How did I live stream grilling a steak from my phone yesterday? I'm glad you asked! First, you need a live video streaming app on your phone. I used Larix Broadcaster. It's available for both Android and iOS.
Larix Broadcaster – Softvelum: efficient tools to build your streaming networks
Larix Broadcaster apps for remote contribution provide easy ways to stream from Android and iOS
 Next, I visited
zap.stream
zap.stream - Nostr Live Streaming
Nostr live streaming powered by Bitcoin lightning. Stream freely with Bitcoin payments, no censorship, open source.
 from Kiwi browser and signed in with my Nostr Connect browser extension. Once signed in, I configured my stream settings and paid the Lightning invoice to allow me to stream. I paid 1K sats and chose to use the best quality. Then, I opened Larix and went into settings to add a new connection. I added a zap.stream connection with the stream URL and stream key that I obtained above. Finally, I edited my stream name from my

 and tapped the camera shutter button on Larix. Boom. Zap.stream live streaming from mobile. The only real issue is being unable to view comments on mobile. You need a second device to do that. Though, I wonder if I could have split screened it? Probably. It would have been very small though. Good luck!

You need a mobile browser with a nostr signing extension that has your key. On Android Kiwi is a convenient choice, on iOS safari + Nostore extension ist the only option afaik.

You can sign in with your nsec with Chrome, but I wouldn't recommend doing that. Firefox and Kiwi can use extensions on mobile to allow you to keep your key safe.

Sorry for the delay! I just say your pheonixd guide as well! Great stuff. Maybe a simple guide to back up your nostr data to your computer if you are not running your one relay. Thanks again for your hard work in this space!

This is a half assed guide I made to stream from mobile, but I also believe that @TheGrinder has guides for desktop. I also would be willing to hop on a call if you need it, Ken. Lemme know.
