Android IRL streaming

Go live with one phone.

Roam Live is a free streaming app for Android. Stream over RTMPS or encrypted SRT.

Open beta. Android 10 or newer.

One path that grows

Start simple. Add complexity when it earns its place.

1

Stream from the phone

Send one camera directly to a compatible RTMPS or encrypted SRT destination. Read chat, use the BRB screen, and keep a local recording.

2

Learn what matters

Test your signal, audio, bitrate, overlays, and battery life before adding more moving parts.

3

Move production home

Use the tested home OBS guide to send your phone feed over encrypted SRT and control OBS through Tailscale.

Built for the phone

Enough control without a control room.

Chat on screen

Read public Twitch, Kick, and YouTube chat on the phone. It is not drawn into the broadcast.

BRB & Stealth

Keep chat and controls out of sight when the rear camera faces you and the screen faces the public. While live, Stealth blacks out the display and can reduce screen power use and heat.

Overlays

Add text, images, and web overlays. Build a useful layout without turning the phone into a desktop editor.

Field reliability

Auto bitrate, reconnect attempts, local recording, an audio level meter, and thermal safeguards help with real mobile conditions.

Release status

Google Play open beta.

Roam Live 0.10.3 is available through the Google Play open beta. Open Roam Live on Google Play.

Google Play is the current release channel. APK downloads are paused.

Protect your stream key

Treat a stream URL like a password. Use RTMPS or encrypted SRT. Rotate the key or passphrase if it is exposed.

Privacy

No Roam account or developer analytics.

Roam sends media and network requests only where a feature needs them. Streaming platforms, chat services, web overlays, Tailscale, and the website host still handle data when you use those services.
