• If you are using Wi-Fi, disconnect mobile data (e.g., LTE, 5G, etc.), and if you are using mobile data, disconnect Wi-Fi connection.

  • ❗️

    However, do not use public Wi-Fi as the network speed may be slow. Wi-Fi that can be connected privately is recommended.

• Since the battery affects heat generation and processing speed, you need to pay attention to it when hosting livestream on a mobile device. Check the details below.

✅

• Is the battery fully charged?
  When the battery is low, the mobile device may switch to low-power mode or be discharged, which may affect the quality of live streaming or cause interruption. Maintain a battery level of at least 50% while on air and ensure a sufficient battery level by using a charging cable or battery pack.

• Is the phone case removed?
  Using a phone case generates heat, which slows the processing speed and increases battery usage. Therefore, using the mobile device without the case is recommended for livestream.

• Does your device drain the battery slowly?
  It is recommended to check if you have the latest device or a device that drains the battery slowly for stable streaming. See the details below to optimize your smartphone settings for the livestream.

• Turn on the Silent mode. Mute all notifications of various applications such as Message and KakaoTalk. Every sound is transmitted through the livestream and also recorded in VOD.
• Disable the Low Power mode. The battery level must be at least 90% before streaming live.
• Disable Bluetooth.If you are not using a Bluetooth microphone, turn Bluetooth off.
• Close all running applications other than the streaming app.Close all applications except for apps related to the livestream, so there are no apps running in the background.

Tip for When You Need to Switch Networks during On Air

There are times when you need to switch a network connection method due to a network issue occurring while on air. In this case, follow the instructions below to change the settings to prevent the streaming from stopping.
