Your setup, part by part.
A live stream needs four things: something that sends the picture, a connection that holds, somewhere the stream is produced, and the platforms it goes out to. Here is each part in plain words, and three ways people actually put them together.
The four parts.
- 1A cameraYour phone with the Lumbus Live app, or any camera through your phone or laptop. More on Cameras
- 2A connection that holdsBond: the phones around you lend their connections and Lumbus rejoins the stream. More on Bond
- 3A production roomStudio: scenes, Be right back, every platform at once, recordings. More on Studio
- 4Your platformsKick, Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, X, LinkedIn and any custom RTMP address, all at once from one stream.
Three ways to put it together.
| Setup | What you need | A month |
|---|---|---|
| Your phone | The Lumbus Live app, the phones around you, and Studio. | $49 |
| Your camera | Your phone or a laptop to connect it, the phones around you, and Studio. | $49 |
| Your laptop | OBS or any streaming software, and Studio Pro for a backup source or a second camera. | $149 |
Every price is on Pricing. Nothing is bought once.

Technical detailsThe billing rules and how much a stream uses
- Billing rules
- Studio and Bond are monthly subscriptions. Studio has unlimited live Studio hours (fair use) and a monthly allowance of viewer hours on the public watch page; nothing is cut off when the viewer allowance runs out, and more can be added for the month. Your first Studio plan starts with seven days of Studio Pro, free. A card is taken at the start, and nothing is charged if you cancel before the trial ends. Cancelling stops the next renewal: the plan runs to the end of the month already paid. Extra recording storage is monthly. Taxes are shown separately. Nothing is preselected, and no service is added without you switching it on. Usage alerts before an allowance runs out. No surprise overage charges. An add-on you ask for is itemised and confirmed with you before it is billed.
- How much a stream uses
- Plan on your video bitrate plus about 20% for Bond’s own overhead: that is what your connections carry between them. At 8 Mbps that is about 4.3 GB an hour, so 100 GB lasts around 23 hours; a poor network pushes it towards 5 GB an hour. Adding more phones does not add to the total — the same stream is divided between them.
Questions
- Do I need any hardware?
No. Lumbus uses your phone as the camera, and the phones around you as extra connections. If you already use a camera or a laptop, Lumbus takes that too; a camera sends its picture through your phone or a laptop, unless it streams by itself.
- Is there an app?
Yes. The Lumbus Live app for iPhone and Android is the camera, the controls and the alerts. Same login as the web; plans are bought on the web.
The full answerHide the full answer
Yes. The Lumbus Live app for iPhone and Android is your camera when you stream from your phone, lends a phone’s connection when it stands beside someone else’s stream, and carries your studio and dashboard: scenes and Be right back, go live and end stream, record and clip, platforms on or off, every connection and its health, alerts as pushes even with the app in the background, and the support line. Same login as the web, free with every plan; plans and add-ons are bought on the web.
- Can I stream from a camera or a laptop?
Yes. Anything that sends SRT, SRTLA or RTMP points at your Lumbus address. The details live in the dashboard and the guides, not on this page.
The full answerHide the full answer
Yes. Lumbus gives every source its own SRT, SRTLA and RTMP address from day one. Point a laptop running your streaming software, or a camera that streams by itself, at them and the picture arrives in your studio like any other; on Studio Pro and Studio Max a second source can stand by as a backup and take over by itself, or go on screen beside the first as a second camera.
