Using GSM Modem.
- In our experience testing this, GoPro app is inconsistent on using mobile data to live stream. Hence, we highly recommend using a 4G GSM modem.
- To setup the modem, simply insert a simcard with an active mobile plan subscription (refer to service providers) and turn the modem on.
- On the stream to RTMP screen, connect to WIFI connection SSID generated by the GSM modem.
- On the stream to RTMP screen, connect to Wifi/Hotspot network and paste the Stream URL in the “ENTER YOUR RTMP URL” column.
- You may also choose to save a copy to your GoPro if you so desire by sliding the slider button.
- Tap on “Setup Live Stream”.
*Side note: Using 2 device under 1 connection will work. However,we do highly recommend to connect each device to its own separate connection due to bandwidth consumption and overall data usage*
