Blackmagic’s free camera app can now stream directly to YouTube and Twitch
Blackmagic released an update to its free camera app with some new features that streamers and professional broadcasters will appreciate. Both the Android and iOS versions of the Blackmagic Camera app can now stream directly to YouTube, Twitch, and Vimeo, removing the need for third-party apps or additional encoding hardware. You just need to select your platform and enter a secure stream key. While broadcasting, you’ll still have access to the app’s controls so you can adjust settings like exposure and focus on the fly.
The update also adds support for SRT: a more modern streaming protocol frequently used by professional broadcasters that’s optimized for networks whose speeds and reliability are less consistent, like the internet. Blackmagic Camera also gains support for custom RTMP and SRT servers for streamers wanting alternatives to the three native platforms now supported.
Other improvements to the app include detailed and immediate alerts when an external drive is disconnected to help prevent data loss when working with high-res and high framerate Apple ProRes files the iPhone can’t record internally. And there’s now an option to select the number of multi-view angles while monitoring remote cameras, allowing for more flexibility when customizing the layout of multiple video feeds on a device with a larger screen like an iPad or a Mac.
