Live Broadcasting with the VIRB Mobile App
NOTE: The VIRB® Mobile app has been discontinued from the Google Play Store and is no longer available to download for Android devices.
Live broadcasting is a feature available in the VIRB Mobile app for iOS 10.0 or later only. Live broadcasting is unavailable for the Android version of VIRB Mobile app at this time.
This feature will allow you to stream content so your friends can watch your video in real-time as long as your account meets YouTube requirements. Contact YouTube to verify your account meets these requirements.
Live broadcasting supports up to 720p live streaming. Because the VIRB uses Wi-Fi to connect to your phone, all streaming content will use your cell phone's data plan. Garmin recommends having an unlimited data plan when using this feature.
To use the Live Broadcast Feature:
- Open the VIRB app on your phone
- Touch the Shooting Mode button in the bottom corner
- Touch Broadcast
- Touch YouTube
- Touch Sign in with Google
- Enter the relevant account information to link your YouTube account
- Touch Start Broadcast
By default, your video quality will be set to Automatic. If you notice the video is not displaying smoothly, you may need to reduce the quality of the stream. You can change the resolution of the stream by touching the Settings button.
