Mobile streaming is becoming increasingly popular — because phone is always at hand, you can stream instantly and without expensive equipment. This is convenient for both IRL broadcasts and gaming on the go. Smartphone allows quickly launching broadcast, connecting to audience and starting streaming without unnecessary complications.
What You Need for Mobile Streaming
To stream via smartphone on Twitch, minimal resources are needed:
- Installed Twitch app.
- Account with confirmed email and number.
- Stable internet connection — Wi-Fi or mobile 4G/5G.
- Suitable device: iOS 13+ or Android 8.0+ and higher.
- Built-in camera and microphone — usually basic configuration is enough.
How to Launch Broadcast from Phone via Twitch
Step 1. Open Twitch App
Download Twitch app, install and log in to your account.
Step 2. Launch
1. Press camera icon (usually top right).
2. Choose stream type:
- Front or back camera for IRL broadcasts.
- Mobile game if phone and app support it.
3. Specify title, topic and settings (enable chat, specify labels).
4. Press "Start Broadcast" — and the stream is launched!
Now your smartphone works as full-featured studio: you broadcast every movement live.

Mobizen Live / Prism Live Studio

You launch the app, give permissions for screen recording, connect Twitch account and start showing mobile gaming.
Why Stream from Phone?
- Quick launch: turned on — and you can broadcast.
- Minimum costs: smartphone replaces PC, microphone, camera and software.

- Format variety: from IRL to mobile games — everything is available.
Your phone has become universal tool allowing not just watching, but actively broadcasting in mobile conditions.
Tips for Quality Mobile Streaming
- Use Wi-Fi for stable connection — 4G still lags behind in transmission quality.

- Set up notifications to monitor chat without switching apps.
