# Livestream using a Mobile Device

It is possible to stream to a Mona space Canvas using a Mobile device including the camera. For that you will need to use a smartphone app that can link to an RTMP Server. Two apps include Streamlabs (Free but less reliable) and Vimeo (Paid but reliable). 

An RTMP Server would include something like Livepeer which is covered in [livestream-using-obs-studio](https://docs.monaverse.com/collect/live-streaming-in-mona/livestream-using-obs-studio "mention"). This doc would replace OBS Studio part of that tutorial with Streamlabs or Vimeo. 

## Streamlabs

* You may be requested to allow the StreamLabs app to use your Microphone and Camera
* Once signed in with your Streamlabs ID, go to 'Settings / Account Settings'
