How to stream with GoPro and EventLive

To live stream with GoPro and EventLive, you will need:



GoPro camera (Hero7, Hero8, Hero9, Hero10, GoPro MAX)
Quik app installed on your phone or tablet. Download Quik App from GoPro here: https://gopro.com/en/us/shop/softwareandapp
EventLive account. Create one FREE here: https://broadcaster.eventlive.pro/

GoPro streaming tips:



Keep your GoPro close to WiFi source or to your phone if using as a hotspot
If you walk away with GoPro or take hotspot away from GoPro the transmission would end
Keep live streaming GoPro away from direct sun for too long. GoPro overheats easily and the stream can stop.
Consider going live from EventLive app instead
