You don’t need a complicated setup to start live streaming, just a few key devices and the right app. In this guide, we’ll walk through how to create a streaming studio that works for gaming, tutorials, or any live content.

What You’ll Need

• iPhone

• iPad

• HDMI gaming source (console, Apple TV, or similar)

• Capture card (like the Elgato HD60 or similar)

• Tripod or mount for your iPhone

• The Detail app installed on both devices

Step 1: Connect Your Devices

1. Mount your iPhone on a tripod or stand.

2. Open the Detail app on your iPhone and iPad.

3. On both devices, start a new project and connect them wirelessly, your iPad will now show your iPhone’s camera feed.

Step 2: Set Up Your Gaming Source

• Connect your gaming console or Apple TV to your capture card via HDMI.

• Connect the capture card output to your monitor or TV.

• Plug the capture card into your iPad so Detail can capture the gameplay feed.

Now you can create a split-screen view with your iPhone camera on one side and the gameplay feed on the other.

Step 3: Go Live

• On your iPad in Detail, tap the 3 dots on top and then Live Streaming.

• Free version: stream to one platform.

• Pro version: stream to two platforms at once (YouTube, Twitch, Instagram Live, custom RTMP).

• Paste your stream key from your chosen platform.

• Tap Go Live. You’re streaming.

Step 4: Customize Your Layout

To make it look more like a gaming stream:

• Tap Layout and choose Picture-in-Picture or any style you like.

• Set your gameplay to full screen with your camera masked as a smaller overlay.

• Move your camera frame to a corner that doesn’t block gameplay.

Step 5: Record While Streaming

You can record your stream at the same time:

• Tap Record while live.

• Save your content to repurpose for YouTube uploads, TikTok clips, or highlight reels.

Why This Setup Works

• Fast setup: connect in minutes, no complicated wiring.

• Flexible: stream gameplay, live shows, or product demos.

• Professional look: split-screen, picture-in-picture, and masking options.

• Dual output: live stream and record at the same time.
