Livestream using a Mobile Device

Livestreaming on Mobile.

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. This doc would replace OBS Studio part of that tutorial with Streamlabs or Vimeo.
