The app

Go live from your phone, with Bond

Your phone is the camera and the encoder: it sends over every connection it has, and the phones around you lend theirs.

Go live

  1. 1

    Open the app on Go live. It asks for the camera the first time.

  2. 2

    Check Where your stream goes, then press Go live.

  3. 3

    Before you go live (the sliders button) has Send sound, Prioritise quality and Send to my studio.

What the word on screen means

  • Protected

    Two or more connections on different networks are carrying you.

  • Single

    One connection, or several on the same network.

  • Weak

    Your connections together carry less than your stream needs.

  • Lost

    Nothing is carrying your stream.

The phones around you

  1. 1

    Press Add a phone. Another phone scans the code, or opens the link you share.

  2. 2

    Each phone asks to join: Let in or Decline. Trusted crew lets phones with your invite join without asking.

  • Phones beside you, by plan: Free 1 · Studio 2 · Studio Plus 4 · Studio Pro 8 · Studio Max 14. Bond comes with every plan.

  • They work best within about 10 metres of your phone.

Lending your connection

  • A friend opens your invite, and Lumbus Live opens on Share your connection. They press Join; no Lumbus account needed.

  • Their phone lends its own connection until they press Stop sharing. What it carries counts against their own phone plan.
