interesting video🙏🏻
Can A LiveU Solo replace a capture card, or do I need both?
pretty sure the liveu solo contains a capture card
Wow I have a whole new level of respect to lover streamers I watch all most every day
Interesting similarity in concept too "Gun and Run" when shooting film footage in public areas with out a permit "shooting" and "running" off before the officials kick your ass.
Can you use a VPN with the SoloU thing? I live in China, and for the moment without a VPN connection I can't stream to the rest of the world.
I was wondering how to set up EQ for my phone stream? I have a LAV.
Do I need an app?
Great video! Thank you for all the information!
What app do you recommend for streaming from a phone?
I know this video is a couple years old, thinking of making of of these irl backpacks. You explained everything just fine, but that sony bullet cam is no longer available on amazon, and only seen used ones on ebay. Is there an upgraded version of the camera now? Or just another camera that has come out that may be better?
sony fdrx 3000
was there a video made for overlays and editing for this set up?
This video was extremely helpful, thank you very much!
😂
Great video thank you! Question, would this could work for a private streeming plataform like zoom?
This video helped thanks., I have only one question regarding the live u solo, you said it can take up to four methods of uploading data, would it not be more cost-effective ( and lighter) to use a dedicated mobile phone with dual sim and wi-fi (if available)
What's the temperature range for these items? I'm in a 110deg area. Yuma Az. Cooling solutions??
There are none... I'm from Phoenix. No halfway intelligent person is going to be doing anything outside in 110 degree heat though, so what's the point...
can we talk about your thumb at 12:00
He doin the stanky leg but with his thumb
🤣🤣
Pretty good explaination thanks for it. I got a question. Is there a solution when u want to start stream to use a cam on your should which is connected to you mobile phone? The mic from the mobile phone should be enoug for first right?

Stefan
can you make a video on how to have an overlay with liveu solo?
Anyone, hello! Can I use the GOPRO 8 instead of the Sony Camera?
These videos are fantastic, thanks so much
thanks so much bro !!!! great content !
Is there any late 2020 version if this¿
Very well explained brotha
Is it possible to do a dual cam setup?
Excellent presentation of your live broadcast streaming tools need to getting started in a pro level of using an IRL kit.
Looking at Tim from 5 years ago. He's looking fantastic now.
Can anyone tell me how much of this stuff is built into the jvc gy-hm250 camcorder?
I just want to live stream my mountain hikes without dropping connections, any tips
can use Gopro instead Sony AS300?
honestly expected the streamer kit to be way more expensive. Upfront cost is pretty much the price of a pc. Not bad
