One app. Three roles.

The HodieLive Mobile App

A single download for Android and iOS. Sign in once and the app shows the right interface for your role — Admin, Director, or Broadcaster — automatically.

Android and iOS builds are distributed by invitation during the private beta. Approved pilots receive install links for both platforms.

Three roles, one login

The app reads your role from your account on sign-in and routes you to the right surface. No separate downloads for camera operators, directors, and admins.

Admin

Run the whole organization from your phone.

  • Create and schedule events
  • Manage cameras and team members
  • Configure streaming destinations (YouTube, Facebook, custom)
  • Camera templates and reusable presets

Director

Switch the live program in real time, hands-free.

  • Live program preview with ON-AIR indicator
  • Tap-or-voice camera switching ("camera one", "camera two")
  • Per-camera status: online, offline, publishing
  • Start, end, and supervise live sessions

Broadcaster

Turn any phone into a professional broadcast camera.

  • Native SRT and RTMP publishing on iOS and Android
  • Auto-reconnect when the streaming server rotates
  • Front and back camera, hot-swap between takes
  • One-tap "Go Live" — waits for the event start automatically

Broadcaster role

Phone → broadcast camera

Sign in as Broadcaster and the app turns any smartphone into a professional broadcast camera. One tap to go live — the app handles publishing, reconnects, and event timing for you.

Key features

  • Native SRT and RTMP publishing

    Hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding on iOS and Android, low-latency SRT or universally-compatible RTMP.

  • Event-aware Go Live

    Tap "Go Live" before the streaming server is ready — the app waits, polls, and starts publishing automatically once everything is online.

  • Auto-reconnect on server rotation

    If the streaming server changes mid-event, the app re-fetches the new URL and reconnects without dropping the operator's flow.

  • Front and back camera, live switch

    Swap cameras between takes with a single tap. Permission handling is built in.

  • Status visibility for the operator

    Clear ON-AIR / Connecting / Waiting indicators so the camera operator always knows the publish state — no more silent failures.

Requirements

Director role

Switch the live program

Sign in as Director and take control of your HodieLive broadcast from your phone. Preview all camera feeds, switch with a tap or a voice command, and manage your live session — all from the sidelines.

Just say:

"Camera one"
"Camera two"
"Switch to cam three"
"Go to camera four"

Key features

  • Live program preview

    Watch the broadcast output in real time, with a clear ON-AIR indicator on the active camera.

  • Tap or voice switching

    Tap numbered buttons to switch instantly, or use natural voice commands hands-free while you watch the action.

  • Per-camera status indicators

    See at a glance which cameras are online, offline, or having issues — before you switch to them.

  • Session control

    Start and stop the broadcast session and supervise the run from the same screen.

  • Event-based control

    Pick the event you're directing and the app loads every assigned camera ready to switch.

Admin role

Run the org from your phone

Sign in as Admin and the same app surfaces everything your organization needs to plan, schedule, and manage live productions — no laptop required.

Events & scheduling

Create events, set start and end times, assign cameras and operators, and review them on a single dashboard.

Team management

Invite operators and directors, assign roles, and control which events they have access to.

Streaming destinations

Configure outputs to YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, or any custom RTMP destination — with stream keys stored securely.

Camera templates

Build reusable camera configurations once and apply them across recurring events — no setup ceremony each game.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the app really free?

Yes — the HodieLive app is included with every plan. Camera operators, directors, and admins all use the same free download.

Why is the iOS app called "LiveSource" right now?

LiveSource is our previous app on the App Store. We're moving everything into a single unified HodieLive app, and the iOS rebrand is rolling out next. Until then, the LiveSource listing is the right one for iOS broadcasters.

Why isn't HodieLive on Google Play yet?

Google Play now requires verified-developer enrollment for new accounts. We're completing that process; in the meantime, the open-beta APK is the official way to install on Android.

What's the difference between SRT and RTMP?

SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) offers lower latency and automatic error correction, ideal for unreliable networks. RTMP is universally compatible with existing streaming infrastructure. The Broadcaster role supports both.

How many camera operators can stream at once?

All HodieLive plans include up to 4 simultaneous camera feeds. Need more? You can add cameras 5–12 at $3/hour each on any plan.

Can volunteers use the app?

Absolutely. The Broadcaster role is designed to be simple enough for anyone to use — sign in, pick the event, tap Go Live. No technical training required.
