Here are a few solutions to use iPhones as cameras in OBS to go live to EventLive platform.

Using your phone as a web cam is helpful with OBS streaming to EventLive, and also for your calls on Zoom, Meet, Teams, Skype, Slack, Google Chrome, Cisco Webex, etc. It usually is much better quality than other webcams.
