Broadcasting Live on the Go: 

How to Livecast from Mobile Devices
In this class, mobile journalists and bloggers will
learn how to invoke a live stream from their mobile
devices. Both traditional and VR streaming will be
covered in depth. We’ll explore options from social
networks such as YouTube, Twitter and Facebook
as well as robust platforms like LiveStream.
Creators will also learn how to tap into the DJIGO
app for streaming from drones and the Osmo
camera system. We’ll also tackle hardware
suggestions to improve video and audio quality.
Broadcasting Live on the Go:

networks.
