What are some things I should consider as an event organizer?

HERE ARE OUR RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Test at least an hour ahead of the event. During sound check is best.

2. Strong LTE connection or Wifi for phones who are filming. A dedicated Wifi network is best, one that isn’t used by event attendees.WiFi over 30mbs will suffice.

3. Prevent your phone from sleeping — if your phone goes to sleep, your stream will end. You can manage this in the “Display & Brightness” of your iPhone by turning your Auto-Lock to “Never”.

4. Having a tripod or another way to steady the phone being used to film any major perspectives is recommended.

5. The quality of the stream is as good as the camera it’s filmed with. Incrowd recommends iPhone 7 or higher and an Android 9 and up. 

6. For better quality sound, we recommend using an iRig or an iStream to connect your phone to the soundboard. 

7. Have charging capabilities ready for your devices. Especially for a GoPro, as their batteries can drain easily with high quality stream and are prone to further loss in hot or cold weather conditions.
